Dynamax Excadrill FAQ
How good is Dynamax Excadrill in Max Battles?
Dynamax Excadrill ranks #1 out of 20 in the Ground-type Max Battle attacker ranking, in SS Tier.
Dynamax Excadrill ranks #3 out of 14 in the Steel-type Max Battle attacker ranking, in S Tier.
This ranking measures damage per Max Attack. It does not estimate total battle time, fainting or the performance of a full team. A real boss’s Defense, resistances and weaknesses can change the damage and ranking.
Which moves should Dynamax Excadrill use in Max Battles?
Recommended moves
- Ground Attacker:
Mud Shot
Max Quake - Steel Attacker:
Metal Claw
Max Steelspike
Max Attack damage determines the ranking. When two movesets deal equal damage, we favor the Fast Attack that fills the Max Meter faster against the same neutral target.
What does the asterisk beside a move mean?
The recommended movesets above do not include legacy moves.
An asterisk (*) marks a legacy move. A recommended moveset may rely on one, so check how to get it before investing in that Pokémon. It may require an event, an Elite TM or another special method. Some legacy moves cannot be learned with an Elite TM. Excluding legacy moves can change the recommended moveset and ranking.
Why do some attackers use a Fast Attack of another type?
For Dynamax Pokémon, the Fast Attack normally determines the Max Attack type; Hidden Power produces Max Strike. Gigantamax Pokémon have a fixed G-Max Attack. Crowned Pokémon and Eternatus also use fixed special attacks. Changing their Fast Attack does not change that attack’s type.
How are Max Battle attackers ranked?
The default ranking uses Level 40 Pokémon with perfect 15/15/15 IVs and Level 3 Max Attacks against a neutral opponent, with no weather boost. Only Pokémon marked available in our data are included.
Should I only power up the highest-ranked attacker?
Not necessarily. A strong Max Battle team needs more than damage. You may also need Pokémon that withstand incoming attacks, use Max Guard to absorb hits or restore HP with Max Spirit.
What are Dynamax Excadrill’s strengths and weaknesses?
As a Ground and Steel-type Pokémon, Dynamax Excadrill is weak to Fighting, Fire, Ground, and Water-type moves.

Dynamax Excadrill’s maximum CP at Level 40 is 3244 CP and 3667 CP at Level 50.
