So I was just checking ability stats, and to my surprise, Excadrill actually only used mold breaker 28% of the time. Don't get me wrong now, Excadrill is pretty much the reason I use sand, but Mold Breaker Excadrill is THE Excadrill to use in the rain! (and yes I know that Tyranitar was with Excadrill 50% of the time and Kyogre was there 30% of the time).

Something that also surprised me was Iron Head's usage being so low. Rapid Spin is a great move, but Iron Head has some serious appeal on the Sand Rush set, since after a boost, you have a good chance of OHKOing -Defense Giratina-O after Stealth Rock damage, you OHKO Latias, you can deal a crazy 86.15 - 101.69% vs Jolly Gliscor, and you 2HKO Grass Arceus! Also, I have to admit that Iron Head flinches have saved me before too!
