Dynamax Drilbur Arrives in Pokémon GO: A Guide to Catching This Ground-Type Pokémon

Dynamax Drilbur has burrowed its way into Pokémon GO, and this guide will help you successfully capture this powerful Pokémon.

Dynamax Drilbur's Debut

Dynamax Drilbur appeared in Pokémon GO starting at 10 AM local time on Friday, November 15, 2024, as part of the Simply Groundbreaking event. Increased appearance rates in Max Battles lasted until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17.

Yes! You can encounter a Shiny Dynamax Drilbur after winning a Max Battle. This makes it a highly sought-after addition to any collection.

Solo Max Battles?

Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles are 1-star difficulty. This means solo completion is achievable. However, teaming up with friends will make the battle significantly easier. Remember to utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages.

Recommended Counters

Drilbur's Ground-type weakness makes Grass and Water-type Pokémon ideal counters. Ice-types are also effective, but the lack of Dynamax-capable Ice-types currently limits this option.

Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using their evolved forms for maximum power):
