08 //Pokédex entries
Known as the Drill King, this Pokémon can tunnel through the terrain at speeds of over 90 mph.
It’s not uncommon for tunnels that appear to have formed naturally to actually be a result of Excadrill’s rampant digging.
Forming a drill with its steel claws and head, it can bore through a steel plate, no matter how thick it is.
More than 300 feet below the surface, they build mazelike nests. Their activity can be destructive to subway tunnels.
It can help in tunnel construction. Its drill has evolved into steel strong enough to bore through iron plates.
