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 optimal strategies and counter suggestions.

Dynamax Drilbur's Debut

Dynamax Drilbur appeared in Pokémon GO Max Battles 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. While its appearance frequency will likely decrease after the event, it's expected to remain available in Max Battles, appearing at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.

Shiny Dynamax Drilbur

Yes! A Shiny Drilbur can be encountered after winning a Max Battle, making this a particularly sought-after catch for dedicated trainers.

Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles

As a 1-star Max Battle, Dynamax Drilbur is manageable solo. However, teaming up with friends simplifies the encounter. 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 current lack of Dynamax-capable Ice types limits their viability in Max Battles.

Here are top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using their evolved forms for maximum power, though 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 Max Battles, a team of three Water/Grass-type Pokémon provides flexibility and ensures a strong counter is always available. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for a quicker victory. Good luck catching Dynamax Drilbur!
