Exeggutor Analysis

Not open for further replies.
[OVERVIEW]

Exeggutor definately stands out to be one of the few defensive grass types in the PU Tier. Though it faces stiff competitions with meganium and ferroseed, which has more resistances and less weaknesses than it, it still has a reasonable bulk and an outstanding 125 special attack. It also has access to trick room which could come in handy when building a trick room team and powerful moves like leaf storm which could tear down opposing teams. But due to its poor typing, it falls to fire, flying, ice, ghost, dark and a four times weakness to bug type pokemon like leavanny.

[SET]

name:TrickySeeds
move 1:Trick Room
move 2:Leech Seed
move 3:Substitude
move 4:Psyshock/Synthesis
Ability:Chlorophyll
Evs:248hp,252def,8SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs:Speed 0

[SET DETAILS]

Evs are put into hp and defense to maximise its overall physical bulk and set up trick room at the 1st turn. A relaxed nature further boosts it's defense and lowers it's speed to outspeed more pokemon while trick room is up. Leech Seed and substitute are moves to stall out the opponent while outspeeding them. Lastly, Psyshock is used to not get taunted. If not, Synthesis would be the secondary choice to further stall out your opponent.

[TEAM OPTIONS]

Since exeggutor despises bug types, rock type pokemon such as cradily or crustle could come in and take out them.exeggutor in turn can cover the fighting weakness and provide leech seed. Revenge killers such as dedenne could finish off dark type pokemon that threaten exeggutor. Dark type pokemon also can be a good teammate for exeggutor as it can take care of ghost pokemon that exeggutor fears.

[CHECKS AND COUNTERS]

**Ghost types**
Pokémon such as banette can easily take down exeggutor by a shadow claw.Moreover,it can also inflict it with status effects like confuse Ray or thunder wave, making it unable to do anything.

**Dark Types**
Exeggutor has little moves that can hit dark type pokemon very hard. Psychic type attacks are also not affected by dark types so they will definately take the trophie when it comes to meeting exeggutor.

**Ferroseed**
Ferroseed is immune to leech seed, can set up stealth rocks or Spikes, and resists Psyshock from exeggutor.
