Dynamax Drilbur arrived in Pokémon GO at 10 AM local time on Friday, November 15, 2024. It appeared with increased frequency in Max Battles during the Simply Groundbreaking event (November 15th - November 17th, 8 PM local time).

Soloing 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 and movesets:
| 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 Max Battles, a team of three Water/Grass types provides flexibility. Remember to maximize Max Move levels for quicker victories.
