Should I use Swords Dance or Hone Claws on Excadrill for my Black 2 in-game team?

Question

I currently caught a Drilbur (F) who I named Mao in Black2 and I'm currently grinding her. When Mao evolves to an Excadrill, should I keep Hone Claws or replace it with Swords Dance?

Answer 1

Certainly Swords Dance.
Your obvious STABs, Iron head and earthquake, are 100% accurate. Thus, you don't need accuracy boost. And Swords Dance gives +2 attack, which is really powerful. After a single swords dance, you should be able to sweep through every NPC.
Hope I Helped!

You do help a lot :D I'll be sure to put Swords Dance on Mao when she's at the level where she should've learnt the said move. Thank you!

Lol I just try my best. Thanks for your compliment and you're welcome!

What if you’re running an OHKO move? That would probably be stupid, but hone claws raises accuracy, making it slightly less stupid! I think you should put in something saying why hone claws might be okay too.
