In-Depth Analysis
Drilbur's 328 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Attack (85) carries most matchups, but a low Special Attack stat of 30 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Ground combination gives Drilbur 2 resistances, 1 immunity, and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 5 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 120 puts Drilbur in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
