Starting November 15, Pokemon GO players will have the chance to encounter a brand-new Dynamax Pokemon, Drilbur, as part of the Simply Groundbreaking event. This thrilling event, which runs until November 17, introduces a fresh layer of gameplay with Dynamax forms, adding a new level of strategy to Max Battles. Trainers level 31 and up also have the opportunity to earn extra rewards, making this event one of the most engaging to date.

For the first time, Drilbur will be featured in its Dynamax form in Pokemon GO’s Max Battles, allowing trainers to experience this powerful transformation in-game. Dynamax Pokemon, known for their enlarged forms and enhanced abilities, bring a unique twist to Max Battles, and Drilbur is no exception. During this event, Drilbur will appear in one-star Max Battles, giving players the chance to catch it and even find a rare shiny version.

This new event follows the release of various Dynamax Pokemon throughout the season. The Pokemon starts from classic starters like Bulbasaur and Charmander to more recent additions like Gastly and its evolved forms. Dynamax Drilbur’s arrival expands this lineup, and trainers will also be able to Dynamax its evolution, Excadrill, during battles, adding a unique Ground/Steel-type advantage.

Rewards and encounters for Trainers Level 31 and above

In addition to Dynamax Drilbur, trainers will have a two-times increased chance of receiving Candy XL when catching any Pokemon during the event. This special bonus, available to trainers level 31 and up, makes it easier for players to power up their Pokemon for competitive battles.

Players will also encounter a range of Ground-type and other Pokemon in the wild, including Jigglypuff, Diglett, Rhyhorn, Phanpy, and Woobat, many of which will have shiny variants. These increased spawn rates give players more variety and the potential to expand their Pokemon collection with rare finds.

Alongside the introduction of Dynamax Drilbur, new Field Research tasks related to the event will offer additional encounters with Drilbur, along with rewards like Drilbur Candy and Candy XL. These items are essential for evolving Drilbur into Excadrill, helping trainers strengthen their teams and add powerful Pokemon to their rosters.

November’s action-packed schedule for Pokemon GO

The Simply Groundbreaking event is part of a packed November calendar for Pokemon GO. The Harvest Festival event begins on November 7, adding Shiny Smoliv to the game, while Community Day featuring Mankey takes place on November 10. Players can also look forward to the Wild Area events on November 23-24, where the popular Toxtricity will make its debut in both Dynamax and Gigantamax forms. Finally, the end-of-season event, starting on November 27, promises additional surprises as Max Out Season concludes.

With the arrival of Dynamax Drilbur and a series of exciting November events, Pokemon GO is delivering new challenges and rewards to keep players engaged. Trainers eager to catch Dynamax Drilbur and earn valuable rewards should mark their calendars for the Simply Groundbreaking event, as it promises action-packed gameplay and opportunities to strengthen their Pokemon teams.
