Trivia

	Have you seen all the bugs in Tandor? Give me a call if you find any new ones! As of Version 1.2.4, Mega Drilgann does not always have Sand Rush and will instead keep its ability from before it mega evolved. (No listing of claim in list of bugs or patch notes. Testing required to confirm) Click here for more info on known bugs.

• Drilgann is one of two Pokémon that do not change their ability when Mega Evolving, the other being Inflagetah.
• Prior to 1.2.3, Drilgann used Camerupt's cry.
• Mega Drilgann has the highest base Attack in Pokémon Uranium, above Mega Baariette and Mega Gyarados.

Design origin

Drilgann appears to be based off the pig moles (a type of underground livestock) found in Gurren Lagann. The eye area resembles the character Kamina's glasses.

Drilgann's Mega form resembles the Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann, a form of the main robot from Gurren Lagann, namely with the face on the stomach and the drill shoulders. The eye area resembles Simon's star-shaped glasses post-timeskip.

Name Origin

Drilgann is a combination of drill and Lagann, a robot from the anime Gurren Lagann which uses drills for various purposes such as attacking and combining.
