Discover the Secret to Acquiring Dynamax Drilbur in 'Pokémon GO'

Catching 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. While its appearance frequency will decrease after the event, Dynamax Drilbur is expected to remain available in Max Raids at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.

Shiny Drilbur

Yes, Shiny Dynamax Drilbur is possible! This makes catching it a particularly rewarding experience for dedicated trainers.

Solo Max Battles?

Dynamax Drilbur Max Raids are 1-star difficulty. Unlike tougher raids featuring Falinks or Gigantax, solo completion is achievable. Teaming up with friends, however, significantly increases success rates. Utilizing strong Dynamax Pokémon and exploiting type advantages is crucial for a quick victory.

Recommended Counters

Drilbur is a Ground-type Pokémon, making 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 Raids.

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

Pokemon	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 a faster victory.
