Yes, Shiny Dynamax Drilbur is a possibility! This makes catching it an even more exciting challenge for dedicated trainers.

Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Max Raids

Dynamax Drilbur Max Raids are 1-star difficulty. Unlike tougher raids featuring Pokémon like Falinks and Gigantax, soloing this raid is achievable. However, teaming up with friends will significantly increase your success rate.

Recommended Counters

Drilbur is a Ground-type Pokémon, making Grass and Water-type Pokémon effective counters. While Ground is also weak to Ice, no currently available Dynamax Pokémon are Ice-type.

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