Answer 1

Trick Room

Exeggcutor-Alola @ Choice Specs
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spa / 4 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Draco Meteor
- Sludge Bomb
- Flamethrower
- Giga Drain

A simple specs set. Giga Drain keeps you in Battle, and in Trick Room, you can outspeed the Tapus and hit them with Sludge Bomb. Flamethower hits Scizor/Ferrothorn, and Draco Meteor deals with Dragons like Salamence. He suits well in a Trick Room team. Frisk is useful for scouting.

Answer 2

Coconuts (Exeggutor-Alola) @ Wiki Berry/ Aquav Berry/ Haban Berry
Ability: Harvest
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Sassy/ Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe

- Trick Room/ Infestation/ Draco Meteor
- Giga Drain
- Synthesis
- Natural Gift

A lot of choices for this Pokemon! I chose for it to be a special-attacker, making use of its ability Harvest. Natural Gift is a great move on this Pokemon with Harvest along with a Drought user so it restores its berry every turn! A Wiki Berry restores your health by 1/2 at 1/4 HP or less and makes Natural Gift a power 80 Rock-type move, great for Ice, Flying, and Bug-types. Aguav Berry has the same effect but makes Natural Gift a power 80 Dragon-type move, a good STAB, while Haban Berry halves the damage from supereffective Dragon-type moves and makes Natural Gift yet again a power 80 Dragon-type move. Use this with a Toxic Spikes user for great stalling. Giga Drain and Synthesis are for healing and Draco Meteor can be used for STAB and if you decide to use a Wiki Berry on it. If not, you can have Trick Room to outspeed everything or Infestation to wrack up some more damage.

How did you get the model to move like that?

I got it from a now-defunct website known as Pokestadium Sprites, but you can find the same gifs (yeah, the trick is getting a good .gif file) on PKparaíso or https://projectpokemon.org/home/docs/spriteindex_148/3d-models-generation-8-pok%C3%A9mon-r123/ :)

Answer 4

Gen 9 NU Custap Berry Swords Dance

Exeggutor-Alola @ Custap Berry
Ability: Harvest
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 52 HP / 252 Atk / 204 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Endure
- Dragon Hammer
- Earthquake

Alolan Exeggutor is useable in NU once again since it dropped to NU, so here is a Custap Berry Swords Dance set it can use in Gen 9 NU. Swords Dance boosts Alolan Exeggutor's Attack stat, making it a powerful breaker. Endure is used with Custap Berry and Harvest. Endure lets Alolan Exeggutor survive a move that can bring it down to 1/4 or less of its HP. Then, Alolan Exeggutor can consume its Custap Berry to go first against faster Pokemon as long as they don't use a priority move. After using your Custap Berry, Harvest lets Alolan Exeggutor have a 50% chance to get its Custap Berry back. If it doesn't get the Custap Berry back after using Custap Berry to throw off a powerful attack, Alolan Exeggutor can use Endure to have a free turn to get the Custap Berry back should it face a faster Pokemon. Dragon Hammer is used for the Dragon STAB since this set doesn't want to use Outrage due to having to use it for 2-3 turns and the confusion effect it has. Earthquake provides coverage against Steel-types such as Copperajah, Registeel, Lucario, Duraludon, Klefki, as well as Pokemon such as Diancie, Iron Throns, Toxtricity, Chandelure, and Galarian Slowbro. Tera Ground allows Earthquake to become a STAB move and is also useful to be immune to Prankster Thunder Wave shenanigans. 52 HP EVs allow Alolan Exeggutor's HP to be divisble by 4, with the rest of the EVs being used in speed to outspeed slower Pokemon such as Dragalge, Umbreon, and Vileplume.

Careful Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

What's the point of extrasensory? It doesn't cover any weaknesses

Gen 8 RU:
Exeggutor-Alola @ Lum Berry
Ability: Harvest
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Outrage / Dragon Hammer
- Power Whip / Seed bomb / Wood Hammer
- Iron Head
This set is WONDERFUL. It got the Attack stat of 105, which is not that bad for doing a psychical one.
Outrage if you wants a higher power (Which I’ve put the item to Lum berry in case it’s been confused) or Dragon Hammer got fine power with perfect Acc and will not got any bad effect.
Power whip has high power but a 85% acc. Wood hammer got even more power but a 33% recoil damage.Seed Bomb no bad effect and perfect acc, but it’s power has only 80 (although it’s not that bad).
Iron head covers it’s Fairy, ice type two main weaknesses.
-Crystal.Mad.Edison
(trick room setter (e.g. hattrenne, eviolite dusclope) is highly suggest to work with this Pokemon due to its lowwwwww speed.)

Answer 8

Gen 8 ZU

Exeggutor-Alola @ Life Orb
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Flamethrower
- Draco Meteor
- Trick Room
- Teleport

Flamethrower covers Alolan Exeggutor's ice and bug weaknesses, and hits steel types super effectively. Draco Meteor is strong STAB. Trick Room so Alolan Exeggutor can go first and helps with slow Pokémon on your team. Teleport is so you can bring in another Trick Room sweeper saftley.

Answer 9

Gen 8 PU

Exeggutor-Alola @ Choice Specs
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature

• Leaf Storm
• Flamethrower
• Draco Meteor
• Sludge Bomb

Leaf Storm and Draco Meteor are STABs that are incredibly powerful but lower Special Attack. This hit-and-run style is helped by Choice Specs. Flamethrower covers Ice, Bug, and Steel types. Sludge Bomb does good damage and has a nice chance to poison.

Answer 10

Gen 8 PU

Executor-Alola @ Life Orb
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant / Jolly Nature

• Dragon Hammer / Outrage
• Power Whip
• Earthquake
• Swords Dance / Knock Off

Dragon Hammer is STAB. Outrage is stronger but is riskier as it locks you in. Power Whip is powerful grass STAB. Earthquake covers Poison and Steel types. Swords Dance is set-up, Knock Off is coverage and great utility.

Answer 11

Exeggutor-Alola @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Harvest
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
IVs: 0 Spe

- Trick Room

Answer 12

Gen 8 NU

Exeggutor-Alola @ Custap Berry
Ability: Harvest
EVs: 84 HP / 252 Atk / 172 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Endure
- Dragon Hammer
- Power Whip

I didn't come up with this set. Someone else came up with this set. This is a Swords Dance + Custap Berry Endure set. Swords Dance is for boosting your attack. Endure allows you to take a hit and can bring you down to Custap Berry range. Once you consume your Custap Berry, you can act as a "revenge killer" and be able to take out a Pokemon that is faster than you such as Tyrantrum. With Harvest, you have a chance to get a Custap Berry, and can saftley do so with Endure. Dragon Hammer is for dragon STAB, allowing you to deal with Pokemon like Dragalge, Guzzlord, etc. Power Whip is for grass STAB. 252 Attack EVS helps to maximize how much damage you dish out. 172 Speed EVs allow you to outspeed uninvested base 65 speed Pokemon. The rest of the EVs are dumped into HP.

Answer 13

Gen 8 NU

Exeggutor-Alola @ Salac Berry
Ability: Harvest
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
- Power Whip
- Dragon Hammer

A Substitute + Swords Dance set. Substitute allows you to dodge status and knocks you closer to Salac Berry range. Swords Dance is to boost your attack. When you reach the Salac Berry range, you can get a speed boost or two, depending how lucky you are with Harvest. Power Whip is for grass STAB, while Dragon Hammer is for dragon STAB.

Answer 14

Gen 8 NU

Exeggutor-Alola @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Harvest
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Giga Drain / Leaf Storm
- Flamethrower
- Teleport

This is the wallbreaker set Exeggutor-Alola uses in NU. Exeggutor Alola's niche in NU is being able to break through the core of Vaporeon + Ground-type + Steel-type and being able to switch into any kind of team thanks to its Grass / Dragon typing.

Draco Meteor is your strongest Dragon-type move that can dent opposing Pokemon. Giga Drain is for a Grass STAB that allows you to heal off damage, while Leaf Storm is for a high base power Grass STAB. Flamethrower provides coverage that deals super effective damage to Steel-types barring Stakataka and Duraludon. Teleport allows you to generate free momentum since you can easily switch to opposing Pokemon like Mudsdale and Vaporeon. Sitrus Berry alongside Harvest helps you stay in to continue to wallbreak. 252 HP EVs is used to survive a +2 U-turn from Sivally-Ground from full HP even with Stealth Rock up, as shown in this calc:

+2 252 Atk Silvally-Ground U-turn vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Exeggutor-Alola: 282-332 (71.5 - 84.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock

Answer 15

Trick room dynamax

Exeggutor-Alola @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Harvest
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Trick Room
- Flamethrower
- Draco Meteor / Dragon Pulse
- Leaf Storm / Giga Drain
This moveset consists in having both sun and trick room active at the same time, meaning
thanks to sun you will always get back another Sitrus berry every turn so you can constantly heal, and thanks to trick room you will move first. So the strategy here is using Trick Room the first turn and then Dynamaxing, so you can use max flare and get sun. You can also do this strategy in a sun team without dynamaxing, in that case you should use giga drain and Dragon Pulse, if your plan is dynamaxing, you should use Draco Meteor and Leaf Storm.

Answer 16

Exeggutor-Alola @ Firium Z
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Hammer / Draco Meteor
- Bulldoze / Earthquake
- Solar Beam
- Sunny Day

Neither you have to choose Dragon Hammer or Draco Meteor but i'd suggest choosing Draco Meteor. Using Bulldoze/Earthquake can weaken Fire-types. Using Sunny Day is a Weather abuse move that can abuse the usage of Solar Beam because Solar Beam will take another turn to recharge. A fire Z-Crystal can protect you from just a single Ice type Pokemon.

that's kinda dumb, why would you ev train it into sp. atk when you have attacking moves?
