Ghost moves don't affect Exeggutor at all — that's the advantage of Grass/Psychic typing. It relies on good prediction to keep up. Known as the Coconut Pokemon. The stat spread leans into special offense.

Special and HP carry most of Exeggutor's stat budget. Speed's the obvious dump stat. Tough to catch and yields 2 Special stat exp. Follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.

Exeggutor Weakness

Avg

Exeggutor's Grass/Psychic typing leaves it vulnerable to Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug moves. It shrugs off Ghost-type attacks completely. With 6 resistances, the defensive profile is strong. Exeggutor's special bulk (base 125 Special) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

  • Only 15 types exist — Dark, Steel, and Fairy are absent

  2. Exeggutor
    Step 2Exeggutor ✓

  • We rate Exeggutor S-Tier — one of the best competitive options available. At 580 BST, it fits the wallbreaker role. Base 125 Special stands out.

  • Watch for Arcanine (Fire), Lapras (Ice), and Nidoking (Poison) when using Exeggutor. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Flying and Bug-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. Exeggutor has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.

  • Exeggcute evolves into Exeggutor using a Leaf Stone. Exeggutor is the final evolution in a 3-stage line starting from Exeggcute. With 580 BST, it's a powerhouse in its final form.

  • At base 55 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Exeggutor is a special attacker with base 125 Special. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits. Best used as a wallbreaker.

  • Exeggutor appears in 20 games, including Yellow, Red & Blue, and Gold & Silver.

Since debuting in Red & Blue, Exeggutor has appeared in 20 titles over 9 generations. Along the way, it received an Alolan form in Generation 7, keeping it relevant across different competitive metas.
