#57 Excadrill - Emerging Powers (bw2)

Excadrill is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 120 HP and a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It features two attacks: "Dig," which costs one Fighting and one Colorless energy to deal 30 damage and grants a 50% chance to prevent all effects of attacks during the opponent's next turn, and "Earthquake," requiring two Colorless and one Fighting energy to deal 70 damage while also inflicting 10 damage to each of the player's Benched Pokémon. The card resists Lightning-type attacks by 20% but is weak to Water-type attacks, which deal double damage. Excadrill's design is tied to its underground habitat, as indicated by its flavor text describing its mazelike nests located over 300 feet below the surface. It is part of the Black & White series, released in August 2011, and is classified as a Rare card. The artwork is attributed to artist Shin Nagasawa, and it holds the Pokédex number 530. This card's strategic versatility stems from its ability to disrupt opponents while maintaining offensive capability.
