The best moveset for Alolan Exeggutor in Pokemon Go is Dragon Tail, Seed Bomb, and Draco Meteor. Dragon Tail is the optimal Fast Move as it deals much higher damage than Bullet Seed.
When it comes to Charged Moves, you’ll want Seed Bomb for its low cost and ability to bait shields, then Draco Meteor as a powerful finisher that can wipe out almost any opponent with a huge 150 damage.

Is Draco Meteor a good move for Alolan Exeggutor?
The short answer is that Draco Meteor is a great addition for Alolan Exeggutor. It deals the same massive 150 Damage as Solar Beam but only costs 65 Energy, compared to the former’s 80 Energy, making it a much better investment.
Unfortunately, the addition of Draco Meteor can’t save Alolan Exeggutor from being a sub-par Pokemon in the Go Battle League (and it definitely doesn’t help that Draco Meteor lowers the user’s Attack by two stages every time it’s used).

According to PvPoke, Alolan Exeggutor with Draco Meteor ranks 479th in the Great League and 255th in the Ultra League, while its Shadow variation ranks 377th and 278th respectively, which is certainly nothing to write home about.
Alolan Exeggutor’s biggest weakness is probably its typing, which leaves it vulnerable to common Bug, Dragon, Fairy, Flying, Ice, and Poison-type attacks – and it doesn’t have enough bulk to defend itself against them.
It does have double resistance against Water, Electric, and Grass-type attacks that works in its favor, giving key wins against the likes of Swampert and Empoleon, but it’s just not enough to stand out in the current meta.
