Psychic Exeggutor
Just evolved my 5th Exeggcute to get an Exeggutor with Zen Headbutt and Psychic. According to this site, that's a B grade moveset and by far the best I've got so far. I'm looking for a grass destroyer. Would he be worth powering up?

It depends on what you want to use your Exeggutor for. If you want to kill grass mons, ZH/P is the best possible moveset. In fact, ZH/P is a really good all-around moveset for attacking (the only downside is that you don't have a grass special attack, so taking out Vaporeons will be a bit harder).
That all said, I can't help but think that Arcanine would be a better grass counter, what with his slightly higher DPS coupled with fire type attacks that are also super effective against grass.
I have a 2450 ZH/Psychic that is about 78%IV. He's very good at taking down water pokemons.
All depends on how much dust and candies you have. I also put him in gyms as a defender all the time. Yeah the moveset might not be the best for atk or def but he does well overall.
I have another ZH/SB at about 1700 that I'm not sure what to do with as I always use my 2450 guy for attacking if he isn't in a gym.
I don't mind the Pyschic charge move for attacking. Builds up quickly and can use it quite often if you want.
Well, just by looking at the DPS listed on the site, I'd have to say SB is a clear winner over Psychic when attacking into water mons: the former does 35.71 DPS even without super effective typing (including the type advantage would raise the DPS against water mons to 44.64), whereas the latter only does 28.93 DPS. In other words, having SB means you'd be 1.5x better than having Psychic. Of course, there are some downsides to SB, including the difficulty of dodging while using the attack and the fact that there can be some overkill if you use SB on a mon that's almost fainted anyway, but in a vacuum at least there's a clear choice.
