SubSeed Exeggutor:
Exeggutor (M) @ Leftovers
- Psychic
- Substitute
- Leech Seed
- Stun Spore/Sleep Powder/Reflect
This is actually a pretty good curse counter (not counting Curseskarm and Cursegon2, for obvious reasons). Seed+Sub allows Eggy to waste pp and regain HP, and psychic is always good (plus it's STAB, duh). Pick a 4th move and go. Stun Spore is the first option since you're bound to be met with Sleep Talking Kou/Zapdos when you send this out anyways. Reflect helps to stall the cursers and helps your team.
Standardish Exeggutor:
Exeggutor (M) @ Leftovers
- Psychic
- Leech Seed
- Giga Drain
- Sleep Powder/Explosion
Giga Drain is here since you're gonna send this in on a Rhydon Earthquake anyways. Giga Drain helps Eggy to beat back TTar and to win vs. Starmie/Cloy (while gaining back HP). Explosion can be a nasty surprise when you're ready to go.
Other Options:
Moonlight/Synthesis, Nightmare, Psych Up, Solarbeam (lol), Thief, Toxic
Moonlight/Synth get mention because recovery is always good (preferably over Leech Seed usually), Nightmare can be a surprise to Resttalking Zapdos/Raikou. Psych Up + Leech Seed could annoy the hell out of Curselax. Solarbeam should only be on Sunny Day teams, because 348 sp attack using a 120 base power move is nothing to sneeze at, just don't get smoked by Fire blast. Thief will most likely snag Zapdos' or Snorlax's Leftovers, and Toxic can force things to rest (esp. if used w/ Leech Seed).
Opinion:
One of the best Psychics in the game, and one of the best grasses. A good rhydon counter, and he hits damn hard w/ Psychic. He can even be a decent Curselax counter w/ Leech Seed and Sub. There aren't too many safe switches, since special walls can get exploded on, physical walls can get slept/psychic'd/seeded, and most things in between get hit hard.
Counters:
Since Heracross usually resttalks anyways, it can afford to switch into a potential psychic and Megahorn the hell out of Egg. Meganium kinda stalls out Eggy since he can't seed it (but can toxic it). Skarmory, Zapdos, and Raikou are some of the better counters, and TTar counters non-Giga Drain Eggys. Jynx gets honorable mention, unless it gets seeded.
