Recommended Counters for Dynamax Drilbur
Drilbur's Ground-type weakness makes Grass and Water-type Pokémon ideal counters. Ice-types are also effective, but the lack of currently available Dynamax Ice-types limits their use in Max Battles.
Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using their evolved forms for optimal 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 Dynamax Pokémon to ensure a strong counter is always available. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for quick victories.
