Excadrill

Excadrill is an incredibly versatile Pokemon, with a typing laden with useful resistances and immunities to pivot around and check various Electric- and Fairy-types, great Attack stat and STAB combination to hit large swaths of the tier and consistently clean up games, and a utility movepool that allows it to play both sides of the entry hazard game. It works great with fabled partner Tyranitar or other alternative sand setters like Hippowdon, acting as the star player of teams within the consistent sand archetype. It makes great use of Z-Moves to overcome would-be checks like Landorus-T, Rotom-W, and Zapdos, of course depending on the choice of Z-Crystal. Excadrill is far from limited to just sand teams, as it can put in a good shift as a specially defensive pivot on bulkier teams and even a dedicated lead, both making use of Excadrill's coveted combination of Stealth Rock + Rapid Spin and helpful ability in Mold Breaker. However, Excadrill's offensive presence can often be two-dimensional, with Skarmory, Rotom-W, and Zapdos acting as consistent annoyances to it outside of its less consistent lure Z-Moves. Excadrill has plenty to worry about in terms of faster attackers, as it has overall unimpressive bulk, and sand can't always be up to patch its middling Speed. Additionally, Excadrill struggles in longer games against opposing hazard setters due to its lack of reliable recovery.
