"Guide to Catching Dynamax Drilbur in Pokemon GO"

Exciting news for *Pokemon GO* enthusiasts: the latest addition to the game is Dynamax Drilbur. This powerful variant has made its grand entrance, and you might be wondering how to snag one for your collection. Let's dive into the details and strategies for capturing this new Dynamax Pokemon.

Dynamax Drilbur Debut in Pokemon GO

Dynamax Drilbur made its debut in *Pokemon GO* at 10 AM local time on Friday, November 15, 2024. During the Simply Groundbreaking event, which runs from November 15 through to Sunday, November 17 at 8 PM local time, you'll have plenty of opportunities to encounter this Pokemon more frequently in Max Battles. After the event concludes, Dynamax Drilbur will continue to appear in Max Battles, though at a reduced frequency, joining the regular rotation at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.

Can Dynamax Drilbur Be Shiny?

Yes, it is indeed possible to encounter a Shiny Drilbur after winning a Max Battle. Given that this Pokemon can be both Shiny and able to Dynamax, it presents a rare and coveted addition for avid collectors looking to catch 'em all.

Can You Solo Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles in Pokemon GO?

As a 1-star Max Battle, Dynamax Drilbur should be manageable to take down solo. Unlike more challenging battles with Falinks or Gigantax, you should be able to handle this one on your own. However, teaming up with friends can make the battle even easier. To maximize your chances of victory, bring your strongest Dynamax Pokemon and exploit type advantages to swiftly win the battle and catch Dynamax Drilbur.

Suggested Counters for Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles

Given that Drilbur is a Ground type, your best bet is to bring Grass or Water type Pokemon into the Max Battle. Although Ground types are also weak to Ice-type Pokemon, no Ice-type Pokemon can currently Dynamax, so they won't be viable for these battles. Here are some top suggestions for Dynamax Pokemon to use against Dynamax Drilbur:

Pokemon	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 Max Battles, you can assemble a team of three Pokemon. Ideally, you should create a team composed of these Water and Grass types to switch in a powerful Pokemon if Dynamax Drilbur knocks one out. Don't forget to level up your Max Moves and use these powerful options after Dynamaxing your Pokemon to secure a quick victory.

With these strategies in mind, catching Dynamax Drilbur should be within reach, even if you're playing solo.
