About Exeggcute

As one of the original 151 Pokemon Exeggcute first appeared in the original series with the episode The March of the Exeggutor Squad. This episode featured Exeggcute’s psychic abilities. Exeggcute is the base evolution in its evolution line and evolves into its final evolution Exeggutor when a Leaf Stone is used. The Pokedex mentions that the six eggs are a tightly clustered group that will evolve once enough cracks are formed.

Exeggcute Base Stats

Appearance

Exeggcute is a pile of six eggs that all have their own face and some of the eggs in the pile may appear to be cracked and this is a sign that they are close to evolving. The entirety of the egg cluster is mainly pink, but you can see a yellow yolk in the eggs that have almost completely cracked. Each of the eggs appear to have their own emotions displayed on their face, but they operate as one single unit. Exeggcute is a small Pokemon at only 1 foot and 4 inches, or 0.4 meters, tall.

Behavior

While Exeggcute appears to be a pile of six eggs, the eggs are familiar with their own group and even if they are separated, they can gather together again. They also seem to only ever gather in groups of six and there will never be one stray egg out of place. Exeggcute will link together telepathically making them close to their own group of eggs and these eggs care for each other and help care for each other. They will spin each other around to form cracks and which helps them move closer to evolving.

Strengths and Weaknesses

As a base evolution Pokemon, there are not many strengths to mention about Exeggcute although it does have a respectable defense stat, especially for a base evolution Pokemon. This comes as a surprise as a pile of eggs does not seem that formidable in terms of defense. As a psychic and grass type Pokemon, Exeggcute takes 2x damage from flying, poison, ghost, fire, ice, and dark type moves, but will take 4x damage from bug type moves. It has no immunities but is resistant to fighting, ground, water, grass, electric, and psychic type moves.

Best Moveset

As a base evolution Pokemon, Exeggcute is exclusively limited to the LC (Little Cup) bracket of competitive play. In this format, it only has to face other base evolution Pokemon which gives it a better chance of success. Most strategies with Exeggcute seek to take advantage of its ability Harvest to give it more bulk than possible with a healing berry held item. Consider running Substitute, Sleep Powder/Leech Seed, Giga Drain, and Psychic/Hidden Power Fighting/Hidden Power Fire/Protect. Substitute can help extend the longevity of your Exeggcute, Sleep Powder/Leech Seed are interchangeable depending on whether you want a status inflicting move or a hazard, Giga Drain benefits from STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus), and Psychic/Hidden Power Fighting/Hidden Power Fire/Protect are all interchangeable depending on if you want type coverage or a more defensive option.
