# Excadrill #96/160 — Primal Clash

## Summary

Excadrill is a Unova favorite whose Ground-and-Steel typing and drill-claw design made it a standout among Gen V's non-legendary Pokémon. Printed as a plain Rare in Primal Clash, a set built around Primal Groudon and Kyogre, it was a mid-tier pull, so demand rests on fans and Metal collectors. A $0.34 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $34, 100 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.07 out of Surging Sparks.
