The best moves to teach Alolan Exeggutor in Pokémon Go

Alolan Exeggutor is a Dragon and Grass-type Pokémon. It will be weak against Bug, Dragon, Fairy, Fly, Ice, and Poison-type moves, but it is resistant against Electric, Grass, Ground, and Water-type attacks. It has a decent amount of attack and stamina, but it lacks a heavy defense, leaving it vulnerable to being overwhelmed during a battle.

These are all the moves you can teach Alolan Exeggutor in Pokémon Go.

All Alolan Exeggutor Fast Moves in Pokémon G

  • Bullet Seed (Grass-type) – 5 damage and 4.3 energy (1.6 damage per turn) – 3 turns
  • Dragon Tail (Dragon-type) – 13 damage and 3 energy (4.3 damage per turn) – 3 turns

There are only two choices to pick from for Alolan Exeggutor’s fast move. Between the two choices, Dragon Tail is the superior option, despite not providing as much energy as Bullet Seed. The difference is Dragon Tail provides more overall damage than Bullet Seed, and the two are close enough in energy output that the decision makes sense.

All Alolan Exeggutor Charged Attacks in Pokémon Go

  • Draco Meteor (Dragon-type) – 150 damage and 65 energy (100% chance to lower user’s attack by two ranks)
  • Dragon Pulse (Dragon-type) – 90 damage and 60 energy
  • Seed Bomb (Grass-type) – 55 damage and 40 energy
  • Solar Beam (Grass-type) – 150 damage and 80 energy

Next, we have Alolan Exeggutor’s charged attacks. There are twice as many choices to make here, and you can select two from this particular pool. Your best choices among these options are going to be Seed Bomb and Draco Meteor. Seed Bomb is an excellent quick-fire charged attack that you can use often enough to attempt an opponent to waste a shield. However, you can sit on this attack and throw out Draco Meteor, unleashing a massive amount of damage. Unfortunately, it does come with a debuff.

The best moveset for you to go with for Alolan Exeggutor is the fast move Dragon Tail and the charged attacks Draco Meteor and Seed Bomb.

Although Alolan Exeggutor is not the go-to option for many of the PvP scenes, it’s an extremely reliable PvE Pokémon. It’s the perfect choice to use against Team Rocket or to use when you want to fight against any local three-star or select five-star raids.
