MetaMons competitive notes

Mega Excadrill is a ground/steel-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 608 BST it is a legendary-grade total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 103) and a physical attacking profile. Its Piercing Drill ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Mega Excadrill. Build around what Mega Excadrill actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
