Strategy:
Use Excadrill to Dredge energy on to itself, move it around with shift Gears klinklang and protect them with plasma steel. Aegislash to deal with stuff like swampert and empoleon. Jirachi to help slim down the supporter line to make space and increase consistency.

The basic idea is to set up and then steam roll once they cant attack back. Because what are you really afraid of once you lock out EX attackers and anything with abilities.

This is a first pass for this deck. I really want to use excadrill, but im not really sure what to play it with.
 
RE: Excadrill/Kinklang

I would add max potion since you shift gears with Klinklang. Also a 3/3 line of Excadrill will work fine. No need for 4/3 because your not trying to recycle them with scoop up or anything like bats. I would also add a second shift gear Klinklang. For whenever I use stage 2's I normally like to choose one that has a joint evolution with joint abilities. So I can play them 3/1/2/2 with the top 2 being the jointed evolutions.
 
RE: Excadrill/Kinklang

The problem with dropping a drilbur is lowering the basics down even more. With only 9 pokemon already, i dont think i would like to tempt fate with only 8. I only have 4-3, because i needed a few more slots.

Also max potion with 110 hp attacker is kind of dumb. They still die in one hit for the most part. If they can hit Aegislash, a max potion isn't going to help much.
