Dynamax Drilbur Max Battle Guide

Drilbur Dynamax

Dynamax Drilbur is a Tier 1 Max Battle in Pokémon GO. It will cost 250 Max Particles to participate in this Max Battle, which will only be consumed if you defeat Dynamax Drilbur successfully. Dynamax Drilbur can be shiny from Max Battles.

Being a Ground type, it is weak to the Water, Grass, and Ice types. Drilbur can be caught with the following CP values:

• 732 – 786 CP at Level 20, no weather boost

Being a Tier 1 Max Battle, it can be easily soloed without too much effort. That said, we recommend using Gigantamax Venusaur or Gigantamax Blastoise for super-effective damage. Additionally, the more accessible top counters of Dynamax Blastoise, Dynamax Inteleon, Dynamax Venusaur or Dynamax Rillaboom are perfect too!

Max Battle Information

Max Battles can be participated in in-person only, at Power Spots, which are easily identified on the map by the purple marking and large ‘X’ above them.

You can challenge Max Battles with up to 4 people, including yourself. Each person can bring up to 3 Dynamax Pokémon in their team, but participation is possible with just one Dynamax Pokémon.

Only Dynamax Pokémon can participate in this Max Battle. Existing Pokemon are not eligible.

Max Battles are turn based, differing from both raiding and GO Battle League. More strategy will need to be implemented for harder Max Bosses.

In a Max Battle, tap the screen to use Fast Attacks, and build up energy to use Charged Attacks as usual. Attacking will also fill up the Max Meter at the top of the screen.

When three lines appear above a Pokemon’s head, it means it is being targeted by the Max Battle Boss. You can avoid this by swiping to Dynamax, you need to fill up the Max Meter at the top of the screen to its maximum, and the meter fills up by swiping towards an attack or the Max Charge (purple button) that appears from time to time.

In battle you will see a Max Meter. When it reaches its maximum, your Pokémon will automatically Dynamax your Pokémon. Keep an eye on the meter! Once it’s full, your Pokémon will Dynamax for 3 turns!

Once Dynamaxed you will be given the option to use any of your unlocked Max Moves, if battling harder difficulty bosses as a group, plan your use of your attack, Shield and Spirit moves together.

If you spot energy icons on the battlefield, swipe to collect them and fill up your meter even faster.

You can Dynamax more than once in a Max Battle, and will automatically Dynamax once your Max Meter refills.

If all of your Pokémon faint while battling a three-star or higher Power Spot Boss, you can still help your allies by cheering for your them so that their meters fill faster.
