That 4x Bug weakness is something every Exeggutor user needs to plan around. Chlorophyll doubles its Speed in sun, which helps. At least it resists 6 types to make up for it. Known as the Coconut Pokemon.

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

Pokedex Entries

Alola is the best environment for this Pokémon. Local people take pride in its appearance, saying this is how Exeggutor ought to look.

Sun

As it grew taller and taller, it outgrew its reliance on psychic powers, while within it awakened the power of the sleeping dragon.

Moon

Exeggutor Weakness

Fragile

Exeggutor's Grass/Psychic typing leaves it vulnerable to Bug, Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Ghost, and Dark moves. Bug hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. With 6 resistances, the defensive profile is strong.

Harvest isn't flashy, but it matters. Combined with Sitrus Berry for a one-time health recovery at low HP and a spread EV build EVs, Exeggutor fills the defensive wall slot reliably. Bold nature finishes the spread.

    or evolve from Exeggcute (Step 1)

  • Chlorophyll changes the entire equation for Exeggutor. The 530 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a wallbreaker.

  • Watch for Pinsir (Bug), Arcanine (Fire), and Lapras (Ice) when using Exeggutor. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Pinsir is the most dangerous since Bug moves deal 4x damage. Poison, Flying, Ghost, and Dark-type attackers are also a problem. With 7 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • Exeggcute evolves into Exeggutor using a Leaf Stone. Exeggutor is the final evolution in a 3-stage line starting from Exeggcute. At 530 BST, it's got solid stats to work with.

  • Chlorophyll is what you want on Exeggutor. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Harvest) work on paper but Chlorophyll is what makes Exeggutor worth using.

  • At base 55 Speed, it won't be moving first often. 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.

  • 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.
