ttar --> A rank
exca --> S rank
Ok after playing around some more and testing with others I have came to the conclusion that sand is the best playstyle. I know others agree with me on this!
Ttar supplies sand to a team and it has a lot of utilities that cant be turned down. Being able to check gira-o and fireceus is super important and it gets other stuff that help with role compressional (Thunder wave, rocks, pursuit). Recently Dg9 created an offensive set that ruins gira-o even if it will o wisps it. Its definitely better than a- rank its giving new players the idea that sand is mediocre.
Exca is a complete savage. The only common mon that actually counters it is defensive grassceus that has to run max def to be able to tank a +2 iron head and a +2 burned iron head. Well yes grassceus does a nice job at countering it but it also gives a free switch in to many threats. So at worst you just use grassceus for an ez pivot to mons like heatran or fireceus. Gira-o blocks rapid spin and has access to will o wisp but it does a horrible job at countering it throughout the whole game. After exca iron heads once it can just sd on the next time gira-o comes in and ohko. With every team being weak to ground Excadrill is by far the best sweeper in the metagame and it deserves S rank. Why wouldn't it?
