OK, this is my first analysis, so I might make a large amount of errors.

<p>Thanks to the combination of Lum Berry and Harvest, Exeggutor can switch into common status moves from Pokemon such as Tangrowth, Amoonguss, and Slowking, and either cripple the foe with Sleep Powder or retaliate with one of its STAB moves. In the first slot, Rest is used to heal Exeggutor from residual damage taken from entry hazards and resisted moves, and is risk-free thanks to Lum Berry. When Exeggutor should use Rest depends on the foe's team. For example, if Exeggutor is at half health and the foe has a Slowking out, Exeggutor should use Rest immediately so it doesn't get KOed by Fire Blast the next time it switches into it. In the second slot, Sleep Powder is used to incapacitate common switch-ins such as Moltres and Druddigon. Leaf Storm occupies the third slot, and thanks to its immediate power, OHKOes several Pokemon that Giga Drain could not, including Slowking, Walrein, and Lanturn. It should be noted that Exeggutor has the strongest Leaf Storm in RU, which is a boon over other Grass-types like Sceptile. However, Giga Drain can be use for its reliability, but be warned, as missing out on the aforementioned KOs could be crucial. The last slot is dedicated to a Psychic STAB of choice. Psyshock is generally the better option, as it 2HKOes Lilligant after a Quiver Dance boost and OHKOes Roselia and Cryogonal after Stealth Rock. However, Psychic can be used to guarantee an OHKO on Emboar, as well as land a solid 2HKO on Tangrowth. It should be noted that Exeggutor's Psychic STAB is a huge advantage it has over other Grass-types, as it not only pressures common sleep inducers such as Emboar and Druddigon, but also destroys Amoonguss and Roselia, which would normally be threatening to other Grass-types.</p>

<p>The given EVs allow Exeggutor to outpace minimum Speed Lanturn while also making Exeggutor as powerful and bulky as possible. Hidden Power Fire can be used to hit Steel-types like Escavalier, but it is very difficult to fit into Exeggutor's moveset. Pokemon that resist Exeggutor's weaknesses are good partners. Steelix resists five of Exeggutor's weaknesses and walls Escavalier. In return, Exeggutor can deal with Poliwrath and Qwilfish, which would otherwise give Steelix problems. Entei and Kabutops are also good partners, as they not only destroy Escavalier and Moltres, but also form a dangerous Fire / Water / Grass core. Qwilfish is another solid partner as it can switch into Durant and Entei and either cripple them with Thunder Wave or use them as a setup fodder for Spikes. In return, Exeggutor deals with Rotom-C and Sceptile fairly well. It also deals with non-Hidden Power Lilligant, assuming that Exeggutor has Psyshock and Lilligant uses Sleep Powder the turn Exeggutor switches in. It should be noted that all of the aforementioned Pokemon appreciate Exeggutor's ability to absorb Scald, as many of them fare poorly against bulky Water-types and are greatly hindered when burned.</p>

Thanks to the combination of Lum Berry and Harvest, Exeggutor can switch into common status moves such as Spore with near impunity and either retaliate with one of its STAB moves or cripple the foe with Sleep Powder
Rest is the main move on this set because it allows Exeggutor to recover all of its HP and can be used Risk-Free thanks to the Lum Berry
Sleep Powder finds its way on the second slot thanks to its ability to incapacitate common switch-ins such as Moltres and Klinklang
Leaf Storm is your main STAB move and thanks to its higher base power, it OHKO's many Pokemon that Giga Drain cannot including Slowking, Lanturn and Walrein
However, Giga Drain can still be used if you prefer a reliable attacking move, but be warned, as missing these KO's could be crucial
Psyshock is you secondary STAB move and it 2HKOs Lilligant after a quiver dance boost, as well as OHKO Roselia and Cryonagal after Stealth Rock
However, Psychic can be used to guarantee a OHKO on Emboar, as well as land a solid 2HKO on Tangrowth and Entei
Exeggutor's Psychic STAB is a huge boon over other Grass types, as it not only pressures common sleep absorbers like Emboar and Druddigon, but also deals with Amoongus and Roselia, who would otherwise be threatening

EVs allow Exeggutor to out speed minimum speed Lanturn, while also making you as powerful and bulky as possible
Hidden Power Fire can be used to hit Ferroseed hard, but Exeggutor cannot find space for it on its moveset
Pokemon that resist Exeggutor's weaknesses are good partners
Aggron resist 6 of Exeggutor's weaknesses and can wall Escavalier and Durant lacking Superpower, while in return, Exeggutor deals with Steelix and Poliwrath, who would otherwise completely wall Aggron
Entei and Kabutops are also decent partners as they not only beat pokemon threatening to Exeggutor such as Escavalier and Moltres, but also form a dangerous Fire-Water-Grass core
Qwilfish is also a good partner, because it can switch into Durant and Entei and either cripple then with Thunder Wave, or use them as a setup fodder for spikes; both of which increase Exeggutor's effectiveness
In return, Exeggutor deals with Sceptile and Rotom-C fairly well, as well as Lilligant, assuming it uses sleep poweder on the turn exeggutor switches in and does not have Hidden Power
It should be noted that all of the aforementioned Pokemon appreciate Exeggutor's ability to absorb Scald, as many of them fare poorly against Bulky Water types and dislike getting burned
