Solo Max Battles?

Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Battle, making solo completion achievable. However, teaming up with friends can significantly simplify the process. Remember to utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages for a quicker victory.

Suggested 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.
