Pokemon GO Shiny Drilbur is a wild spawn, but there are low chances for you to encounter one randomly. But you can use the boosted Drilbur wild spawn rate during events like Simply Groundbreaking to secure a Shiny encounter. The more Drilbur you encounter, the faster you might match its Shiny odds.
There are multiple in-game items that can increase the wild Drilbur spawn rate. Using the Pokemon GO Lure Module, Incense, and the Weather Boost effect during featured events can maximize wild Drilbur spawn.
- Drilbur’s Weather Boost activates in sunny weather areas.
- Look for a PokeStop in sunny weather.
- Then, attach a Lure Module to that PokeStop.
- Once done, activate a Pokemon GO Incense and walk around the Lure Module’s area of effect.
Following these steps can stack the items’ effects upon the already increased Drilbur’s spawn rate during featured events.
The strategy helps to maximize wild Drilbur spawns, which might aid in matching its Shiny spawn odds.
