at first i thought super runner and mystery man lol
What should I destroy with MM in a video game? Lulz, but since he was talking about soft resetting earlier, it's probably Soft Reset and Masuda Method, where you breed with a different language poke to increase the chance of getting a shiny by 4x when hatching.

keep accelgor. Boot excadrill unless yours have sand rush and you have hippowdon/trianiter.
Erm... No. Excadrill is a pretty good tank. Keep him. I'd boot Thunderus.

Excadrill has lots of weakness. Plus it's defence is 60 and sp.def is 65 whitch is very low.

It's most certainly not a tank but can be a good sweeper with a nature that helps speed and good ev training.

It's amazing in a sand storm team because of sand rush.
That's what I meant. By tank, I normally mean KO or get KOed. Conventional tanks, I normally use as walls.

A tank is a slow moving pokemon with massive attack and great defence and/or Sp. Def, so it outlasts its opponents and inflicts massive damage. Examples are tyranitar and rhyperior (gnarly pokemon by the way Wink).

Ok but anyways, excadrill is too slow without sand rush and pokemon with sand stream.
Does anyone have these dw female pokemon-
poliwag(bold nature is most prefered.) vulpix(timd is mostly perfered.) and skamony(jolly nature is prefered.)

it dont have much of that i just 1 hit ko one with earth power.excadrill i mean.
Excadrill is a sweeper, not a tank. Uncertain
Sweepers are quick and powerful. They usually have poor defence. Life Orb is often the item of choice, because they won't be around long to take hits anyway, and lowered health doesn't mean much cos they're often 1hit ko'd at 100%.
Excadrill is amazing, in sandstorm (with Sand Rush) it outspeeds almost everything, and if you can get a swords dance in (Air Balloon), you're pretty much set to 1 hit everything with EQ/Rock Slide/Return (the latter can be swapped for X-Scissor or Rapid Spin, if you need a spinner).

Of course it can be 1HKO'd easily by a super effective move, but if they've got an air balloon, Earth Power wouldn't hit, they'd get a swords dance in or whatever, and proceed to beat the bejeezus out of you.

my nidoking with about 86 defence survived from a rockslide from a excadril holding a life orb in a sandstorm.
I'm kinda new when it comes to 6 on 6 so I need as much help as i can get.

Accelgor(Lead)- focus sash(modest/timd) sticky hold
Ev's- 4 hp/252 sp.att/252 speed
Me first
spikes
yawn
bug buzz
A pretty good lead. It's item cannot be taken away. that what makes it a great lead. Also if the oppenet knows stealth rock, I can use me first to do it as well.

Nidoking(revange killer)-Choice scraft(modest) sheer force
Ev's- 4 hp/ 252 sp.att/ 252 speed
earth power
thunder bolt
fire blast
ice beam
This pokemon is a really good revange killer with sheer force and a choice scraft and it's wide range of attacks. Reason why I use fireblast is because it's accurcy is 85 not 70(it's really useful)

Milotic(wall)- Leftovers(bold) mavel scale
Ev's 252 hp/ 152 defence/ 148 sp.def
dragon tail
ice beam
scald
recover
A reallly good wall, and mavel scale makes it even better! Scald is to try and burn the oppenet. Dragon tail is if it gets out of hand. recover is to heal it self. Ice beam is for coverage.

Ferroseed(wall)-big roots(sassy) iron barbs
Ev's 252 hp/148 defence/152 sp.def
leech seed
spikes
gryo ball
power wip
Another great pokemon. It surports milotic and milotic surports it! Spikes is if the oppenet got rid of spikes before. The rest is explainable.

Espeon(reflect/light screen)- leftovers(timd) sychornise
reflect
light screen
morning sun
psyshock
I would use magic bounce instead of sychornise but I need an female dw evee.

Dragonite(bulky dragon dancer)- leftovers(adamant) inner focus
Ev's 252 hp/ 148 defence/ 152 sp.def
roost
fire punch
dragon dance
outrage/dragon claw
I'm not sure if I should use dragon claw or outrage on this.

I got another team I plan to use more but I don't want anyone to know and I know that it's perfect enough.

Earthquake is super effective against Nido, and excadrill should always have a swords dance under it's belt, still, here's how it'd go, unless nido was holding an air balloon (unlikely), or excadrill switches into nido (unless your opponent is an idiot, this shouldn't happen)
1: Nido Switches in
Excadrill used Rock Slide
Nido survives
2: Excadrill uses Earthquake,
Nidoking faints.

1. Both are out.
Excadrill outspeeds, uses Earthquake
Nidoking Faints.

th!nk is kinda right there. That person must of press rock slide instead of earthquake. Rock is inafective to poison types and nidoking is part poison.
Maybe later, but WHY THE HELL did your opponent use Rock Slide, of all things? Uncertain

And Pikachu0909, it's ground that rock is NVE against. Still, yeah, they must have missed the button, Excadrill should murder Nido with no trouble.

Yeah my mistake. I really need to impove my team(I just started doing 6 on 6.). It's on page 116.
Okay, if it's NVE, then of course Nidoking survives. Take a nice Bulldoze to it, see how that works for ya. To be fair, Excadrill is used for one reason: Steel-type Sweeper besides Metagross. (The fact that it beats Metagross quite easily helps. A lot.) Unfortunately, I have seen many people stop running Excadrill for one pathetic reason. Me and my FEAR Rattata. I always pack one, in case I play a hacker, but most people I battle only hack. Prime Example. One guy catches a bunch of LV. 99s at the beginnig, owns the game... Then gets wiped by my Adamant, Max Attack EV-trained, 31 Attack-IV, Choice Banded Dragonite, and a few nice, big Dragon Rushes. Who, by the way, is only Level 72. He gets mad, and goes to catch more level 99s. I say "Just EV train, or at least look at the nature!" He laughs, and says "Nobody cares about that ED stuff! It's all level. A Level 100 Magikarp can beat a level 50 Machoke because it's a higher level!." I think "Wow. What a waste of a Gyarados. I could have EV trained on that!" He comes back with Isshu/Unova Level 99s, I wipe him with well-trained level 50-70s. Repeat, get wiped, repeat. This is why people don't run Excadrill Sweeper often if they don't often play competitively/hack. Thay assume level is everything, and want to see three digits as soon as possible. For instance-My little Brother's Reshiram is level 100. Wanna know it's Sp. ATK? 255. That's it. My Dragonite had more attack at level 60. Heck, my Solosis has more SP. ATK. Solosis is only level 78, and isn't evolved. (Novelty. Ownage by a baby erm...cell thing. It's just funny, only reasin I haven't evelved it.) In all, check your stats, kids! EV train, examine IVs, and NEVER just "take a nature" if you battle competitively. Or else your Excadrill will undoubtably suck. Hard.
