Catch Dynamax Drilbur in Pokémon GO: A Comprehensive Guide
Dynamax Drilbur has arrived in Pokémon GO! This guide details how to catch this powerful Pokémon, including optimal strategies and counter suggestions.
Dynamax Drilbur's Debut
Dynamax Drilbur appeared in Pokémon GO Max Raids starting at 10 AM local time on Friday, November 15, 2024, as part of the Simply Groundbreaking event. Increased encounter rates lasted until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17. While encounter rates will decrease after the event, Dynamax Drilbur will likely remain available in Max Raids at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.
Shiny Drilbur
Yes! A Shiny Dynamax Drilbur is a possibility after a successful Max Raid battle. This makes it a highly sought-after addition for dedicated collectors.
Soloing Dynamax Drilbur
Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Raid, making solo completion feasible. However, teaming up with friends significantly increases your chances of success. For optimal results, use your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages.
Recommended Counters
Drilbur is a Ground-type Pokémon. Therefore, Grass and Water-type Pokémon are highly effective counters. While Ice-types are also super effective, the lack of currently available Dynamax Ice-types limits their use in Max Raids.
Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using their evolved forms for maximum power, but less evolved forms may still suffice):
| Pokémon | Suggested Moveset |
|---|---|
 Dynamax Blastoise | Water Gun Hydro Cannon |
 Dynamax Venusaur | Vine Whip Frenzy Plant |
 Dynamax Rillaboom | Razor Leaf Grass Knot |
 Dynamax Inteleon | Water Gun Surf |
For optimal team composition, use a combination of these Water and Grass types to ensure a strong replacement if one Pokémon faints. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for a quicker victory.
Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
