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 stat exp, on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
The heads attract each other and spin around. There must be 6 heads for it to maintain balance.
Exeggcute Weakness
Type-wise, Exeggcute takes extra damage from Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug. Ghost moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. 6 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Bug |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Water, Electric, Grass, Fighting, Ground, Psychic |
| 0x (Immune) | Ghost |
- 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
