What are the good rapid spinners available in this new meta?
I know excadrill is top tier but I want to know if the others are viable :D
I wanted to try a 252hp/252spa/6spd assault vest modest blastoise with surf/ice beam/rapidspin/dark pulse -> it seem to counter spin blockers with dark pulse kinda like excadrill with shadow claw
this blastoise seems like a good pokemon to set up my mega charizard X

I personally use an impish himontop with intimidate, not a fan of excadrill but I run him as a spinner some times

My next spinner is going to be a blastoise though.. I'd prolly run the typical defensive set with scald dragon tail toxic and rapid spin.
That set you posted for blastoise is more of an offensive set and starmie is probably the best offensive rapid spinner so I see no reason of running an offensive blastoise set with AV which seems like a waste

ur blastoise set sounds good on a stall team and make force switches but mine is centered more around killing the spin blocker

you won't be killing spin blockers with regular blastoise. Blastoise is simply a bulky rapid spinner unless you mega evolve it. You said it yourself, other pokemon can kill spin blockers.

I feel like you would like Starmie though, it has access to everything you wanted your blastoise to do :D You trade bulk for speed which is pretty fair
