Exeggcute (Japanese: タマタマ Tamatama) is a dual-type Grass/Psychic Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Exeggutor when exposed to a Leaf Stone.
In Alola, Exeggcute will evolve into Alolan Exeggutor when exposed to a Leaf Stone.
Biology
Exeggcute is a Pokémon resembling six light pink eggs, usually seen arranged with 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 shell has some cracks, and one member of the bundle usually has its yellow insides or brain exposed. More numerous cracks are a sign that it is close to evolution. Despite looking like eggs, Exeggcute is actually more closely related to plant seeds. It is believed to carry genes of plants and other species.
Exeggcute gathers in swarms of six. The heads 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 as seen in the anime. Pidgeotto and Crabrawler are its natural predators, which it chases off with psychokinesis. Exeggcute inhabits jungles and forests. In the Alola region, it tends to be heavier. This is due to the shells being packed full.
Exeggcute and its evolved form, Exeggutor, are the only known Pokémon that can learn Barrage.
In the anime
Major appearances

Trivia
- Exeggcute shares its category with Chansey. They are both known as the Egg Pokémon.
- Despite being able to learn SolarBeam by level up, Exeggcute cannot learn it by TM in Generation I.
Origin
Exeggcute may be based on both plant seeds and a clutch of eggs. It is possibly a visual pun on an eggplant, though it may also have been inspired by the "Egg Yolk" tomato, or the bird's nest fungi. It may also draw inspiration from coconuts, considering Exeggutor's resemblance to a palm tree and the fact that Exeggcute is hunted by Crabrawler, which may be based on a coconut crab.
Name origin
Exeggcute may be a combination of execute, egg, and cute.
Tamatama could be taken to mean たまたま (unexpectedly), although it is more likely to be derived from 玉子 tamago (egg).
