Best Pokemon for fighting against Exeggutor

Considered one of the toughest Pokemon in terms of defense and HP, combined with the fact that his evolution line is not really that hard to find. Exeggutor is one of the Pokemon commonly found defending Gyms.

• The combination of Zen Headbutt and Solar Beam is considered the best moveset for Exeggutors attacking Gyms.

• This combination of Confusion and Solar Beam is the optimal moveset for Exeggutor defending Gyms.

Tyranitar's dual Rock/Dark typing leaves him with a lot of weaknesses, namely Flying, Fire, Bug, Ghost, Dark, Poison and Ice. Use these types of attacks to gain an advantage during battle. Bug is especially effective, since it is a double weakness for Exeggutor, a Pokemon with Megahorn would deal exceedingly large damage to Exeggutor.

Choosing Bug-type Pokemon which are resistant to Grass and Psychic-types is recommended as these are the types of attack exeggutor primarily use. Additionally Bug-type deals the most damage to Exeggutor. Alternatively, you can choose a strong Fire-type pokemon to fight Exeggutor, so that you resist his best charged attack Solar Beam, while also dealing super effective damage.
