Gigalith isn't that great of a Pokemon at all and it's ugly as heck. I don't understand why people like him, as he isn't even used that much and obviously for a very good reason why not.

However, Excadrill within a Sandstorm weather team is amazingly dangerous. He can kick @$$, and I love using him on the sideline with Garchomp and Bronzong!

So Excadrill is a win-win. I'd be surprise if he loses this poll

I voted for Gigalith, although I never used it (nor Excadrill). When I first saw these two, I though Gigalith looked AWESOME. I mean, it's not just a rock, it's a BIG,BAD ROCK. And I personally just don't like Excadrill's design. It's stats are beast, I admit that, but I just like Gigalith better.

This is difficult because I like them both. n_n Though I've actually used an Excadrill before (lol, I remember seeing so much of it in OU). It was pretty good no doubt. I think it'll get my vote just because I've actually used one and not so much Gigalith. But they are both great Pokémon!

Excadrill for sure. It's the Pokemon version of Neo Spacian Grand Mole.

Im currently in love with my sword dance excadrill. I've always been a primarily offensive battler and his stat spread and typing work very well for me. I like gigaliths sprite but excadrill takes it.

Dragonight May 17th, 2012 3:17 PM

I don't like the looks of Gigalith, I mean it's just a rock with eyes...

While Excadrill is a badass steel mole! well that and it has good typing and stats...

Ephemeral Euphoria May 17th, 2012 3:20 PM

Excadrill for me, personal favorite when it comes to design and typing along with the godlike Attack Stat and sweet effects.

Atomic Pirate May 17th, 2012 3:50 PM

I quite like both, but I have to give the nod to Excadrill. It's a mole with a drillbit for a helmet, backed up by a great typing and tremendous stats. Gigalith is just a rock. A big, monstrous rock, but a rock nonetheless. Though I like it, Excadrill trumps it in every way.

Minishcap May 17th, 2012 9:51 PM

You need to trade Boldore to get a Gigalith, I don't like Pokémon you need to trade. Otherwise Gigalith seems interesting, but not enough to be chosen before Excadrill.

It's close in my opinion, but my vote's for Excadrill. :)

echolocated May 18th, 2012 1:31 AM

Excadrill. He looks cooler than Gigalith, has nice moves, and I don't have to trade/have 2 DS's(lol forever alone)to get him :D

Murkrow May 18th, 2012 1:51 AM

Gigalith - The B/W version of Golem (need trade to evolve...), above average stats for a typical rock type

Excadrill - B/W version of Sandslash, but with added metal typing and crazier attack power and stats (sandstorm+sword dance imba).

No contest.

Overal I'd choose Excadrill. It's better competitively, and also has a better design IMO. The only thing better about Gigalith is its color palette.

Perserkatten May 19th, 2012 10:45 PM

I'll vote for Excadrill :)

miltankRancher May 20th, 2012 2:24 AM

excadrill. It's just so badass it is hard to not vote for him.

Plus, I am not in good terms with trade-related evolutions

Ω Ruby and α Sapphire May 20th, 2012 3:14 AM

Excadrill. He is to kool for school. :D

lovebear May 20th, 2012 3:54 AM

Sadly the only time I used the Roggenrola line was during a Nuzlocke run that I couldn't complete. As Boldore she was a real defensive powerhouse.

In my current Black run I have Excadrill in my party and he's just ripping through everything and everyone. Good defensive typing with access to STAB EQ? Got my vote.

Ho-Oh May 20th, 2012 4:05 AM

Sunday night, sooo time to unsticky! Excadrill seems to have won, so wonderful. I'm on some kinda winning streak here with what I'm voting for. :3

curiousnathan May 20th, 2012 4:14 AM

Gigalith and its pre-evolutions drove me nuts with their sturdy ability in White, plus I used an Excadrill in my first run of my White, so Excadrill is the obv choice for me.

Hikamaru May 20th, 2012 5:32 AM

I'm so glad I was on the winning team this time!

Let's hope the next one is even better!
