Exeggutor with 2 grass moves
I just rolled 2 grass moves bs and seed bomb for 100% IV Exeggutor (hatched) and am wondering if I should power up as an attacker versus vaporeon? I have been hoping for 2 grass moves on my last few evolutions but am now 2nd guessing myself
1) Will my 96 IV zh/solar beam or 96 IV zh/seed bomb actually deal more damage to vaporeon even though they aren't 2 grass moves?
2) I have several 91% IV exeggecute
So should I roll for bs/solar beam? Does bs/solar beam actually deliver 27% more damage as stated on another site?
I do like using seed bomb instead of solar beam because it makes dodging charge attacks a little easier for me so may be the worst roll in the world
Any input/insight would be much appreciated!

Actually it seems like seed bomb does marginaly better than Solar Beam (I checkd on pokebattler), the parameters I used are as following:
lvl 30, 100 IV, Only dodge specials (PRO), vs an AT Vaporeon, same level, same IV's, the results are as following:
BS/SeB: 97 Hp Remainig, 28.2 s
ZH/SeB: 97 Hp Remainig, 28.3 s
ZH/SoB: 93 Hp Remainig, 29.7 s
BS/SoB: 97 Hp Remainig, 28.6 s
If you don't dodge at all, SoB is actually better, but if you dodge even just specials, the difference is almost non existent.
100% Exeggutor at level 20 is 1666cp. It is a little bit high for the ideal 1000 prestige, but try it out for prestige against a Vaporeon before deciding if you want to power it up.
Bullet Seed charges 14 energy per attack, and Seed Bomb costs 33 energy, so you will be able to use a charge move after every two to three quick moves.
But if there are several Vapes in a row (or Rhydon) as is the case in my local gyms, then 1 Exegg that can start a 2nd round with a SoB blast is sweet! I actually prefer prestiging with stronger PKM because if my dodging is OK and lag is not too bad, I might get though 2+ battles, earning well over 1000 prestige for that 1 revive.
