I’d say Krookodile because Moxie or Intimidate comes in handy and you don’t see sand outside of the Desert Resort rendering Excadrill’s abilities useless unless you want to put Sandstorm on it :P

KrookodileAbility: Moxie / Intimidate- Stone Edge- Earthquake- Crunch- Superpower / any move of your liking

Excadrill’s physical attack stat is better than Krookodile’s, and its movepool is significantly better. Excadrill learns dig and earthquake 13 and 18 levels earlier than Krookodile, respectively. Krookodile is also completely unable to learn swords dance.sourcesourceExcadrill is ranked higher than Krookodile on Smogon and was used by the current world record holder in B2W2 speedrunning, so I think Excadrill’s better moves matter more than Krookodile’s better ability.sourcesourceThis is the moveset used in the speedrun. You can feed it 10 carbos if you want more speed.Excadrill @ lucky egg- earthquake- iron head- swords dance- rock slide

I would say Krookodile.He has really good stab moves and he also does better on the Elite 4, champions w/ dragon types (outrage) and all that.
