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 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 continue to appear in Max Raids, though less frequently, 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.

Solo Max Raids?

Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Raid, making solo completion feasible. However, teaming up with friends simplifies the battle significantly.

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.

Consider these top Dynamax Pokémon choices (fully evolved forms are recommended for maximum effectiveness, but less evolved forms may still suffice):

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 Pokémon to ensure a strong counter is always available. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for quicker victories.

With these strategies, catching Dynamax Drilbur should be straightforward, even for solo players. Good luck!
