Trivia

• Drilbur was revealed on Oha Suta on June 27, 2010.
• Drilbur is the only pure Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Origin

It is based on a mole. The shape of its arms could come from shovels.

Name origin

Drilbur seems to be a combination of "drill" and "burrow". Mogurew is likely a combination of 土竜 mogura, mole, and screw; also, ryu is an alternate reading of 竜, one of the two kanji that form mogura.
