As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of Pokémon adventures under my belt, I must say that the latest announcement from Pokémon GO has me thoroughly excited! The debut of Dynamax Drilbur in the Simply Groundbreaking event is just another testament to how Niantic continues to keep the game fresh and engaging for players like myself.


Starting on November 15th and ending on the 17th, Pokemon GO will introduce Dynamax Drilbur in a special event. Back on September 3rd, players of Pokemon GO were excited to start Season 16 as it finally brought Dynamax and Gigantamax Pokemon into the game, ending their long wait for these features.

As a devoted fan, I’ve been thrilled to witness the arrival of Dynamax forms in our game! It all started when a new Special Research was introduced, offering players exciting encounters with Wooloo and Skwovet during Max Raids, or battles as they are more fondly known. A short while later, Niantic graced us with the Dynamax versions of Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle through the GO Big event. To add to the excitement, Dynamax Beldum and its evolutions were made available during the Psychic Spectacular event. Fast forward to October, and we saw the debut of Dynamax forms for Scorbunny, Grookey, Sobble, and Falinks. The Halloween event then shone the spotlight on Dynamax Gastly and its evolutions!

Starting today, another creature is joining the game, as Pokemon GO has announced the introduction of Dynamax Drilbur during their Spectacular Breakthrough event, which takes place from October 15 at 10 am to October 17 at 8 pm local time. During this period, the Ground-type will show up in one-star Max Raids, and trainers may encounter it as a shiny version. Similar to other Pokemons previously added to the game, those who capture Drilbur during Max Raids can Dynamax the Pokemon and its evolution, the Ground/Steel-type Excadrill, also in Max Raids.
