Catching Dynamax Drilbur in Pokémon GO: A Comprehensive Guide

Dynamax Drilbur has burrowed its way into Pokémon GO! This guide details how to catch this powerful Pokémon, including optimal strategies and counter suggestions.

Dynamax Drilbur's Arrival

Dynamax Drilbur debuted in Pokémon GO on Friday, November 15, 2024, at 10 AM local time, as part of the Simply Groundbreaking event. Increased appearance rates in Max Battles continued until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17. While its appearance frequency will decrease after the event, it's expected to remain available in Max Battles, appearing at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.

Yes! A Shiny Dynamax Drilbur is a possibility after a successful Max Battle. This makes it a highly sought-after prize for dedicated collectors.

Solo Max Battles?

Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles are 1-star difficulty. Unlike tougher battles featuring Falinks or Gigantax, solo completion is entirely feasible. However, teaming up with friends provides an easier and faster victory. Remember to utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages for a smoother 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 their use in Max Battles.

Here are top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using their evolved forms for maximum power, though less evolved versions may still suffice):

For optimal results, create a team of three Water and/or Grass-type Pokémon, allowing for strategic substitutions if needed. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for quicker victories.

With this guidance, catching Dynamax Drilbur should be a relatively straightforward task, even for solo players. Good luck, trainers!
