Can You Solo Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles?

Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Battle, making solo completion achievable. However, teaming up with friends simplifies the process. For optimal success, utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages.

Suggested Counters for Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles

Drilbur's Ground typing makes Grass and Water-type Pokémon effective counters. While Ground is also weak to Ice, currently no Dynamax-capable Ice-types are available.

Here are recommended Dynamax Pokémon (fully evolved forms are suggested for maximum power, but less evolved forms may still suffice):
