Dynamax Drilbur Arrives in Pokémon GO: Your Guide to Catching This Ground-Type Pokémon
Dynamax Drilbur has burrowed its way into Pokémon GO, and this guide will help you successfully capture this powerful Pokémon.
Dynamax Drilbur's Debut
Dynamax Drilbur appeared in Pokémon GO starting at 10 AM local time on Friday, November 15, 2024, as part of the Simply Groundbreaking event. Increased appearance rates in Max Battles lasted until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17, 2024. After the event, Dynamax Drilbur will continue to appear in Max Battles, albeit less frequently, similar to previous Dynamax Pokémon. Expect to find it at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.
Shiny Dynamax Drilbur?
Solo Max Battles?
Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Battle, meaning solo victory is achievable. While teamwork makes the battle easier, a strong solo effort is entirely possible. Utilize your most powerful Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages for a quicker win.
Recommended Counters
Drilbur's Ground-type weakness makes Grass and Water-type Pokémon ideal counters. While Ice-type Pokémon are also effective, the lack of Dynamax-capable Ice types currently limits this option.
Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using their evolved forms for maximum power, though 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 results, create a team of three Water and/or Grass-type Pokémon to ensure a strong counter for every situation. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for a faster victory.
With these strategies, catching Dynamax Drilbur should be a relatively straightforward endeavor, even for solo players. Good luck, Trainers!
Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
