Drilbur — the Mole Pokémon, a small Ground-type powered-drill mole that looks like a child's drawing of a kitchen power tool given legs. The first stage of one of Gen 5's most genuinely defining competitive lines (Drilbur → Excadrill), and a Pokémon whose entire body design philosophy is 'spin the head and arms, drill straight through the earth'. A pre-evolution to a true competitive flagship, with a thin but meaningful catalog.
Drilbur's Top 10 leads with a strong top two — the 2025 Black Bolt Illustration Rare ($6) and the 2012 McDonald's Happy Meal promo ($4.70) — and everything behind it settles into BW-era and XY/SM/SWSH/SV-era bulk. A clean two-tier structure: modern chase + Happy Meal nostalgia + a long bulk tail.
The chase. 2025 Black Bolt's Illustration Rare gives the little drill-mole his first real chase card — a painterly modern showcase that towers above the rest of the catalog by a wide margin. Where basically all modern Drilbur interest lives.

View full card data →Emerging Powers was the late-2011 first-real-expansion follow-up to Black & White. Drilbur's reprint here is launch-era pack bulk — one of two Drilburs from the same set.
View full card data →Dark Explorers was the May-2012 BW-era set built around the Hydreigon line and the Team Plasma villains. Drilbur got a Common reprint slot — tied for the third-priciest tier with the Emerging Powers reprint.

View full card data →Primal Clash was the February-2015 XY-era set built around Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. Drilbur rode along as a Common reprint — off-theme bulk filler in a set otherwise centered on the Primal weather chase.
