Drilbur is a Ground-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Mole Pokemon (Dex #063). Found in the Withered Wasteland, Drilbur teaches Ditto the Rototiller transformation and carries the Search specialty. Drilbur is the gateway to the game's entire farming system, as Rototiller is required to till soil and plant seeds.
Drilbur lives in the Fresh Veggie Field habitat. This habitat requires a significant amount of planted crops:
Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Vegetable Field (any crop type) | 8 | Any combination of bean, tomato, or wheat fields |
The Fresh Veggie Field is a late-build habitat since you need the Rototiller move to create vegetable fields in the first place. Drilbur's initial encounter happens through a story interaction rather than a habitat build. Excadrill also appears in the Fresh Veggie Field habitat.
Drilbur is found in the eastern area of Withered Wasteland, just east of the Pokemon Center. You will encounter Drilbur during normal story progression as it asks for help watering dry soil.
Drilbur's befriending is tied to the early Withered Wasteland story. When you find Drilbur in the eastern area, it asks you to help water the dry soil using Water Gun. After watering the parched ground, Drilbur teaches you the Rototiller move and gives you 5 Bean Seeds to get started with farming.
Drilbur teaches Ditto the Rototiller transformation. Rototiller has two primary functions:
Ability | Description |
|---|---|
Tilling soil | Creates crop fields on grass or dirt tiles where seeds can be planted. |
Moving plants | Lets you uproot and relocate flower beds, crops, and other plantable items to new positions. |
Rototiller is essential for the entire farming and crop system. Without it, you cannot plant any seeds or create vegetable fields for habitats.
Drilbur has the Search specialty. Pokemon with this specialty help you find buried items while using the Dowsing Machine. Having Drilbur in your party or near your active area increases the chance of locating hidden items underground.

Drilbur is one of the first Pokemon you should befriend. Without Rototiller, you cannot access the farming system at all.
The 5 Bean Seeds Drilbur gives you are your first seeds. Plant them immediately to start building up your crop supply.
Drilbur's Search specialty is especially useful in areas with many buried items, such as Rocky Ridges and Sparkling Skylands.
Furnish Drilbur's habitat with dark-themed and dirt-covered items to boost its Comfort Level.
