I’m sure if you have looked at gyms around your area, you’ve seen at least 1 Vaporeon. If you decided to fight it, you probably noticed how strong it was. If you want more details, check out my article on why Vaporeon is so strong.
Luckily, Exeggutor is a great choice to take Vaporeon down. It is a Grass type, so it takes less damage from Vaporeon, and good stats and CP as well.
Tree of Pain
Exeggutor is a Grass/Psychic Pokemon that evolves from Exeggcute after obtaining 50 candy.
It is weak to Fire, Flying, Poison, Ice, Bug, Ghost, and Dark attacks, and resistant to Water, Electric, Grass, Ground, Fighting, and Psychic. It is strong against Water, Rock, and Ground.
The stats could vary slightly, but it gives a good target number to keep in mind. Stamina affects how much health a Pokemon gets.
Stats
Max CP - 2955 Base Attack - 232 Base Defense - 164 Base Stamina - 190
The CP is very high, and it has a high attack. It’s stamina isn’t as high, but it still pretty good.
The Power of Grass (but mostly Psychic)
Exeggutor can only have Psychic primary moves, but can get Grass or Psychic secondary moves. Below is the list of moves it can learn.
Primary
Confusion (Psychic) - 15 damage/10 DPS (Damage Per Second) STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) - raises it to 12 DPS Zen Headbutt (Psychic) - 12 damage/11 DPS STAB - 14 DPS
Secondary
Psychic (Psychic) - 55 damage/20 DPS STAB - 25 DPS Seed Bomb - 40 damage/17 DPS STAB - 21 DPS Solar Beam - 120 damage/24 DPS STAB - 31 DPS
Since you can keep tapping for the primary move and have to hold for the secondary, primary moves are usually the ones to use.
If you are going to use a charged, Solar Beam will be the best against Vaporeon. Psychic does the most overall damage, so it is up to you to decide whether or not you want 2 Psychic moves.
That wraps up the 1st week for Pokemon GO Super Effective Files. Let me know of any you would like to see in the future!
