Is Excadrill good in Standard?
Its hardest-hitting attack is Maximum Drilling on Mega Excadrill ex (Pitch Black), doing 200+ for 3 Energy. The bulkiest version is Mega Excadrill ex with 340 HP, but it gives up 3 Prize cards when Knocked Out. Watch out for Fire and Grass attackers — that's its weakness.
