Dynamax Drilbur's Pokémon GO Debut

Dynamax Drilbur appeared in Pokémon GO starting at 10 AM local time on Friday, November 15, 2024. It featured prominently in the Simply Groundbreaking event, running from November 15th to 8 PM local time on November 17th, increasing its appearance rate in Max Battles. After the event, it will remain available in Max Battles, albeit less frequently, likely appearing at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.

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):

For Max Battles, a team of three Water and/or Grass types is ideal for strategic switching. Remember to maximize Max Move levels for quick victories. Even solo players can easily catch Dynamax Drilbur with these strategies.
