Slowbro and Exeggutor

Got some Slowbro's and Exeggutors I'm most likely going to power up in acouple levels just not sure which ones are more viable for attacking or defending gyms and which has a better moveset.

Slowbro's:
• 1522cp 80% WG/P
• 1509cp 80% CF/WP
• 1404cp 91% CF/IB
• 1334cp 93% WG/P
• 1229cp 67% CF/P

Exeggutors:
• 1934cp 76% CF/P
• 1889cp 91% ZH/SB
• 1838cp 69% ZH/P
• 1713cp 87% CF/P
• 1626cp 82% ZH/SoB

I do also have another exeggutor that's 87% but I'm maxing him out regardless since he has CF and SoB. Candy isn't a issue either got 900 exeggcute candy and 460 slowpoke candy so let me hear your guys feedback and thanks.

I'm not a Slowbro expert so I'll just give you my 2 cents on Eggy.

Psychic has been nerfed so I do not advise powering up those with P. ZH/SeB has no real use. Considering you have an awesome C/SoB which is a great defender (and can also help for attacking), you can safely power up your last one with ZH/SoB which is a good attacker.

I personally wouldn't power up any of those...Yet. Unless you just have plenty of dust as well as candy, I'd save the dust for defenders with a Max CP of at least 2800. Until we get PvP, theres just no reason to power up attackers. If I have to choose I'd say the 91% Egg. At max in a low CP gym he could be a viable defender. Now the best defensive moveset but withe the updated mechanics those big charge moves are a little harder to dodge than they used to be.

If you want an attacker slow power the 93%, if you wan't a defender do the 91%. In the eggy case power up the 87% for defense and as a very nice legacy mon, but for attacking it is probably better wait for an extrasensory guy.

I don't really understand the hype around ES vs ZH. They have almost the same stats (same DPS, same CD, ES has just slightly better EPS: 10.xx vs 9.xx for ZH).

I have both ZH/SoB and ES/SoB and tbh there is no real difference when it comes to attacking gyms.

They are the same thing but ex have more eps, so unless exeggcute is rare in your area there is no point on not using the ex one.

Agreed ZH is still just as good dps wise as extra sensory not too big of a difference besides the EPS which still isn't much.

The 91% Slowbro is the only one you should power up. That 69% Exeggutor is too low iv. The others are alright. I would prioritize the one with Zen Headbutt and Solar Beam. The others in order of decreasing iv

Thank you for the feedback and yeah I should of said I'm probably only would of powered up the ones that were 80% or higher unless one of the lower iv ones had a good moveset.

One quick comment. While some people say Psychic has been 'nerfed' it is actually pretty good on defense as it comes very quickly and difficult to dodge. It might not be the "best" option but it is very good for defense IMO. At least for now until people get used to dodging it.

I got hit a few times with it today and I was trying to dodge. Need more practice. And it hits pretty hard when you miss the dodge.

True but while Psychic has been nerfed, SeB and SoB have been buffed. That is why I'm saying that they are now the optimal defensive ones (combined with Confusion).

But Psychic is still a good move with no doubt ;-)

1500-1900CP is a great range for prestiging! Ice Beam is so good against Dragonites as it charges really fast.

I really like Slowbros and Exeg. for defense, I think that even when attacking them with the right typing, they hurt much more than Gyarados or especially Rhydon, which are so easy to attack into. But, their CP won't get you up on the gym ladder unfortunately.
