Excitement is building in the world of *Pokemon GO* as new Dynamax Pokemon continue to make their way into the game, with the latest addition being the formidable Dynamax Drilbur. But how can you add this powerful creature to your collection? Let's dive into the details.
Dynamax Drilbur Debut in Pokemon GO
Dynamax Drilbur made its grand entrance into *Pokemon GO* at 10 AM local time on Friday, November 15, 2024. During the Simply Groundbreaking event, which runs from November 15 through to November 17 at 8 PM local time, Dynamax Drilbur will appear more frequently in Max Battles. This event is your golden window to encounter this new addition. After the event concludes, while less frequent, Dynamax Drilbur will still be available in Max Battles, integrating into the regular rotation at Power Spots and during Max Mondays, much like previous Dynamax debuts.

Yes, it is indeed possible to encounter a Shiny Drilbur after triumphing in a Max Battle. This unique opportunity to catch a Shiny, Dynamax-capable Drilbur adds an extra layer of excitement for dedicated collectors aiming to catch 'em all.
Can You Solo Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles in Pokemon GO?
Dynamax Drilbur features in a 1-star Max Battle, making it more manageable than some of the tougher challenges like Falinks and Gigantax battles. You can certainly tackle it solo, but teaming up with friends can make the battle even smoother. To maximize your chances of victory, bring your strongest Dynamax Pokemon and leverage type advantages for a swift and successful encounter with 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 to the battle. While Ice types are also effective against Ground types, they are not yet available for Dynamaxing in *Pokemon GO*, so they won't be an option for these battles.
| 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 build a team comprising these Water and Grass types, allowing you to swap in a strong Pokemon if Dynamax Drilbur takes one down. Remember to level up your Max Moves and utilize these powerful options once you've Dynamaxed your Pokemon to ensure a quick victory.
With these strategies and tips, you'll be well-equipped to catch Dynamax Drilbur, even as a solo player.
*Pokemon GO is available to play now* on mobile devices.
