which would you prefer

get somebody with sand stream and use excadrill

if not use haxorus

i like excadrill better. stab earthquake is nice. doesn't have the best defence but steel typing makes him a good switch in

excadrill

haxorus is bad cuz 97base speed

excadrill is pretty much the biggest threat this gen, outrun everything not scarfed in sandstorm (unless it got like 140+base speed, which like 3 pokemon have, and theyre all bad anyway)

haxorus seeing as you need a tyranitar / hippo's to get the sand stream unless you wanna put the move sandstorm on a poke

plus 1 bulk up mach punch from conkeldurr pwns excadrill easy

why would u switch in an excadrill on a conkeldurr?

and any team using excadrill WILL have tyranitar, so thats np

so thats +50% speed right off the bat, 1sword dance on switch, sweep the other team

... maybe a conkeldurr switches into excadrill?
and no i have had 3 battles so far with excadrill by itself no ttar..

and excadrill wont let conkeldurr get a bulk up lol, will either switch or use earthquake/switch expecting a mach punch

/e: having an excadrill w/o perma sandstorm isnt intelligent

ofc there will be ppl w/o perma sandstorm lol, but its dumb not making use of one of the best pokemon's nature in the game, and the thing that makes him into a real killing machine


oh and all the pokemon have counter, so yeah excadrill cant sweep everything, thats why u have 5 other pokes

it all depends on what the rest of the team is like

like i said, all pokemon have counter, eliminate excadrill counter, sweep, gg
