    It's hard to see why, but I have to go with Excadrill.

    He just seems more my type. I never really liked Sandshrew or Sandslash that much.

    I like Excadrill. It is really cool. I like how it is a mole. I like its types. It looks really cool too.

    Oh my god, Excadrill takes this in a landslide! If I'm ever faced with something I can't beat easily, my first instinct is always: 'Excadrill: Earthquake the crap out of that [INSERT POKEMON HERE]'. So strong, kinda quick, looks ace: the whole package. It's slowly evolving into one of my favourite Pokemon as well. (See what I did there with the punnage?)

    Excadrill, it's one of my favorite pokemon and is one of the most reliable pokemon to help me in any situation, other than Nidoking, Walrein, Staraptor, and Dragonite of course.

    I used to adore Sandslash, which is probably why I fell in love with Excadrill when I first saw it. Its just a more badass Sandslash. Plus its super powerful and works wonders on my team. So, alas, I vote Excadrill, but only because its Sandslash 2.0 ;)

    I'm going with Excadrill for a few reasons. First, it's Ground AND Steel, which makes it tough against a lot of types. Second, you see Sandshrew a lot while you rarely see Drilbur. It's the whole rare factor. Third, if trained right, an Excadrill can be devastating. I haven't really used a Sandslash in battle yet. I preferred using a Marowak than a Sandslash.

    My last reason, it was on my main Pokemon team on White when I kicked Team Plasma's butt.

    I would personally prefer a sandslash but I agree because excadrill is steel and ground he is good against water becuase of the steel and good agianst fire because of the ground and devestating agianst electric. He can also learn his fair share of tms some dark and ghost to fighting and bug! Which makes excadrill a formidable opponet when faced. Also his HP and attack stats are amazing along with speed which makes sandslash inferior.

    Sandslash was always one of my favourite pokemon, so it wins this handsdown. Its anime voice is epic and its arsenal of moves is amazing.

    In a manner of design, neglecting stat&type, Sandslash hands down. Excadrill actually have potential to win my heart, if it not for its oversized drill on its head. Well, is it really necessary to put one more drill on the top of its head? That just ruin the whole thing for me.
