Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Max Raids

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

For optimal success, utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages.

Recommended Counters

Drilbur's Ground-type weakness makes Grass and Water-type Pokémon ideal counters. While Ice-type Pokémon are also effective, the lack of currently available Dynamax Ice-types limits their use in Max Raids.

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