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 Battles starting at 10 AM local time on Friday, November 15, 2024, during 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 Battles, albeit less frequently, at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.
Shiny Dynamax Drilbur
Yes, a Shiny Dynamax Drilbur can be encountered after winning a Max Battle. This makes it a highly sought-after prize for dedicated collectors.
Solo Max Battles?
Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Battle, making solo completion feasible. However, teaming up with friends simplifies the process. For optimal success, utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages.
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 some top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using evolved forms for maximum power):
| 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 Max Battles, a team of three Water and/or Grass types ensures a strong, adaptable lineup. Remember to maximize Max Move levels for quicker victories.
With these strategies, catching Dynamax Drilbur should be straightforward, even for solo players. Good luck!
