Stats & Training
Exeggcute's spread isn't flashy. Defense leads, Attack trails, 1 stats clear the bar. Moderately hard to find and worth 1 Defense EV, on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
Even though it appears to be eggs of some sort, it was discovered to be a life-form more like plant seeds.
It is often mistaken for eggs. When disturbed, they quickly gather and attack in swarms.
Exeggcute Weakness
Type-wise, Exeggcute takes extra damage from Bug, Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Ghost, and Dark. Watch out for Bug attacks, those deal 4x damage. 6 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Exeggcute's physical bulk (base 80 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Bug |
| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Ghost, Dark |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Water, Electric, Grass, Fighting, Ground, Psychic |
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet
