Dynamax Drilbur Arrives in Pokémon GO

Dynamax Drilbur becomes available starting Friday, November 15, 2024, at 10 AM local time.

During the Simply Groundbreaking event from November 15-17 (ending at 8 PM local time), Dynamax Drilbur will appear more frequently in Max Battles, giving trainers multiple opportunities to catch one.

Post-event, Dynamax Drilbur will remain in Max Battles at reduced frequency, following the pattern of previous Dynamax Pokémon by appearing occasionally at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.

Shiny Dynamax Drilbur Availability

Shiny Drilbur can be encountered after completing Max Battles.

This dual-feature Pokémon - both Shiny and capable of Dynamaxing - presents a rare catch opportunity for dedicated trainers.

Can Dynamax Drilbur Battles Be Completed Solo?

As a 1-star Max Battle opponent, Dynamax Drilbur is significantly easier than challenging foes like Falinks, making solo battles feasible. However, teaming up with friends simplifies the fight.

For best results, bring your strongest Dynamax Pokémon while leveraging type advantages to secure victory and catch opportunities.

Recommended Counters Against Dynamax Drilbur

Ground-type Drilbur requires Water or Grass-type counters. While Ice-types are effective, currently no Dynamax-capable Ice Pokémon exist for these battles.

Below are top-tier Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (fully evolved forms preferred for maximum power, though mid-evolutions like Dynamax Squirle/Sobble remain viable alternatives).

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

Build a well-balanced team of three Water/Grass-types to maintain offensive pressure if Drilbur defeats one member.

Maximize battle efficiency by upgrading Max Moves and activating them immediately after Dynamaxing your Pokémon.

Following these strategies ensures successful Dynamax Drilbur captures, even for solo players.

Pokémon GO remains available on all mobile platforms.
