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.

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!
