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.

  2. Exeggutor
    Step 2Exeggutor
  • Chlorophyll changes the entire equation for Exeggutor. The 530 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked S-Tier as a wallbreaker.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • At base 55 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Exeggutor is a mixed attacker — base 95 Attack and 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.
