Stats & Training
Sp. Atk leads and Speed gets almost nothing. That's Exeggutor's stat line in a nutshell. 4 stats sit in respectable range, but the spread is brutal. Tough to catch and yields 2 Sp. Atk EVs.
It is called the Walking Jungle. Each of the nuts has a face and a will of its own.
It is said that on rare occasions, one of its heads will drop off and continue on as an Exeggcute.
Exeggutor Weakness
Exeggutor's Grass/Dragon typing leaves it vulnerable to Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug, Dragon, and Fairy. Ice hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses.
| Damage | Types |

| 4x (Critical) | Ice |
| 2x (Weak) | Poison, Flying, Bug, Dragon, Fairy |

Harvest isn't flashy, but it matters. Combined with Sitrus Berry for a one-time health recovery at low HP and max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs, Exeggutor fills the special attacker slot reliably. Modest nature finishes the spread.

How to Get Alolan Exeggutor in Scarlet & Violet
Exeggutor Guide
For Scarlet & Violet, we rate Exeggutor C-Tier: a niche pick in Scarlet & Violet's meta. At 530 BST, it fits the wallbreaker role. Giga Drain with Sitrus Berry is the standard set.
In Scarlet & Violet, watch for Cloyster (Ice), Nidoking (Poison), and Dodrio (Flying) when using Exeggutor. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Cloyster is the most dangerous since Ice moves deal 4x damage. Bug, Dragon, and Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. With 6 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.
Frisk reveals an opponent's held item upon entering battle. That's the one you want on Exeggutor. Harvest is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
Base 45 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Exeggutor is a special attacker with base 125 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a wallbreaker.
For Scarlet & Violet, Exeggutor has answers, but so do you. Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Physical attackers can break through.
Game Availability
Since debuting in Red & Blue, Exeggutor has appeared in 20 titles over 10 generations. Along the way, it received an Alolan form in Generation 7, keeping it relevant across different competitive metas.
