Dynamax Drilbur Debuts in Pokémon GO!

Catch Dynamax Drilbur in Pokémon GO: A Comprehensive Guide

Dynamax Drilbur has arrived in Pokémon GO, and this guide will walk you through capturing this powerful Pokémon.

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, 2024. Following the event, Dynamax Drilbur will continue to appear in Max Raids, albeit less frequently, 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 for collectors.

Soloing Dynamax Drilbur

Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Raid, making solo completion achievable. However, teaming up with friends significantly increases your success rate.

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 in Pokémon GO necessitates focusing on Grass and Water.

Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (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 a faster victory.

Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
