You can encounter a Pokemon GO Shiny Drilbur in the wild, completing Research tasks, and winning Drilbur Max Battles. But there are no guaranteed Shiny spawns in the game; the only way to get one is by matching the monster’s Shiny odds. You must continuously encounter Drilbur to increase your chances of a Shiny Drilbur spawning.

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Drilbur In The Wild

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.
