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):

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 Dynamax Pokémon to ensure a strong counter for any situation. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for a faster victory.

Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
