Exeggutor: is it worth TM'ing Seed Bomb?

93%IV
Extrasensory + Seed Bomb

Is it worth using a charge TM and trying to roll Solar Beam?

Missing key evidence, so I won't answer: what level Exeggutor, how many charge TMs do you currently have, what purpose do you want it for?

Its lvl 20.

I want it partly because i don't have a high lvl good IV SoB Eggy.

Also im currently trying to get a team that can solo Machamp. Already got a C/P one at lvl 31ish but feel i could use a 2nd in my lineup

Only got 1 charged TM because they dont bother dropping for me

Why when he could end up with seed bomb?

If he uses a charge TM on one that has ES + Seed Bomb he's guaranteed a better move. Psychic is great for Machamp, Solar Beam is still decent vs Machamp but also amazing vs types weak to grass.

yeah, prob not gonna take the chance on rolling my current C/P one.

As I said, using them for Machamp is one of the main reasons, and double psychic is good against him.

And I feel like I need a 2nd, so i wanna get another one to go along with my C/P one already.

You know your lineup better than me, my pokedex says I've "caught" 45 exeggutors, plus I have 250 candies. If you really only have 1 at 2400+ and you have stored stardust (although very limited TMs), pretty much anyone would agree having 3+ operational exeggutors a good idea

I would honestly do a couple more egg raids before I used my last tm. See what you get.

Eggy raids show up every day and can be solo-ed easily. And once defeated, they can be easily caught. I've got basically a 100% success rate on catching Eggys after raids.

If the Eggy you're talking about is only level 20, you're better off trying to do Eggy raids until you get a better moveset. Even if a raid gets you a BS-SoB eggy, you're better off Fast TMing that than trying to Charge TM your ES-SeBo one.

Are you using it for raids? I prefer seed bomb in favor of solar beam because I notice more that when I use my ZH/SoB beam exeggutor, I get KO'd when I am either in the animation of solar beam (requires 4.9s? ~3s into the animation it deals damage) or when I have a fair amount of energy built up. In these situations seed bomb would be more effective. Also less than half the cooldown compared to solar beam helps with dodging many charge moves

No L20 Eggy is worth a TM while he is still a L2 raid boss. If he was L27+, you might be able to make a case for it.
