Look, Excadrill is useful outside of sandstorm, it may have low base defenses, but it has monster Hp, which makes up for it. I know what I'm talking about, I do competitive battle, so please don't talk to me like I'm some noob wanting to use it on my non-sandstorm team. |:<
Excadrill = Death if you get it with sandstorm, but otherwise competitively it's not as viable, but still decent. Get Sand Rush. Also, in game it's good.
Wait, are you saying that Excadrill is rubbish, competitive wise? |:< If so, you are so wrong.
