It featured prominently in the Simply Groundbreaking event, increasing its appearance rate in Max Battles from November 15th to 8 PM local time on November 17th. After the event, while less frequent, it will likely continue to appear in Max Battles, rotating with other Dynamax Pokémon at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.

Can You Solo Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles in Pokémon GO?
Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles are 1-star difficulty. Unlike tougher battles featuring Falinks or Gigantax, solo victory is achievable. However, teaming up with friends significantly increases your chances of success. Using your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploiting type advantages is key.
Suggested Counters for Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles
Drilbur is a Ground-type Pokémon, making Grass and Water-type Pokémon effective counters. While Ground is also weak to Ice, currently no Dynamax-capable Ice-types are available.
Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using their evolved forms for maximum power, but less evolved forms may still suffice):
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, a team of three Water and/or Grass types is ideal for flexibility. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for quicker victories.
