Trivia

  • Excadrill was among eight Pokémon revealed on the show Oha Suta on June 27, 2010. It was officially revealed on the October issue of Coro Coro on September 11, 2010.
  • Despite its plump build, Excadrill can't have the ability Thick Fat.
  • Excadrill was originally going to have purple fur with hot pink stomach stripes. But its design was later revised to change its color to brown and red, and its stomach stripes were reversed from left to right.

Origin

Excadrill is based on an obese mole and a drill. The fact that it has drill bits on both its hands and its head may be in reference to Crash Man, a boss from Mega Man 2 who has drills for hands and a drill-like visor on his head.

Etymology

Excadrill's name is derived from the words "excavate", "drill" and "excalibur".

Its Japanese name is likely a combination of ドリルズ doriruzu, drills, 土 do, earth, and 竜 ryū, dragon, the "on" reading of the second kanji of 土竜 mogura, mole.
