Excadrill or Gigalith?

[Mystical Jackal]

They're similar in very aspects, so I think this thread will end up in a good discussion.

1. Both tend to be trained to become physical sweepers.
2. Excadrill's base stat total is 508 and Gigalith's is 505.
3. They both have 135 of base stat on Attack.

I prefer Excadrill because of movepool and type. Post your choice!

[Agonist]

Excadrill any day.

[^Cutty^]

Obviously Excadrill. Super fast. Unless I go for shiny form. Gigalith lights up the world more.

[Psiionic]

In a Nuzlocke I would prefer Gigalith, Dat sturdy~

But in competitive I would rather use Excadrill

[tayetayetv1]

Excadrill!

[Bossk]

Gigalith on my personal favorite, but Excadrill for competitive use.

[YourPermanentRecord631]

Excadrill because of Ground Uber powa!

[pokemonsquared]

There is no discussion.

Excadrill wins

Also
Excadrill-Ubers
Gigalith-NU where even there it sucks

[Toxic Nightshade]

Excadrill, but gigalith's shiny form takes my breath away. ;P

[Savanny]

I prefer Gigalith's design over Excadrill's. Excadrill is better in battle, however.
But Gigalith's shiny form is gorgeous.

[Jaguartail]

Excadrill - better in battle

I used Excadrill in my White team, and it worked well. I haven't used Gigalith, so I don't know how it is, but I'll go with Excadrill anyway.

[SoulMuse]

Excadrill no contest. The mole is just stupid powerful....and the rock bug thing....is just eh.

[Torpoleon]

Excadrill. It is really fast and can learn some great moves.

lol

clicks excadrill

[Pilpulp]

Excadrill I think A LOT of people used it in their main story line playthrough

[Absoltastic]

While Excadrill may be better in competitive usage, in-game I definitely prefer Gigalith due to Sturdy, and it is actually a rock type with very strong physical attack and defense.

I was a lot better at controlling a Gigalith on my in-game team while my Excadrill seemed to need a good deal of leveling before it could really show its Uber power.

[silver_phoenix]

definately Excadrill! I got mine as a tiny Drillbur and evolved and trained him into Excadrill!

[DizzyCobraMew]

Excadrill for power and Gigalith for Sturdy and shiny forme plus atone edge

[Ansem1013]

Excadrill is the Gurren Lagann of pokemon; there really is no contest between these two . . .

[Zoruagible]

I prefer Gigalith because of the ability Sturdy. Excadrill is a good choice as well

[Quilava42]

Excadrill. I mean, despite Gigalith's durability, Excadrill is speedy and has a high Attack stat. And it has STAB moves like Iron Head and Earthquake to kill Gigalith. Excadrill also has a x1/4 tolerance to Rock attacks, so Excadrill can have Swords Dance and other moves to sweep that thing to chunks of rocks.

[Hudsonn98]

Excadrill no contest.

EDIT: RANK UP!

[xEryChan]

Excadrill, hands down!

[nathandg0924]

Definitely Excadrill. It's more powerful and it's faster and it's part steel type. I used one in my team and he's a lot more powerful than what I initially thought.
