==Biology==
===Physiology===
Drilbur is a mole-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has a short, wide body with two small, ovoid feet with three toes each. Its body is mostly black, but has a jagged, navy blue stripe that runs diagonally around its torso from its left shoulder. It is connected at the bottom to another stripe, which extends around the base of its torso. It has a white face with a long snout, tipped by its pink nose. Its eyes are at the base of its nose on either side. Drilbur's arms are wide and thin with a blue spot on its palms. It lacks traditional hands, as its arms form directly into its three, extremely large claws. It has a very small, stubby tail.
Drilbur is a mole-like Pokémon. It has a black body with blue-gray streaks along with a white snout with a pink nose and white claws which, when compared, are about the size of its head. These claws are shovel like, and have three separate sections. Its eyes have very small black irises. It has small feet with three toes each.


====Gender differences====
Drilbur can straighten its body and align its claws forward, allowing it to spin like a drill and dig through the ground. It can dig at speeds of up to 30&nbsp;mph (50&nbsp;km/h). A Drilbur is fast enough to make a running car race with it. As seen in both [[PS481|the manga]] and [[BW100|the anime]], Drilbur has no issues being around humans and can be very friendly. However, many farmers dislike Drilbur because it tends to destroy their vegetable crops.
None.


===Special abilities===
===Evolution===
Drilbur are very skilled diggers, said to travel around {{tt|30 mph|48 kph}} underground. They can tunnel through soil by putting both claws together and rotating at high speed.
Drilbur evolves into {{p|Excadrill}}.

Drilbur (Japanese: モグリュー Mogurew) is a Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves into Excadrill starting at level 31.

Biology

Drilbur is a mole-like Pokémon that has a short, wide body with two small, ovoid feet with three toes each. Its body is mostly black, but has a jagged, navy blue stripe that runs diagonally around its torso from its left shoulder. It is connected at the bottom to another stripe, which extends around the base of its torso. It has a white face with a long snout, tipped by its pink nose. Its eyes are at the base of its nose on either side. Drilbur's arms are wide and thin with a blue spot on its palms. It lacks traditional hands, as its arms form directly into its three, extremely large claws. It has a very small, stubby tail.

Drilbur can straighten its body and align its claws forward, allowing it to spin like a drill and dig through the ground. It can dig at speeds of up to 30 mph (50 km/h). A Drilbur is fast enough to make a running car race with it. As seen in both the manga and the anime, Drilbur has no issues being around humans and can be very friendly. However, many farmers dislike Drilbur because it tends to destroy their vegetable crops.

Evolution

Drilbur evolves into Excadrill.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)
