Excadrill @ Steelium Z / Air Balloon
Ability: Sand Rush
Tera: Ice / Electric / Ground
EVs: 252 atk / 4 def / 252 spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Iron Head
- Earthquake
- Rapid Spin / Rock Slide / Tera Blast
Excadrill is one of the best late-game cleaners due to it’s amazing speed under sand, great coverage, and being able to threaten Galarian Slowking, one of the bulkiest walls in the tier. It has multiple opportunities to set up Swords Dance due to it’s Steel-Ground type, taking advantage of it’s great coverage.. Earthquake and Iron Head work as it’s stabs, OHKOing nearly everything without a resistance. Rapid Spin, when paired with Earthquake, severely damages Most Normal resists while increasing it’s speed outside of sand. Rock Slide gives coverage against Pokemon like Tornadus, Zapdos and Gyarados. Tera Ghost gives it immunity to fighting type moves that would usually threaten it out like Body Press Zamazenta. Steelium Z Iron Head kills Physically Defensive Landorus at +1 with Stealth Rock support from Tyranitar. The given EV spread is used to maximize speed and attack. The Jolly Nature is ran to outspeed Great Tusk outside of the sand. Air Balloon gives this Pokemon a temporary immunity to Ground. Tera Ice gives it another way to hit Zapdos and OHKO Gliscor. Tera Electric gives it coverage against water types like Slowbro, Greninja and Alomomola. This Pokemon pairs well with Tyranitar because it can set up sand and Mega-Banette, who is immune to fighting type attacks and can paralyze faster threats for Excadrill to clean late game. This Pokemon is weak to Ting-Lu, who can take a +2 Earthquake and retaliate for the OHKO, so Pokemon that can break through it’s massive bulk, like Calm Mind Keldeo and Mega-Lopunny are great partners.
