PvE Analysis

The Shadow boost has pushed Alolan Exeggutor into the realm of actual viability. The added damage output combined with its great typing for relevant raids makes it an outstanding choice for many raids weak to Grass, as it sports an outstanding mix of DPS and TDO against select movesets. As a Dragon it's... okay, but still very far behind the competition.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

  • Dragon Tail is the stronger Fast Move, and should pair with Draco Meteor* for the maximum amount of Dragon Type damage output that a tree can muster.

  • Bullet Seed should pair with Solar Beam. This is especially useful against Water Types, as Alolan Exeggutor's double Water resistance can frequently afford it the time that it needs to launch multiple Solar Beams... unless the Water Type in question is packing an Ice Type coverage move.

  • Seed Bomb can also work for more consistent damage, but it will tend to fall behind by all metrics given the reasoning outlined above.

  • Dragon Pulse is inferior, but can be used if you don't have access to Draco Meteor.

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

  • Dragon Tail is rather strong and hits widely for neutral damage.

  • Seed Bomb is the most threatening defensive charge move, firing early and often on top of being hard to dodge.

  • Dragon Pulse's 2 bars is workable, but using Solar Beam is out of the question.
  • Likewise, the slow animation of Draco Meteor and slow access as a 1-bar move makes it a poor choice for defense. 

PvP Analysis

Dragon Tail typically performs better than Bullet Seed due to the significant difference in damage output. 

Seed Bomb is the main charge move used by Alolan Exeggutor, requiring only 40 energy which allows it to be used frequently and even bait shields. 

Dragon Pulse allows our tall dragon tree to deal relatively neutral damage and threaten other Dragon-type Pokemon. Its steep energy cost and average Damage Per Energy aren't very exciting, but at least it might have a chance to be used compared to the painfully slow Solar Beam

The addition of Draco Meteor following the Exeggcute Research Day event in April 2022 is a surprising but unimpressive move for Alolan Exeggutor. While it can be considered an improvement over Dragon Pulse due to much higher damage output for only 5 more energy cost, it does not solve Alolan Exeggutor's struggle against its numerous weaknesses. 

Great League2 / 5

Alolan Exeggutor is somewhat of a specialist, getting wins against Pokemon that are at an obvious disadvantage, and vice-versa. Being double resistant to three typings (Grass, Electric, Water) allows our long-necked friend to essentially tank those types of attacks without using shields. Poor bulk doesn't help it deal with six vulnerabilities though, including a double weakness to Ice-type attacks which are common on popular picks like Medicham and Azumarill. 

Ultra League 1.5 / 5

Alolan Exeggutor gets to benefit more from its high Attack stat here, but the role it fulfills is similar to Great League, picking on victims weak to its typing, while getting bullied by the rest. The lack of bulk, and losses against almost all of the big names in Ultra League limit our tall tree from growing any further in rank. 

Master League0 / 5

Just like the other leagues, Alolan Exeggutor does well in what it specializes in: dealing with Grass, Water, and Electric Pokemon — all of which, however, aren't the most common in the Master League. It does get some wins against certain top picks like Raikou, and even walls Kyogre if it uses at least one shield against a potential Blizzard. Against the rest of the big bois, you're not one of them Greg.
