[OVERVIEW]
Exeggutor's combination of high Special Attack, Leaf Storm, and Psychic typing make it much harder to safely switch into, unlike other Grass-types like Whimsicott and Eldegoss. However, Exeggutor's bulk, defensive typing, and Speed leave much to be desired, so it's easily offensively checked by Pokemon such as Charizard and U-turn Silvally-Steel. Furthermore, Exeggutor's lacking coverage leaves it easily walled by Pokemon such as Ferroseed and Galarian Articuno. Overall, this can leave Exeggutor difficult to justify over other superior Grass-types and Choice Specs users such as Whimsicott, Mesprit, and Jellicent.

Psychic is preferred to Psyshock for its greater damage output, but the latter can be used instead of or alongside it to help with special walls like Audino. Giga Drain is a more accurate Grass-type attack and gives Exeggutor some longevity. The last moveslot is very flexible, with Future Sight taking advantage of Exeggutor's high Special Attack to force switches, Sleep Powder crippling potential switch-ins like Togedemaru and Teleport gaining momentum. These moves can allow teammates like Gigalith and Ribombee to set up Stealth Rock and Quiver Dance, respectively. Exeggutor also pairs well with Pokemon such as Doublade and Sandslash, as it can help weaken their checks such as Quagsire and defensive Eldegoss. Exeggutor can struggle to take a hit when switching in, so slow pivots such as Wishiwashi and Lanturn are beneficial. It is important to note that since Exeggutor is locked into an attack, it can be easily taken advantage of by Pokemon like Swords Dance Sneasel and Quiver Dance Frosmoth, especially when locking into Leaf Storm.
