Exeggutor is a Grass/Psychic-type Pokémon and the evolved form of the Egg Pokémon, Exeggcute. When it evolves, it takes on a form similar to a palm tree, with its six heads resembling coconuts.
Pokédex Data[]
Exeggutor's body resembles a palm tree, standing at the average height of six feet. It has a somewhat rounded body that walks on two legs, each with two toe-claws; it has no arms and a ring of six yellow heads encircling the top of the trunk from which several long, thin leaves sprout.
Each of Exeggutor's heads has a different facial expression, although they all seem to appear somewhat dazed or confused. Each head thinks independently and shows no interest in the others, though all heads can communicate via telepathy and need to think in consensus, otherwise they cannot act. For example, if each head wants to go in a different direction, the body will not move at all until every head decides upon the same direction.
While rarely found in the wild, Exeggutors have been seen residing in jungles and even on coastlines. Many people refer to this Pokémon as "The walking forest" as groups of them will often come together and wander through the jungle, making it appear that the trees are moving.
Like any plant, Exeggutor grows by absorbing nutrients from the ground and from the light of the sun. If any of its heads grow too large, they will fall off the body and de-evolve into an Exeggcute, which will go on to form a group of its own. The lost head will grow back over time.
Alolan Variant[]
On the Alolan Islands, Exeggutor grows to staggering heights due to the excessive amount of sunlight in the tropical climate. Its neck grows thirty feet above its body and it also grows a tail that ends in two small leaves and a light-green head. The tail head acts as a "rear guard" of sorts as it can see threats closer to the ground that the other heads might overlook.
The Alolan variant of Exeggutor has weakened psychic abilities, but compensates for this loss with the development of Dragon-type powers. Residents of Alola believe that their variant of Exeggutor is the "true form" of this Pokémon, a belief that is supported by various ancient carvings and murals found throughout the region.
