Monotype Excadrill (Steel)

[Rotten]

Excadrill @ Shed Shell
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Rock Blast
- Rapid Spin

Thanks to its stellar offensive typing and valuable Electric immunity, this mole serves as a potent sweeper for Steel teams. Its Ground typing is particularly very useful against Electric teams, scaring away threats like Tapu Koko, Zeraora, and Rotom-W. Rock Blast hits Flying-types such as Mantine and Zapdos and bypasses Substitute from the likes of Kyurem and Galarian Moltres. Rapid Spin is used to gain Speed boosts while also acting as emergency entry hazard removal. Shed Shell prevents Excadrill from being trapped by Air Balloon + Magnet Rise Magnezone. Heatran is a crucial teammate to absorb Fire attacks for Excadrill and serve as a revenge killer with Choice Scarf. Corviknight, Celesteela, and Skarmory are useful for their Ground immunities, while Aegislash can switch into Fighting-type attacks and spread status with Toxic. Ferrothorn is helpful to take on Water-types like Gastrodon, Slowbro, and Swampert and set Spikes. Melmetal is an amazing offensive partner that weakens shared checks like Landorus-T and Hippowdon, letting Excadrill shine in battle.

Thanks to its stellar offensive typing and valuable Electric immunity, this mole serves as a potent sweeper for Steel teams. Its Ground typing is particularly very useful against Electric teams, scaring away threats like Tapu Koko, Zeraora, and Rotom-W while denting Zapdos with Rock Blast. Rock Blast hits Flying-types such as Mantine and Zapdos, while breaking Substitute from the likes of Kyurem and Moltres [Reword the second half of this sentence to emphasize that Rock Blast is used to better deal with Substitute users like Kyurem and Moltres-G, currently it just says Rock Blast breaks Substitute which Rock Slide does too.]. Rapid Spin is used to gain Speed boosts, while also acting as emergency entry hazard removal. Shed Shell prevents Excadrill from being trapped and KOed by Air Balloon + Magnet Rise Magnezone [Magnet Rise is important, main reason Shed Shell is used.]. Heatran is a crucial teammate to absorb Fire attacks for Excadrill, while taking the role of a revenge killer with Choice Scarf. Corviknight, Celesteela, and Skarmory are also useful for their Ground immunities, while Aegislash can switch into Fighting attacks and spread status with Toxic. Ferrothorn is also helpful to take on Water-types like Gastrodon, Slowbro, and Swampert and set Spikes. Finally, Klefki is a good teammate on hyper offense to set dual screens and Spikes, giving Excadrill more opportunities to shine in battle. [Screens Steel isn't relevant in the current metagame, doesn't need to be mentioned.]
* Add a mention about Melmetal if you can fit it with the character limit otherwise you can leave it out

QC 1/1
