Shiny Dynamax Drilbur

Yes, a Shiny Dynamax Drilbur can be encountered after a successful Max Raid battle, making it a highly sought-after prize.

Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Raids

Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Raid, making solo completion achievable. However, teaming up with friends significantly increases your chances of success. Using your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploiting type advantages is crucial.

Recommended Counters

Drilbur is a Ground-type Pokémon, making Grass and Water-type Pokémon ideal counters. While Ground is also weak to Ice, currently no Dynamax-capable Ice-types are available.

Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using their evolved forms for maximum power, but less evolved forms may still suffice):

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.
