Drilbur is a Ground-type Pokémon, making Grass and Water-type Pokémon effective counters. While Ground types are weak to Ice, currently no Dynamax-capable Ice-types are available in Pokémon GO.
Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using their evolved forms for maximum power, though less evolved versions 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 Max Battles, 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 quicker victories.
With these strategies, catching Dynamax Drilbur should be a manageable task, even for solo players.
