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 encounter rates lasted until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17, 2024. After the event, Dynamax Drilbur will appear less frequently in Max Raids, likely at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.

Shiny Dynamax Drilbur

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

Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Raids

Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Raid, making solo completion achievable. However, teaming up with friends significantly increases your chances of success. 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 Ice-types are also effective, the lack of Dynamax-capable Ice-types currently limits options.

Here are top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using evolved forms for maximum power, but less evolved forms may 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, allowing for strategic substitutions if needed. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for quicker victories.
