Break new ground with this latest Pokémon GO event.
The Simply Groundbreaking event in Pokémon GO will see the debut of Dynamax Drilbur, as well as give Trainers a great chance to stock up on all important XL candy for the featured Pokémon.
The Simply Groundbreaking event runs from Friday, November 15, at 10:00 a.m. to Sunday, August 02, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. local time.
Dynamax Drilbur debuts into Pokémon GO
The Simply Groundbreaking event will see Dynamax Drilbur debut into Pokémon GO. This seems like a pretty average Pokémon debut. However, don’t overlook it. It is incredibly important that you try and arm yourself with some good Dynamax Drilburs.
This is because Dynamax Drilbur can evolve into Excadrill, a Ground and Steel-type Pokémon that is a solid attacker in those categories. We don’t yet have a Ground-type Dynamax Pokémon, and we are getting one just in time.
Later in November,Gigantamax Toxtricity will debut into Pokémon GOduring theGO Wild Area event.Toxtricity has a double weakness to Ground-type attacks. That means having plenty of Excadrills amongst your team will make this significantly easier to take down. It also has a weakness to Psychic-types, so keep hunting those Beldum too!
