Turns out that Quiver Dance Lilligant can setup against Clay's Palpitoad with roughly zero risk, making Excadrill not a problem.
Next up is gonna be Skyla, and my team has been pretty bad against Flying types this whole times. However, I could easily guarantee myself an Excadrill from Chargestone, and that's probably that fight in the bag.
I've noticed this pattern of whatever new Pokemon you can capture won't ever get to immediately evolve because their levels are all made specifically for this game. So most of them will be useless for the segment you catch them in at this point.
