Biology
Physiology
Excadrill is a dark-colored, bipedal mole-like Pokémon. It has a tapered, pink-tipped snout and a white face. It has large, gray-colored, jagged features on its head and forelimbs, which may be described as looking like axes. Excadrill sports red diamond patterning on the side of its head, forelimbs, and legs, and larger, stripe-like patterns of red on its underside. It has folds on the back of its neck, resembling a hood.
Gender differences
None.

It has the ability to combine its "shovels" into a drill shape to dig through the earth. Its drills are powerful enough to drill through iron plates.
Behavior
Excadrill create maze-like burrows 100 meters underground and also open holes in subway tunnels. It puts a lot of effort into constructing its tunnels. As seen in Baffling the Bouffalant!, Excadrill tend to drop down on all fours to eat comfortably.

Major appearances
Excadrill debuted in The Bloom Is on Axew! under the ownership of Iris. It is a powerful Pokémon. When it first appeared, Excadrill was disobedient. However, in Iris and Excadrill Against the Dragon Buster!, the cause of the disobedience was discovered. When Iris battled Drayden with Excadrill, it was defeated by his Haxorus. The major loss changed him from an obedient and happy Pokémon to a disobedient one. After some training with Iris, Excadrill became obedient once again.
Other
An Excadrill appeared in Battling the King of the Mines! under the ownership of Clay. It defeated Ash's Snivy in a Gym battle, but was later defeated by Ash's newly-evolved Boldore.
