Recommended attack types

FlyingFireBug
GhostDarkPoison
Ice

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 Pokemon

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.

I would think that Scyther would be the ultimate pokemon to take out Exeggutor. The combination of being a bug and flying pokemon, both resistant to grass types, while using bug and dark attacks, which are super effective against grass and psychic types respectively, means that you're giving increased damage while receiving very little. Other good pokemon would be a high level Butterfree (bug/flying) that only had bug attacks, Pinser with bug attacks and Parasect has already been mentioned. Do you see a theme here, go with the bug.
Papercut
Parasect is fantastic for beating Exeggutor as long as it has two bug attacks. Bug is very effective against both psychic and grass (meaning double attack bonus), while bug/grass typing makes it resist psychic and double resist grass attacks. I have a maxed Parasect at about 1,350 and it can easily defeat Exeggutors over 2,200 with some good dodging.
