Best Excadrill IVs by league
| League | Rank 1 IV | Lv | CP | 15/15/15 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Little | not allowed — must be unevolved and able to evolve | |||
| Great | 2/15/15 | 17 | 1499 | #1,112 |
| Ultra | 0/15/15 | 28.5 | 2495 | #2,957 |
| Master | 15/15/15 | 50 | 3667 | #1 |
Excadrill cannot enter Little League because it has already evolved. Little League only takes Pokémon that have not evolved yet and can still evolve, so the 500 CP cap is not the only rule.

IVs carry over when a Pokémon evolves, so pick the spread for the league you mean to play it in, not for the stage you caught it at.

| League | PvPoke rank | Score | Usual moves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Great | #530 of 1,154 | 73.9 | Mud Shot, Drill Run, Rock Slide |
| Ultra | #466 of 851 | 73.1 | Mud Shot, Drill Run, Rock Slide |
| Master | #164 of 409 | 68 | Mud Shot, Drill Run, Rock Slide |
These are two different questions. The IV ranks further up say which Excadrill to build; the meta rank says whether Excadrill is worth building at all. Ranks and movesets come from PvPoke, whose battle simulations produce them, and they move as the meta does.
How to find a good Excadrill
The search-string generator builds a string you can paste into the search bar in Pokémon GO. It matches the CP, HP and appraisal stars of the top spreads above — pre-evolutions included — so you can sweep a whole storage box in one go.
To check an Excadrill you already own, open the IV ranker and set its IVs. It ranks every stage of the evolution line at once and shows the meta rank beside the IV rank.
