Against Vaporeon, BS is on par with Extrasensory. Against Rhydon, BS is superior to Extrasensory. Against Blissey as a generalist, BS is far behind Extrasensory.

Thank you I'm wondering more about vape and Rhydon because I use machamp for blissey.

From the DPS charts I use: (100% is SC/ShB Gengar with no SE)

against Vape:

BS/SoB: 117.54%
C/SoB: 115.61%
Es/SoB: 110.30%

against Rhydon:

BS/SoB: 164.55%
C/SoB: 145.34%
Es/SoB: 140.30%

neutral matchup:

BS/SoB: 83.96%
C/SoB: 94.38%
Es/SoB: 89.07%

Id say as a counter where Grass is SE, BS is noticably better.

from the spreadsheet:

I used a couple of fast TM's to get BS on my Exeggutors. I prefer to use Eggys than Venusaurs since they are far more easier to evolve and obtain plus they hit a lot harder considering the difference between their stats. The only Exeggutors I kept were Confusion ones. As a grass specialist, I'd say it's better obviously since they changed the multipliers for SE and STAB. Nevertheless... Confusion is arguably better than ES anyway.

This is one of those questions I seriously don't understand why people post? Are you trolling or do you now get your own question?
How can Exeggcuter be a GRASS SPECIALIST if Extrasensory is not even a GRASS type move? Bullet seed is GRASS so clearly it will be better as far as GRASS SPECIALIST goes; that is if you don't have Psychic as your Charged move either .

I asked because I wasn't sure if EXTRASENSORY outperformed BULLET SEED even when BS got SE. Or if the difference was minuscule and it wasn't worth the TM. Sorry not everyone knows everything you know. When I don't know something I ask, and thankfully I have found most people on this discussion board to be helpful. It's very rare I find someone with a stick stuck up their ass like you.
