# Excadrill #97/160 — Primal Clash

## Summary

Excadrill is a Unova favorite whose drill-mole design and Ground/Steel typing earned steady fan loyalty, and this Primal Clash version carries an Ancient Trait that lets it swing twice. It was a mid-tier Rare in a set chased for its Primal legends, so demand stays modest. At a $2.98 modelled guide, down 6% over 30 days on 11 copies traded, with 61 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.10 out of Surging Sparks; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
