Exeggcute (Japanese: タマタマ Tamatama) is a dual-type Grass/Psychic Pokémon.

It evolves into Exeggutor when exposed to a Leaf Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Exeggcute resemble six light pink eggs, usually seen arranged in the way of five heads huddled around a sixth. Each "head" has a slightly different facial expression, but each face has triangular eyes with tiny black pupils and a small mouth. Each of their shells have some cracks on them, and one member of the bundle usually has their yolk/brain exposed. Despite looking like eggs, Exeggcute are actually more closely related to plant seeds.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Exeggcute are capable of several Grass- and Psychic-type moves, like Dream Eater, which combines well with its two sleep moves, Sleep Powder and Hypnosis. Exeggcute use a special kind of telepathy that always makes them form groups of six.

Exeggcute, and its evolved form, Exeggutor, are the only known Pokémon that learn Barrage.

Behavior

These Pokémon gather together in swarms of six. They communicate with each other by using a form of telepathy that only they can understand. Should the number of Exeggcute be reduced to less than six, the remaining Exeggcute will attempt to replace it with a similarly sized Pokémon, such as Togepi.

Habitat

Exeggcute live in jungles and forests. They are most commonly-seen in Kanto, but have also been seen in Johto and Sinnoh.

Major appearances

Exeggcute's first major role was in The March of the Exeggutor Squad. The Egg Pokémon was owned by an incompetent magician named Melvin. Exeggcute managed to hypnotize Ash and Melvin forced Ash to capture a bunch of Exeggutor. Melvin's Exeggcute managed to evolve, but without using a Leaf Stone.

Trivia

• Exeggcute is one of five Pokémon with seven weaknesses, the others being its evolution Exeggutor, Snover and Abomasnow, and the legendary Celebi (the last of which shares its type combination with Exeggcute and Exeggutor).
  • Coincidentally, they are all of the Grass type.
• Exeggcute shares the same species name with Chansey. They are both known as Egg Pokémon.
• In Pikachu's Rescue Adventure, it is hinted that each of Exeggcute's members may have an individual sense of identity, even though they are all considered to be just one Pokémon.
• Unusually for Psychic-type Pokémon, Exeggcute and Exeggutor are unable to learn Calm Mind.

Origin

Exeggcute appears to be a mixture of a batch of eggs and seeds, though it may have been inspired by the "Egg Yolk" tomato or possibly a visual pun based on the eggplant.

Name origin

Exeggcute is a combination of egg and execute. It is may also be a play on the phrase "eggs are cute."

Tamatama could be taken to mean 偶々 (unexpectedly), although it is more likely to be derived from 玉 tama (sphere). It is worth noting that the Japanese word for egg is 卵 tamago.

In other languages

Language Title Meaning Japanese タマタマ Tamatama From 玉 tama or 卵 tamago French Noeunoeuf Comes from the word oeuf pronounced twice.
