Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Leaf Storm
- Giga Drain
- Flamethrower
Following the April tier shifts and the subsequent bans of Virizion, Clawitzer, Kingler, and Omastar, Alolan Exeggutor has quickly established itself as one of the tier's most potent wallbreakers; sporting impressive Special Attack, great STAB moves, and good coverage options, Alolan Exeggutor has next to no reliable switch-ins. Giga Drain provides Alolan Exeggutor with a weaker STAB move that doesn't hinder its wallbreaking power, while Flamethrower targets Steel-types like Silvally-Steel and Alolan Sandslash. Archeops and Choice Scarf Togedemaru make for stellar partners, bringing Alolan Exeggutor in against defensive behemoths like Palossand, Regirock, and Sandaconda while also checking Flying-types such as Charizard and Scyther. Alolan Exeggutor often finds itself forced out by threats like Ribombee, Froslass, and Toxicroak, so it appreciates bulky teammates like Gigalith, Miltank, and Garbodor to fall back on; Garbodor can also make it easier for Alolan Exeggutor to wallbreak with its Spikes.
