How to Get Exeggutor in Platinum

No wild encounters for Exeggutor. The 2-stage line runs through Exeggcute, which you can catch at decent rates from the locations below. Evolve through a special method once you've got the levels.

Exeggutor Guide

  • In Platinum, Chlorophyll changes the entire equation for Exeggutor. The 530 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a wallbreaker. Leaf Storm with Life Orb is the standard set.

  • In Platinum, watch for Pinsir (Bug), Arcanine (Fire), and Lapras (Ice) when using Exeggutor. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Pinsir is the most dangerous since Bug moves deal 4x damage. Poison, Flying, Ghost, and Dark-type attackers are also a problem. With 7 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • Chlorophyll is what you want on Exeggutor. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Harvest) work on paper but Chlorophyll is what makes Exeggutor worth using.

  • At base 55 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Exeggutor is a mixed attacker with base 95 Attack and 125 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a wallbreaker.

  • In Platinum, run Leaf Storm, Explosion, Sleep Powder, and Psychic on Exeggutor. Leaf Storm is the most common pick at 16% usage. Psychic provides reliable STAB damage.

Game Availability

Since debuting in Red & Blue, Exeggutor has appeared in 20 titles over 10 generations. Along the way, it received an Alolan form in Generation 7, keeping it relevant across different competitive metas.
