Exeggutor is a tall Pokémon that strongly resembles a coconut or pineapple tree, but it has legs. Its legs and body resembles a tree trunk, and its legs are thick with two-toed feet and a light-yellow colored paw pad on the 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. Similar to Exeggcute, each has varying facial expressions.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Exeggutor, and its pre-evolved form, Exeggcute, are the only known Pokémon that learn Barrage. Aside from this, it has mostly the same abilities that most Grass- and Psychic-type Pokémon possess. Stated from their Pokédex entries, if one head grows too large, it falls off and will group back together to become an Exeggcute.
Behavior
Each head thinks independently of the others. Because of this, it makes a lot of noise as each head speaks its mind.
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.

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.
