Excadrill is A tier. It has a great ability and good offensive coverage and speed in Sand.
Update: I meant to include a few more possible sets besides Clear Amulet. But I'd generally recommend that item UNLESS you use something like Defiant or Contrary to counter Intimidate. But I used ZapdosG on my Sand team (That I won my own Limitless tourney tonight on 1-05-24) so I was testing Focus Sash with High Horsepower Iron Head X-Scissor and Protect and Tera Ground since Sash. You also could use Life Orb with the same set but might want Tera Dragon if you want it better defensively but Ground is good if you want more power. I don't think I'd recommend Band.
I use my 20+ years of expertise in Pokemon with almost all of that being competitive to make these videos. I remember getting Top8 in the world my first year competiting, in 2010. And have not consistently topcut but have always had really great teams from me specializing in teambuilding over battling.
I make these videos for free. If you would like some tutoring like teambuilding or battling advice or wanna donate to support more videos like these to help the Pokemon community please contact me to donate or check out my Paypal! All the donations goes towards tournament prize money in my tourneys, not to me lol.
