Encounter Dynamax Drilbur in Pokémon GO!

This guide covers how to catch the newly arrived Dynamax Drilbur in Pokémon GO.

Dynamax Drilbur's Debut

Dynamax Drilbur appeared in Pokémon GO Max Raids starting at 10 AM local time on Friday, November 15, 2024. Increased appearance rates lasted until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17, 2024, during the Simply Groundbreaking event. After the event, Dynamax Drilbur will continue to appear in Max Raids, albeit less frequently, likely at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.

Shiny Dynamax Drilbur?

Yes! A Shiny Dynamax Drilbur can be encountered after a successful Max Raid battle. This makes it a particularly 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.

Recommended Counters

Drilbur is a Ground-type Pokémon; therefore, Grass and Water-type Pokémon are highly effective counters. While Ground is also weak to Ice, currently no Dynamax-capable Ice-types are available.

Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using their evolved forms for maximum power, but less evolved versions 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 a quick victory.

Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
