Overview
To the annoyance of many, Alolan Exeggutor was promoted from a tier 2 to a tier 4 raid boss. Though it will require a partner to beat, Alolan Exeggutor competes with Absol for the easiest boss in the tier. It suffers from a crippling double weakness to Ice in addition to the bread and butter Dragon generalists that many already have.
Approach
Team composition
-
Against Seed Bomb and Solar Beam sets, Dragons are highly effective
-
Select Ice counters have higher DPS, but they don’t resist Exeggutor-A
Dodging strategy
-
Exeggutor-A can hit hard, but re-entering is fine if using strong counters
Note: "Good" movesets are not necessarily viable at the level indicated.
