Kokowei Movesets & Wettbewerbs-Sets

Set Details Flamethrower pummels pesky Steel-types that wall both of Alolan Exeggutor's STAB moves like Copperajah, Escavalier, and Silvally-Steel. Teleport does force Alolan Exeggutor to move last, but it prevents special walls like Sylveon and Snorlax from exploiting Alolan Exeggutor and taking the momentum. Harvest and Sitrus Berry allow for more pivoting opportunities. Because Alolan Exeggutor often forces switches on what it comes in on, Harvest reproducing a new Sitrus Berry is incredibly likely, making it very hard to whittle down with chip damage. Teammates that can take advantage of Teleport like Toxicroak, Salazzle, and Passimian are appreciated to handle the likes of Sylveon and Stakataka. Physical wallbreakers that appreciate Vaporeon and Mudsdale being gone, like Silvally-Ground and Tauros, work as great teammates too. Silvally-Ground forms a VoltTurn core with Alolan Exeggutor and they deal with each other's checks. For example, Silvally-Ground can handle Stakataka for it. Poison-types like Salazzle and Toxicroak effortlessly outspeed and OHKO Alolan Exeggutor with their respective STAB moves. Therefore, a partner like Diancie or Talonflame, respectively, works to patch up this weakness. Pokemon with Ice-type coverage like Starmie and Inteleon offensively pressure Alolan Exeggutor with its 4x weakness to Ice. Vaporeon, Snorlax, and Copperajah are examples of teammates that can eat up such moves with ease. Vaporeon provides much-needed Wish passing to Alolan Exeggutor to make up for its mediocre Speed tier.

Moves Draco Meteor is an incredibly powerful STAB move, hitting most Pokemon that don't resist it hard, but its steep stat reduction upon use and inability to hit prevalent Fairy-types such as Comfey and Whimsicott make it difficult to spam repeatedly. Leaf Storm is Alolan Exeggutor's Grass-type STAB attack, being just as powerful as Draco Meteor, but it also lowers Alolan Exeggutor's Special Attack, which can allow setup sweepers such as Incineroar and Braviary to take advantage of it. Flamethrower rounds off Alolan Exeggutor's coverage, dealing super effective damage to Pokemon that resist its STAB moves such as Steel-types like Klinklang and Silvally-Steel as well as Whimsicott. Giga Drain is Alolan Exeggutor's most consistent form of damage output due to its lack of a downside, serving as a recovery option that's able to heal off a lot of damage against targets such as Vaporeon. Set Details Maximum Special Attack investment topped with a Modest nature enables Alolan Exeggutor to be as powerful of a wallbreaker as possible. With maximum Speed investment, Alolan Exeggutor is able to outpace Pokemon up to uninvested base 75s such as Garbodor and Vaporeon. Frisk is Choice Specs Alolan Exeggutor's only viable ability, providing use in scouting for foes' items. Choice Specs allows Alolan Exeggutor to become much more threatening of a wallbreaker. Usage Tips Bring in Alolan Exeggutor whenever possible against defensive teams, as its wallbreaking capabilities are especially threatening to slower teams. Doing this frequently will enable Alolan Exeggutor's teammates to sweep much more easily. Pokemon such as Steelix, Torterra, and Palossand pose minimal threats to Alolan Exeggutor, and as such they can be used as a solid opportunity to fire off an attack. Rhydon and the aforementioned Steelix and Torterra are common Stealth Rock leads that can be easily exploited due to their poor Speed and weaknesses to Alolan Exeggutor's moves. Against offensive teams, switching in should be achieved by pivots, as this enables Alolan Exeggutor to gain the best matchup possible without taking excessive amounts of damage. Specific pivots such as Xatu and Passimian can be utilized to lure in Pokemon for Alolan Exeggutor to take advantage of such as Rhydon and Vaporeon. Alolan Exeggutor can also directly switch into bulky Water-types like Slowking and Pyukumuku, as they pose little threat to it as long as the former is not carrying Ice Beam. Because of its poor Speed, Alolan Exeggutor is highly dependent on prediction to maximize damage output. For instance, use Flamethrower if you feel that a Steel-type such as Klinklang or Silvally-Steel will attempt to take one of Alolan Exeggutor's other attacks. Be cautious of what Alolan Exeggutor locks itself into, as each of its moves can be exploited by certain Pokemon. Draco Meteor and Leaf Storm's stat reduction is often an invitation for setup sweepers such as Incineroar and Decidueye, as is Draco Meteor in general to Fairy-types such as Whimsicott and Comfey. Team Options Late-game cleaners and sweepers such as Sneasel, Heliolisk, and Choice Scarf Passimian highly appreciate Alolan Exeggutor's ability to dent walls with its powerful STAB moves. Slow pivots such as Xatu and Incineroar ensure that Alolan Exeggutor is able to be brought in safely; both of these examples are notably able to lure in Pokemon such as Rhydon. Conversely, faster pivots such as Passimian and Braviary are able to lure in physically bulky Pokemon such as Steelix and Palossand. Alolan Exeggutor has solid offensive synergy with Fire-, Fighting-, and Steel-types like Incineroar, Medicham, and Klinklang due to their ability to take on various Ice-, Steel-, and Fairy-type threats to Alolan Exeggutor, and the weakening or removal of these threats allows Alolan Exeggutor to more freely spam its STAB moves. In return, Alolan Exeggutor can deal high damage to physically inclined walls such as Rhydon and Palossand. Entry hazard setters such as Steelix, Rhydon, and Garbodor are able to whittle at the opposition, which aids Alolan Exeggutor in wallbreaking. For instance, having Stealth Rock up ensures that Draco Meteor will always OHKO Golbat. Miltank and Piloswine are notable Stealth Rock setters, as they're able to switch into powerful Ice-type attacks for Alolan Exeggutor thanks to Thick Fat.
