Iris's Excadrill/Personality and characteristics

Like Ash's Charizard and Dawn's Mamoswine before him, Excadrill did not listen to his Trainer in his debut. However, unlike the other two, this was not in disloyalty to his Trainer. Excadrill is a very proud Pokémon who was once very caring towards his Trainer. However, after a devastating defeat, he became resentful to the point of blocking Iris out and distrustful of her advice in battle, considering her a bad Trainer who would make him lose again. He was later reassured after she apologized to him, learning and opened up to his  once again.

Excadrill, as a Drilbur, was shown to be somewhat of a bully when he stole apples and abused a group of. Like Ash's Snivy, Excadrill has a passion for battling and won't ever give up, no matter what the circumstances. He always looks for different ways to improve. He is most often used in tournaments.
