Mega Excadrill Sandstorm

DoublesPre-Release

Theory

Synergy

Mega Excadrill's theorized Unseen Fist ability pairs with its 165 base Attack for aggressive pressure. The steel-dragon-fairy defensive core (Excadrill/Kommo-o/Primarina) provides excellent type coverage. Kommo-o with Throat Spray becomes a Clanging Scales-boosted special attacker to diversify the otherwise physical-heavy lineup.

Win Conditions

Leverage Mega Excadrill's powerful Attack and Unseen Fist while Tyranitar sets Sandstorm. Kommo-o boosts SpA with Throat Spray after Clanging Scales to clean up, while Primarina handles Dondozo and water threats with Haze.

Lead Options

Excadrill-Mega + Tyranitar, Excadrill-Mega + Rotom-Mow

Threats

Opposing sand teams, fairy types that threaten Kommo-o, opposing Trick Room setters.
