As a Drilbur, Excadrill first met Iris during her childhood after tormenting some {{p|Patrat}} and stealing their food. She challenged him and, after being defeated countless times, finally managed to get him tangled in some vines. Unfortunately, he was dangling over a cliff, forcing Iris to save him from a fall. Afterwards, the two began {{pkmn|training}} together. Drilbur won all of his matches through one-hit KOs, never taking a hit in the process. They eventually entered a tournament, where he evolved into Excadrill while battling a Trainer's {{p|Druddigon}} and won, earning Iris a streak of 99 straight wins. Iris, looking to get her 100th win against a Dragon Master, challenged [[Drayden]] to a battle which he happily accepted. Excadrill put up the best fight that he could against Drayden's powerful {{p|Haxorus}}, but he was unable to inflict any damage on Haxorus and found himself taking hits for the first time. Realizing that he had no chance of winning, he tried to relay this to Iris, but in her determination to win against Drayden, she continued pushing him to keep battling. Haxorus soon knocked Excadrill out, and Excadrill, ashamed over the loss and concluding that Iris cared more about winning battles more than she did about him, became distrustful of her as his Trainer, and [[Obedience|closed himself off from her]]. | As a Drilbur, Excadrill first met Iris during her childhood after tormenting some {{p|Patrat}} and stealing their food.

He was later introduced to {{Ash}} and {{an|Cilan}} in ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]'' when [[Iris's Axew]] got stuck in the horns of a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Scolipede}}, and both [[Cilan's Pansage]] and [[Ash's Snivy]] tried and failed to stop it. Reluctantly, Iris sent out Excadrill to help. But as soon as he came out, he stayed in his inactive state and refused to do anything. After Iris rescued Axew herself, Excadrill came out of his inactive state and attacked Scolipede after Scolipede inadvertently kicked him. He easily defeated it and sent it flying off into the horizon. Excadrill cried out in victory before going back into his inactive state. | He was later introduced to {{Ash}} and {{an|Cilan}} in ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]'' when [[Iris's Axew]] got stuck in the horns of a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Scolipede}}, and both [[Cilan's Pansage]] and [[Ash's Snivy]] tried and failed to stop it.
