Stats & Training
Exeggcute's spread isn't flashy. Defense leads, Attack trails, 1 stats clear the bar. Moderately hard to find and worth 1 Defense EV, on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
Six of them form a single Pokémon. Should one of the six be lost, the next morning there will once more be six.
Although they are the same size as other Exeggcute, the ones produced in Alola are quite heavy. Their shells are packed full.
Exeggcute Weakness
Type-wise, Exeggcute takes extra damage from Bug, Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Ghost, and Dark. Watch out for Bug attacks, those deal 4x damage. 6 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Exeggcute's physical bulk (base 80 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Bug |
| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Ghost, Dark |
