Iris's Excadrill (Japanese: アイリスのドリュウズ Iris's Doryuzu) is the second Pokémon that Iris was revealed to have. He first appeared in The Bloom Is on Axew!.
History
He first met Iris after tormenting some Patrat and stealing their food. She challenged him and after being defeated countless times, Iris finally managed to get the better of the Drilbur and got him mangled in some vines. Unfortunately, he was dangling over a cliff, and after saving him from a deadly fall, the two began training together. They eventually entered a tournament, where he evolved into Excadrill. Iris then challenges Drayden to a battle which he happily accepts. Excadrill put up a fight, but was taken out by Drayden's powerful Haxorus. Excadrill becomes ashamed of its loss and resorts to closing itself off from Iris, rarely opening up but still feeling the pain of its loss over the years.
He is later introduced to Ash and Cilan in The Bloom Is on Axew! when Iris's Axew got stuck in the horns of a wild Scolipede, and both Cilan's Pansage and Ash's Snivy tried and failed to stop it. Reluctantly, Iris sent out Excadrill to help. But as soon as he came out, he stayed in his inactive state and refused to do anything. After Iris rescued Axew herself, Excadrill came to life and attacked Scolipede after Scolipede inadvertently kicked him. He easily defeated it and sent it flying off into the horizon. Excadrill cried out in victory before going back into his inactive state.
Iris sent out Excadrill to help out in BW020 when Ash and Pikachu went missing after falling down a hole. However Excadrill refused to help, remaining inactive and forcing Iris to recall him. He appeared again for a short time in BW027 to fend off a swarm of Swoobat, but as usual he just remained idle. He then fell for Emolga's Attract and was returned to his Poké Ball. Then in the next episode he was brought out by Emolga's Volt Switch, but still did nothing.
Personality
Excadrill, just like Ash's Charizard and Dawn's Mamoswine before him, did not listen to his trainer in his debut. However, unlike the other two, this was not in disloyalty to his trainer. In reality, Excadrill is a very proud Pokémon who was once very caring towards his trainer. But after a devastating defeat, he becomes very upset to the point of hiding his face from Iris for years though secretly listening to her every word. He later reassures himself after learning a new attack and opens up to his trainer once again.
