Considering i didn't play ground since a time but all others type, i can say you my arguments aren't subjective.
My favorite type is ground, i am knew with it, ok, but it doesn't mind i want all broken things for this type because i prefer have a correct metagame, thing, you don't want believe when i see your answer about mine.
Let me say you something too:
I was became #1 on the ladder with Electric, next Ground, next Normal, next Psychic, next water, next Dragons, next fighting, next steel, next (cancer) Water and i'm finnaly #1 with Semi-Stall Flying.
Excadrill was released for all type i was became first on the ladd.
So, i thing i'm objective and i know how counter Excadrill here.
So, let me answer to yours:
1) Azumarill just sweep alone ground team if he is well set up.
So, yeah, Ground struggle with Fairy.
2) Back to time now, remember Imperium team, remember Jak.
This guy was the best Fire user in PS (no offense Aubby) and i've played a lot of game with him (Ground against Fire) and he won sometimes.
So, this is the best argument for fire against Ground Smooth Rock Excadrill i can give you.
You can defeat Ground with Fire if you play well.
But some people are lazy to try to play well and want ban all very good cores.
3) For you example against Ice, please, i've given Cloyster example.
Next Avalugg can resist to Excadrill Iron Head like you've showed it.
Next EQ of Avalugg: 0 Atk Avalugg Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Excadrill: 248-294 (68.5 - 81.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO.
So we admit that Excadrill killed Avalugg.
He lost 20% with Life Orb (2moves) and you add 68.5-81.2%. → 88.5-101.2%
You know what to do, Ice Shard and you can sweep Ground team.
But it's weird, you didn't notice it. You'll probably say "You're wrong with your argument".
Ok, let me saying you i've done a lot of game with Ground against ICE and it is really worked.
So, another arguments failed for you.
4) Flying.
You're adding again new condition, it's a lot of condition Lando-Gravity, Smooth Rock, Excadrill Sand Rush LO.
But ok, i'm fine, Lando? He's ct by Articuno.
Excadrill? He's owned by Gliscor.
252+ Atk Life Orb Excadrill Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gliscor: 148-175 (41.8 - 49.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Poison Heal
0 Atk Gliscor Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Excadrill: 312-368 (86.1 - 101.6%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO → With LO damage → 75% to OHKO Excadrill.
Result? Flying can easily check and i know it well because i'm playing flying atm and still being #1 on the ladd.
5)Dark:
Please, stop saying stupid things, Pika can tell you he can check this core.
Crawdaunt sweep all the Ground team if he succes to just set up one DD or SD.
It won't be Landorus who can resist to it even not Hippo.
Mandibuzz Foul Play is too a thing. Like Sableye-M.
6) Cofragigus never used?
23%, and one guys of Dusk (Chleg) who has been #5 on ladd used Cofragigus, so, i can ask you, so you know really the metagame or just saying things like this?
For others calc, you 're just saying i'm right for ghost.
7) Fighting has a huge advantage with Keldeo Breloom, when i was saying i consider Fighting like a weakness for Ground and IMP time, i forbid the using of Breloom-Keldeo, it was because Fighting is really a weakness for ground, with M-Gallade, it's worst than before.
Ice Punch power + Mach Punch + Keldeo Sub CM + Hawlucha + Breloom → You've just lost. (If your opponent doesn't play like a noob of course :) ).
8) According with All Fall Down and others good guys with who i've talked, Mew can check the most of the team for ground.
So, Psychic is enough strong to counter Excradrill-Lando.
9) People who use Diancie-M instead M-Aggron are wrong because Diancie can't counter most of Rocks weakness like M-Aggron.
But anyway, it's a match up, so, Rock lost with or without Excradrill.
Discussion about Exca for this type is useless.
10) Steel → Nidoking can kill all the team without Excadrill.
And like i've said, you're again adding new condition.
Counter i've given is enough, you're just writing to say nothing here, sorry to say it.
11) Normal.
You're talking about generic teams.
Your argument is only based on generic team.
So, how can you be credible when i read this?
12) Dragon.
The best ct for Dragon is Mamoswine and not Excdrill/Garchomp lol.
In wich metagame are you to say Mamo isn't THE counter for dragon...
And finally to answer about your last sentence:
"Now to
Fírnen , Im aware we both have a huge amount of IF's, I really am.
But cant you see these are more likely?
Counter Chansey?
Cofagrigus?
Seriously?"
I just have more experience and games played than you in this tiers.
I know which sets are used and which Pokemons too.
Try to discredit me like you did is vexed.
I've more 1000 games for more 700 wins in this metagame.
Just with it and with stats (who aren't very explicit cause
stats are based on usage of Pokemon of ALL USERS, BAD TOO.), i can give an objective opinion.
I didn't always have understood why you were discrediting me while i know the meta and ( i don't like saying this) i'm one of the best monotype player.
All things i say is thought and checked.
I put once more time my stats to have more credibility (like Crazy did).
