Ghost moves don't affect Exeggutor at all — that's the advantage of Grass/Psychic typing. It relies on priority moves or Scarf to keep up. Known as the Coconut Pokemon. The stat spread leans into special offense.
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.
Its cries are very noisy. This is because each of the 3 heads thinks about whatever it likes.
Exeggutor Weakness
AvgExeggutor'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.
- Only 15 types exist — Dark, Steel, and Fairy are absent
- Ghost has no effect on Psychic (a known bug, fixed in Gen II)
- Special stat governs both offense and defense — no Sp.Atk / Sp.Def split
The Grass/Psychic-type Exeggutor caps Exeggcute's chain at 530 stats. No daycare options for this one. Sp.Atk grew the most through evolution (+65 over Exeggcute), and Exeggutor peaks at 530 total stats.
