Yes, a Shiny Dynamax Drilbur can be encountered after winning a Max Raid Battle. This makes it a highly sought-after prize for dedicated collectors.

Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Raids

Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Raid, making solo completion achievable. However, teaming up with friends significantly simplifies the battle.

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 top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using evolved forms for maximum power, but less evolved versions may still suffice):

Pokemon	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, create a team of three Water and/or Grass types to ensure a strong counter is always available. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for quick victories.

With these strategies, catching Dynamax Drilbur should be straightforward, even solo.

Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
