InAlola, Exeggutor has a dual-typeGrass/Dragonregional form. It evolves fromExeggcute when exposed to a Leaf Stone. All Exeggcute in Alola evolve into this form regardless of their origin. These Exeggutor can also be found inBlueberry Academy'sTerarium.
Exeggutor is a tall, bipedalPokémon that resembles acoconut tree orpalm tree. Its body and legs are light brown with thin black rings and its legs are thick with two-toed feet. There is a light yellow paw pad on each foot's underside. It has thin, green leaves sprouting from the top of its body. Exeggutor has three round, light yellow heads that resemble coconuts, each with different facial expressions.
Exeggutor's heads think independently and don't appear interested in one another, so it makes a lot of noise as each head speaks its mind. They still appear to get along, though, for they never squabble amongst themselves. If all the heads want to go in a different direction, its body is unable to move. They are able to communicate telepathically as well and sometimes use it to come to a joint decision. It uses psychic powers to fight, and since all three heads are capable its power is tripled. If one of these heads grows too large, it falls off and groups together with others to become anExeggcute. In thePokémon the Series: The Beginning episodeThe March of the Exeggutor Squad, Exeggutor also has been seen in groups of its own kind, meaning that it is not a solitary Pokémon. Exeggutor has been referred to as "The Walking Tropical Rainforest" or "The Walking Jungle". It can be sluggish during cloudy days due to the lack of sunlight. Being the result of an Evolution viaEvolution stone, Exeggutor is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found inforests and jungles.
Due to the abundance of sunlight in theAlolaregion, the Exeggutor that live there grow over five times taller than those in other regions. The region is considered to be the best environment for Alolan Exeggutor. Alolan Exeggutor's neck is thinner and much longer, causing it to more closely resemble a coconut tree or tropical palm tree than its Kantonian counterpart, which resembles the shorter desert palm. It has a long, tapering tail with two leaves and a fourth light green head on the tip.
This extra head can also act on its own and defend the rear.[1] The tail can use weak telepathy to scan the surrounding area. Its long neck can be used as a whip to attack enemies with its hard head. However, its neck can also be a weak point, as it will become dizzy swinging it around. Its increased height reduced its need for a psychic defense and has instead awakened its draconic powers, resulting in its psychic powers becoming weaker.
Ancient carvings and murals depict this Pokémon. Alolan Exeggutor is considered the pride of the Alola region by its natives. Alolans take pride in its appearance, claiming this is what Exeggutor ought to look like. Its extra height makes it thetallest andheaviestGrass-type. Alolan Exeggutor can be found onExeggutor Island, a former trial site in Alola, which is not only shaped like an Exeggutor, but contains many wild Exeggutor, giving the island its name. They can also be found in theCoastal Biome ofBlueberry Academy'sTerarium, where Alola's island life is simulated.
Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon: Theplayer will encounter three erratic Alolan Exeggutor the first time they visitExeggutor Island. These Pokémon are being harassed byPinsir which the player must defeat or catch to soothe the Exeggutor. As thanks, one of the Exeggutor allows the player to climb its neck and reach the platform where theSun FluteSUS/Moon FluteMUM is located. Four Exeggutor later gather to watch the player's Grand Trial Battle againstHapu.

The number of heads Exeggutor has used to vary in earlier media. Exeggutor is depicted with an extra head on its back in everycore series game up untilPokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. In itsPokédex entry forPokémon Crystal, it is stated that "living in a good environment makes it grow lots of heads". In the early seasons ofPokémon the Series, it was occasionally depicted with more than three heads, often distributed in a ring around its torso rather than just on the front. InThe March of the Exeggutor Squad, an Exeggutor's leaves are cut, revealing five heads. Additionally, official game art during this period also depicted Exeggutor with its heads distributed around its body, though not exceeding three heads. However, from FireRed and LeafGreen onwards, Exeggutor is consistently depicted with three heads on the front and none on the back across official media.
Origin
Exeggutor appears to be based on acoconut tree or desertpalm tree and possibly the Japanese monsterJinmenju, a tree that grows human heads that are always smiling. It might also be inspired by ayucca plant, with its bulky trunk and blade-like leaves. It may also draw inspiration fromBuddhist asuras, three-headed demigods whose faces are sometimes said to each express one of the emotions of joy, anger, and sorrow. This quality is also reflected in another Pokémon,Dodrio. Exeggutor'sPsychictype may come from the idea oftelepathy.
Alolan Exeggutor more closely resembles a coconut tree or tropical palm tree. ItsDragon type may be a reference to theDracaena genus of trees. It may also be a pun inspired by theCoca, a dragon whose name shares the same origins as the wordcoconut. Its dramatically larger size may also referenceisland gigantism.
Name origin
Exeggutor may be a combination ofegg andexecutor.
Nassy may be a combination of ココナッツkokonattsu (coconuts) and 椰子yashi (palm tree).
