More Facts About Excadrill Movesets

• Metal Claw, Mud Shot, and Mud-Slap are the three intriguing quick-move options available to Excadrill. According to statistics, it could appear that Metal Claw would be the best of these because it has a respectable energy gain and damage output.
• However, Excadrill does not benefit from Ground-type coverage as much as a steel-type covering. Iron Head, Excadrill’s Steel-type charge move in Raids, deals a meager 60 damage while using up half the energy bar. 
• It could appear that a Mud slap is the best course of action. When used, Mud-Slap deals 18 damage, which is incredible damage output.
• Excadrill doesn’t want to use Iron Head as a charge move as it deals pitifully little damage. Rock Slide, Earthquake, and Drill Run are the only remaining options available to Excadrill.
• Out of these options, Excadrill will want to run Rock Slide and one of the STAB Ground-type attacks. Unbelievably, Rock Slide Provides Excadrill with significantly more coverage than Iron Head. 
• Drill Run should be utilized instead of Earthquake for the Ground-type move due to Drill Run’s reduced energy cost.

Conclusion

From all these movesets, make sure your Excadrill is equipped with the most effective moveset for these encounters. It needs to master the mud-shot maneuver before incorporating the drill run and rock slide into its charge moves. All movesets have their own capabilities, but selecting the best moveset here is our main task.
