#57 Excadrill - Dark Explorers (bw5)
Excadrill is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 120 HP, featured in the Black & White series as part of the Dark Explorers set released in 2012. Its design is attributed to artist Masakazu Fukuda, and it possesses a retreat cost of four Colorless energy. The card includes two attacks: Reinforced Drill, which costs Fighting and two Colorless energy to deal 50+ damage and gains an additional 30 damage if a Pokémon Tool is attached, and Mach Claw, requiring Fighting and three Colorless energy to strike for 70 damage without being influenced by Resistance. Excadrill has a Lightning resistance of -20, making it less vulnerable to such attacks, but it is weak to Water-type moves with a ×2 multiplier. The card’s flavor text highlights its role in tunnel construction, emphasizing its evolved steel drill capable of penetrating iron plates. It carries a rarity of Rare and is numbered 57 in its set.
