[SET COMMENTS]
Excadrill stands out as a lead due to its rare ability to set and remove Stealth Rock and be offensively threatening to targets like Gholdengo and Regieleki. Rock Slide synergizes well with Earthquake offensively because they create the EdgeQuake combination, and it hits Pokemon like Skamory, Landorus, Corviknight, and Lugia. Rapid Spin is used to remove entry hazards set by other leads, such as Sticky Web from Galvantula or Araquanid, and Stealth Rock breaks any Focus Sashes and chips foes. Tera Ghost spinblocks Pokemon like Great Tusk and Regieleki, as well as granting an immunity to Fighting-type moves from Pokemon like Chien-Pao; however, Excadrill won't always be your best candidate for Terastallization. Lead Excadrill should be used on hyper offense teams. Strong wallbreakers like Mewtwo, Zacian, (comma) and Deoxys like Excadrill as a teammate because it is good at setting up hazards to chip down threats into KO range of them. Air Balloon Gholdengo is also a decent teammate, as it is immune to Fighting- and Ground-type attacks, which gives the user a chance to save Excadrill as a potential sacrifice or save its Rapid Spin for later and allow it to set Stealth Rock if it gets removed. Taunt from Arceus formes and Deoxys really ruins Excadrill, so having a Pokemon like Zamazenta-C that can threaten Arceus formes is a good idea.
