In Alola, Exeggutor has a regional variant that is Grass/Dragon. It evolves from Exeggcute when exposed to a Leaf Stone. All Exeggcute in Alola evolve into this form regardless of their origin.
Exeggutor is a tall, bipedal Pokémon that strongly resembles a coconut palm or other palm tree. Its legs and body resemble a tree trunk, and its legs are thick with two-toed feet and a light yellow paw pad on each foot's underside. It has leaves sprouting from the top of its body, and Exeggutor has three to six round, light yellow heads that resemble coconuts, each with differing facial expressions. Each head thinks independently of the others, so it makes a lot of noise as each head speaks its mind. If one of these heads grows too large, it falls off and groups back together to become an Exeggcute. In the anime, Exeggutor also has been seen in groups of its own kind, meaning that it is not a solitary Pokémon. It lives in forests and jungles.
Due to the abundance of sunlight in the Alola region, Exeggutor grows over five times taller than in other regions. Its neck is thinner and much longer, causing it to resemble a palm tree. This variant of Exeggutor has a long, tapering tail with two leaves and a fourth head on the tip. This extra head can act on its own and defend the rear. Its long neck can be used like a whip to attack enemies with its hard head. However, its neck can also be a weak point. The people of Alola claim that Alolan Exeggutor is this Pokémon's true form.[1]
Ash was hypnotized by Melvin's Exeggcute in The March of the Exeggutor Squad, and was forced to capture several Exeggutor for Melvin. Unfortunately, all of the Exeggutor used Hypnosis on each other and they went on a rampage.
In Misty Meets Her Match, Rudy used an Exeggutor against Ash's Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur managed to defeat it, but it also saved the Coconut Tree Pokémon from falling down a cliff.
Eight Exeggutor were among the inhabitants of an oasis just for Pokémon in Got Miltank?. They were the ones responsible for keeping the humans away by hypnotizing them.
Exeggutor, a Coconut Pokémon. Also known as "The Walking Tropical Rain Forest." Each coconut has a distinct face and its own character. Its special attack is Hypnosis.
Exeggutor originally came from the tropics. Its heads steadily grow larger from exposure to strong sunlight. It is said that when the heads fall off, they group together to form Exeggcute.

Two of Ash's Pokémon in the anime have evolved after fighting and defeating Exeggutor. Ash's Charmander evolved into Charmeleon after defeating several Exeggutor, with some help from Melvin's fire power. Later on, Ash's Krabby evolved into Kingler after defeating Mandi's Exeggutor in the first round of the Indigo Plateau Conference.
The artwork for the Japanese Jungle (TCG) booster box depicts Exeggutor with an elongated body and no visible legs. This may have led to inspiration for Exeggutor's Alolan Form.
It appears to be based on a coconut tree and possibly the Japanese monster Jinmenju, a tree that grows human heads (that are always smiling). It might also be inspired by a sandbox tree.
Exeggutor's Alola Form more closely resembles a coconut tree. Its type may be a reference to the Dracaena genus. It may also be a pun inspired by the Coca, a dragon whose name shares the same origins as the word coconut.
Name origin
Exeggutor may be a combination of egg and executor.
Nassy is derived from ココナッツ kokonattsu (coconuts) and 椰子 yashi (palm tree).
