Dynamaxed Drilbur Discovered in Pokémon GO

Catching 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. Its increased appearance rate during the Simply Groundbreaking event (November 15th – November 17th, 8 PM local time) provides ample opportunities for capture. After the event, it will likely remain available in Max Raids, albeit less frequently, appearing at Power Spots and potentially 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 dedicated trainers.

Solo Max Raids?

Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Raid. Unlike tougher encounters like Falinks and Gigantax, solo completion is achievable. However, teaming up with friends significantly increases your chances of success.

Recommended Counters

Drilbur's Ground-type weakness makes Grass and Water-type Pokémon ideal counters. While Ground is also weak to Ice, the lack of Dynamax Ice-types currently limits options.

Here are top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using their evolved forms for maximum power, but less evolved forms might 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

Form a team of three Water and/or Grass-types for optimal flexibility. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for quick victories.

With these strategies, capturing Dynamax Drilbur, even solo, should be manageable.

Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
