Why is Medicham considered a good budget deck, but not Excadrill?
>20 more base damage on its move
>Immediately sets itself up with its first attack, and you can still swing for damage same turn
>First attack lets you add special energy if you want
>You get support via Bronzong, Aegislash, and other Steel goodies
>Steel Shelter for Pyroar if you need it
>GOOD AGAINST FAIRIES and even resists Psychic
Sure, with Medicham you get access to Strong Energy and Fighting Gym, but you're already hitting for 20 more off the bat with Excadrill and you get tankiness in the form of special Steel. Why is Medicham considered better?
