Strategy:
Erica's Exeggcute is much like the
other evolving Basics I've examined: 50HP and some pretty good attacks.
50HP is enough, and Reflect can come in handy. Egg Bomb hurts
sometimes, but only half the time, and 40 damage for 1 Grass and 1 Colorless
is excellent. The retreat of 1 is good too.
Erica's Exeggcutor has a strong 70HP
and a strong and reliable attack in Stomp. The thing about him,
though, is Psy Exchange. Unless you use Gambler as a stall, say
goodbye to the dice. Psy Exchange allows you to shuffle your hand into
your dekc and draw 5 cards, which can be very useful. I still think if
you want card drawing that Oak is better, but is you don't like to
discard...
Strengths:
Erica's Exeggcute has good HP and Egg
Bomb is good; Erica's Exeggcutor has a strong attack that does 30-40 damage
for 1 Grass and 2 Colorless and Psy Exchange is great in some situations.
Weaknesses:
Fire kills them, one Fire Punch and
PlusPower from the Base Magmar and he's dead. Also Exeggcutor has an
annoying Retreat Cost of 2.
Conclusion:
He might be the solution to the Team
Rocket Expansion Evil Vileplume, which stops any player from playing
Trainers. Psy Exchange can draw without help of a Trainer. Note:
I think that unless the opposing player gets Evil Vileplume first or second
turn, a Haymaker/Raindance will still kill it because of it's low 60HP but
that's for another time.
