Tapu Lele is a monster. Not the kind of monster that you would find under your bed, obviously, but a monster in the competitive scene: it has incredible Special Attack, a great ability and powerful STABs. You can read more about this Pokémon in OU here if you want! However, it struggles against Poison and Steel types, but don't worry; Excadrill can fix this. Excadrill is an incredible partner for Tapu Lele, as it can remove Steel and Poison types (except a few things like Skarmory and Celesteela), spin away hazards to allow Tapu Lele to switch in more times, and takes care of special walls that would be an issue for Tapu Lele, which can remove physical walls for Excadrill. Furthermore, Excadrill's Fighting weakness is covered by Lele. They also have great synergy as Excadrill is very good against offense, having nice Speed with the Choice Scarf and hitting fairly hard, while Tapu Lele just breaks through bulky stuff with ease because of its raw power, making it great against balance.
