Biology
Physiology
Exeggcute resemble light pink eggs. The shells have some cracks on them (and may even have their yolk exposed). Despite obviously looking like eggs, Exeggcute are actually similar to plant seeds.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Exeggcute are capable of several Grass- and Psychic-type moves. Exeggcute use a special kind of telepathy that always makes them form groups of six.
It seems that Exeggcute can evolve without the use of a Leaf Stone if one egg is separated from the rest and comes back together.
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.

In the anime
Exeggcute first appeared 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.
Exeggcute also appeared in Pikachu's Rescue Adventure. Pikachu and company, plus an Elekid, found Misty's Togepi hanging around an Exeggcute that was missing a member of its batch. It evolved when all the eggs were back together, standing on a Leaf Stone.
In the manga
Bill is seen with an Exeggcute in Pokémon Special. Prior to the events of Volume 23, it has since evolved into Exeggutor.
