Capture 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 shiny hunting strategies and recommended counters.
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 appearance rates lasted until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17. After the event, Dynamax Drilbur will continue to appear in Max Raids, albeit less frequently, at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.
Shiny Drilbur
Yes, Shiny Dynamax Drilbur is a possibility! Winning a Max Raid battle offers a chance to encounter this rare variant.
Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Raids
Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Raid, making solo completion achievable. However, teaming up with friends significantly increases your success rate. Utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages for an easier victory.
Recommended Counters
Drilbur's Ground-type weakness makes Grass and Water-type Pokémon ideal counters. While Ground is also weak to Ice, currently no Dynamax-capable Ice-types are available.
Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon choices (using their evolved forms for maximum power):
| 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 Dynamax Pokémon to ensure a strong counter is always available. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for quicker victories.
Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
