Yes, you can encounter a Shiny Drilbur after triumphing in a Max Battle. With the possibility of both Shiny and Dynamax forms, catching one will be a rare and exciting achievement for any dedicated trainer.
Can You Solo Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles in Pokemon GO?
Dynamax Drilbur is categorized as a 1-star Max Battle, making it significantly easier to tackle than some of the more formidable battles like those against Falinks or Gigantax. You can solo these battles without much trouble, but teaming up with friends can make the victory even smoother. To maximize your chances, bring your strongest Dynamax Pokemon and exploit type advantages to secure the win and catch your Dynamax Drilbur.
Suggested Counters for Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles
As Drilbur is a Ground type, bringing Grass or Water type Pokemon to the battle is key. While Ice types are also effective against Ground, no Ice types can currently Dynamax, so they're not an option for Max Battles. Here are some top picks to ensure you come out on top:
Pokemon | Suggested Moveset |
---|---|
![]() | Water Gun Hydro Cannon |
![]() | Vine Whip Frenzy Plant |
![]() | Razor Leaf Grass Knot |
![]() | Water Gun Surf |
You can assemble a team of three Pokemon for Max Battles. Ideally, your team should consist of these Water and Grass types, allowing you to switch in another strong contender if one falls. Don't forget to level up your Max Moves and utilize these powerful options after Dynamaxing to swiftly defeat Dynamax Drilbur.
Armed with these strategies, you'll be well-equipped to catch Dynamax Drilbur, even as a solo player. Dive into the world of *Pokemon GO* and start your hunt today!
