OU Z-Giga Impact Excadrill (OU)

Excadrill @ Normalium Z
Ability: Sand Rush
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Giga Impact
- Swords Dance

Excadrill has recently suffered from a rise in usage of hard counters to its typical Steelium Z set such as Rotom-W, Zapdos, and Pelipper. To combat this, a set dropping Rapid Spin and Steelium Z in favor of Giga Impact and Normalium Z has been popularized, as it breaks though these counters with a powerful Breakneck Blitz after a Swords Dance. To properly make use of the set, sand support is required; ergo, Tyranitar and Hippowdon are stellar teammates, as they can set sand and help to facilitate a sweep for Excadrill with Stealth Rock. Additionally, Celesteela is a big issue for this set and sand teams in general, so Pokemon like Heatran, Reuniclus, and Zapdos should be used to take advantage of Excadrill inviting it in.

Ah, Excadrill. Does anyone miss that treacherous little mole? Hard no. Recently, it has suffered from a rise in usage of hard counters to the typical Steelium Z set in Rotom-W, Zapdos, and Pelipper. To combat this, a set dropping Rapid Spin and Steelium Z in favour of Giga Impact and Normalium Z has been popularised as it break though these counters with a powerful Breakneck Blitz after a Swords Dance. To properly make use of the set, Sand support is required, ergo Tyranitar and Hippowdon are stellar teammates as they set Sand and can also help to facilitate a sweep for Excadrill with Stealth Rock. Additionally, Celesteela is a big issue for this set and sand teams in general, so a Pokemon to take advantage of it like Heatran, Reuniclus, or Zapdos. So what?
1/1 once you've implemented this.

To combat this, a set dropping Rapid Spin and Steelium Z in favour favor of Giga Impact and Normalium Z has been popularised popularized, (AC) as it breaks though these counters with a powerful Breakneck Blitz after a Swords Dance. To properly make use of the set, Sand sand support is required, (RC) ergo; (AS) therefore, (AC) (replacing therefore with your original ergo is optional but keep the semicolon if you do) Tyranitar and Hippowdon are stellar teammates, (AC) as they can set Sand sand and can also help to facilitate a sweep for Excadrill with Stealth Rock. Additionally, Celesteela is a big issue for this set and sand teams in general, so Pokemon like Heatran, Reuniclus, or and Zapdos should be used to take advantage of Excadrill inviting it in.
