Excadrill · Obsidian Flames, what to know.
About the Excadrill card
Numbered 147 of 230 in Obsidian Flames, released in August 2023, Excadrill is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Metal-type carrying 120 HP.
It evolves from Drilbur, so Excadrill is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Excadrill carries this Pokédex flavor text: "Known as the Drill King, this Pokémon can tunnel through the terrain at speeds of over 90 mph."
What is Excadrill worth?
Excadrill is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Excadrill before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Excadrill grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Excadrill
Raw copies of Excadrill are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Excadrill is the practical move.
