  1. [color=red][size=3][b]WORSE THAN CONTROL REVERSAL[/color][/size][/b]

  3. I don’t know why you thought it was a good idea to make a moveset for a character you obviously hated so much. Your opinion of the character comes through regularly with how you characterize him, as nothing but a gigantic idiot who crushes people with a wooden “butt” he apparently has. Yes, the Pokedex says one of Exeggutor’s heads will sometimes fall off of him and become an Exeggcute, but that’s blatantly not a common occurrence (Even the Pokedex says as much), much less how he would fight. Him doing this voluntarily is bizarre, and I assume you say that Exeggutor instantly regenerates a new head to replace the old one or that the Exeggcute just poofs into existence. Exeggutor then proceeds to horribly abuse the Exeggcutes he creates, usually by crushing them to death. The Exeggcutes aren’t just Exeggutor’s babies, they’re his former fellow heads, he blatantly would not abuse them in such a fashion. The Pokedex you used to “justify” this also says that the heads “get along and never squabble”.

  5. On the other side of the spectrum, the Exeggcutes hypnotize Exeggutor (not foes of course), abusing him just as much to enter some bizarre control scheme. Even though Exeggutor levitates himself with his bair, you force him to make use of Exeggcutes in order to have a levitation based recovery, giving Exeggutor a generic stomp for his Up Special recovery despite filling having tons of other generic stomps throughout the moveset. Based off how you have the eggs hypnotize the tree, you make the eggs look like the “brains” while the tree is some idiot who accidentally murders them. Portraying the relationship this way is pretty offensive when the eggs need a group of five or six in order to even be on par with other Pokemon. When one head falls off the tree, it goes out of its way to search for others due to how helpless it is. The evolution fuses some of the eggs together, and given his psychic type presumably uses the heads to give him greater intelligence. The eggs don’t even have Exeggutor do anything after they hypnotize him, they just become the primary playable character as a terrible excuse to implement a bad control scheme.
  6.  
  7. You are so determined to portray Exeggutor as a comic relief dumb brute that you give him access to moves he doesn’t have to make him more of a bruiser. The Pokemon Syndrome in this set is some of the worst I’ve seen, to the point I have to break it down move by move.
  8.  
  9. [list][*]Hypnosis exclusively on Exeggutor, not able to hypnotize enemies. Sleep Powder isn’t in here either, and he doesn’t apply any of the other grass status effects. It feels weird compared to what you do put in.
  10. [*]Kinesis is an exclusive move to Alakazam, and is called “Spoon Bend” in the original translation. You use this move in order to do generic levitation and ignore its effect. Not every move needs to be named after a Pokemon move, if anything, you should go out of your way to avoid it less you end up with crap like this. This move is also used to levitate Exeggutor with the smaller eggs, when Exeggutor is more powerful and should be able to do it himself. If anything, I’m baffled that Exeggutor can’t levitate the eggs around with the dumb interpretation you’ve chosen for this character.
  11. [*]Synthesis is a relatively harmless move for flavor (still an egg move), but rather than having Exeggutor synthesize himself, you have the eggs do it when they’re the ones who don’t need to heal. The eggs can then somehow “transfer the sunlight telepathically” to Exeggutor…I don’t know what you think telepathy is, but that isn’t even remotely close to how it works.
  12. [*]Pound, Quash, and Take Down are moves Exeggutor does not learn. If you hadn’t used up all of the moves Exeggutor needs for an actual moveset on the stupid eggs, you might have something leftover to put on these moves instead of this brutish crap. If you really want to have Exeggutor fall over like an idiot, it doesn’t have to be named after an arbitrary move.
  13. [*]Exeggutor does not learn Razor Leaf or Magical Leaf. I don’t think these are that stupid of moves to give him, but again the Exeggcutes are required for some reason to turn razor leaves into magical leaves through some cryptic arcane process. You are consistently portraying them as superior to the tree, who is dumb muscle.
  14. [*]I don’t know what could have possibly made you think Earthquake would be acceptable. If you want an especially heavy Pokemon that isn’t Ground type like Hariyama or something to make some small earthshaking hitboxes by stomping, that’s one thing, but you wouldn’t call it Earthquake.
  15. [*]He doesn’t learn Thrash, Jump Kick, or Body Slam. He does learn Double-Edge, but largely everything learns that and it’s an excuse for you to put in another move where he crushes people. Even if he did learn Body Slam, falling feet first in a stall then fall certainly does not remotely constitute a “body slam”, that’d be the stupid dashing attack you had earlier. Jump Kick is learned by a whole 8 Pokemon and originated as a Hitmonelee signature move – it’s supposed to be something agile, not something a fat tree is forced to clumsily perform.
  16. [*]Telekinesis is learnable, but when you finally cave and have Exeggutor levitate himself here, it’s on the bair instead of a recovery input.
  17. [*]When you have multiple levitation moves, I don’t know why you decided to make Psychic, the most common strong move of the type, a generic grab that does no damage.
  18. [*]He doesn’t learn Psywave, Wring Out, or Slam. Not every move needs to arbitrarily be named after a new Pokemon move.
  19. [*]He doesn’t get the Synchronize ability, and that ability (It makes it so whenever the user gets hit with a status condition, the enemy gets one too) has nothing to do with the throw. You have Exeggutor spin around stupidly like a ballerina because you find it amusing or something.
  20. [*]Psycho Boost is the signature move of Deoxys. Not just a signature move, a signature move of a Legendary Pokemon.
  21. [*]Beat up remotely resembles what you said, but you don’t have to arbitrarily name the attack after this Dark type move he doesn’t get just to have eggs generically jump on the enemy.
  22. [*]They don’t learn Vine Whip, and vines are not part of the Pokemon’s model.
  23. [*]You seem to be applying Pokemon move names almost at complete random with Acupressure.[/list]
  24.  
  25. The actual playstyle is just a handful of moves that launch eggs with a bunch of physical moves thrown in, as FA detailed back when the moveset was originally commented. The moveset’s ranking image is what it is because you would probably enjoy an image that is insulting to Exeggutor, given how much you hate the character.
