Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles
As a 1-star Max Battle, Dynamax Drilbur is manageable solo. However, teaming up with friends simplifies the encounter. Remember to utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages for a quicker victory.
Recommended Counters for Dynamax Drilbur
Drilbur's Ground typing makes it vulnerable to Grass and Water-type attacks. While Ice-type Pokémon are also effective, the lack of Dynamax-capable Ice-types currently limits this option.
Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon suggestions (using their evolved forms for maximum effectiveness):
| 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 for any situation. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for a faster victory.
Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
