Catch the Power: How to Secure the Colossal Dynamax Drilbur in Pokémon GO

Dynamax Drilbur Arrives in Pokémon GO: A Comprehensive Guide

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 encounter rates in Max Battles lasted until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17. While its appearance rate will likely decrease after the event, it should remain available in Max Battles at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.

Shiny Dynamax Drilbur?

Yes! A Shiny Dynamax Drilbur is a possibility after a successful Max Battle, making it a highly sought-after prize.

Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles

Dynamax Drilbur's Max Battles are 1-star difficulty, making solo victories achievable. However, teaming up with friends simplifies the process considerably.

Recommended Counters

Drilbur's Ground-type weakness makes Grass and Water-type Pokémon ideal counters. Ice-types are also effective, but the lack of Dynamax-capable Ice-types currently limits their use in Max Battles.

Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon suggestions (using their evolved forms for maximum power, but less evolved forms are still viable):

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 quicker victories.

With these strategies, catching Dynamax Drilbur should be a manageable task, even for solo players.

Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
