While its appearance frequency will decrease after the event, it's expected to remain available in Max Raids at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.
Shiny Dynamax Drilbur
Yes! A Shiny Dynamax Drilbur can be encountered after winning a Max Raid Battle, making it a highly sought-after prize.
Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Max Raids
Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Raid, making solo completion achievable. However, teaming up with friends simplifies the battle considerably. For optimal success, utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages.
Recommended Counters
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 evolved forms for maximum power, though less evolved versions may still suffice):
| 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 Raids, build a team of three Water and/or Grass types for optimal coverage. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for quicker victories.
Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
