Can Dynamax Drilbur Be Shiny?
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. Using your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploiting type advantages significantly increases your chances of victory and capture.
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 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 optimal results, create a team of three Water and/or Grass-type Pokémon to ensure a strong counter is always available. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for quicker victories.
With these strategies, catching Dynamax Drilbur should be straightforward, even solo.
Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
