Alolan Exeggutor V towers over the competition with its impressive energy acceleration and scaling damage potential.
This Basic Pokémon V combines self-sustaining energy attachment with a potentially devastating attack, making it a unique option for Grass-type strategies in the current meta.
But can this tall palm really reach competitive heights, or will it fall short when facing the game's elite?
Offensive rating: 8/10Alolan Exeggutor V's offensive capabilities revolve entirely around its second attack, Head Swing.
While requiring three energy, this attack scales beautifully with each Grass Energy attached, dealing 30 damage per Grass Energy to any of your opponent's Pokémon.
The key synergy here is with its own Growing Tall attack, potentially attaching up to 5 Grass Energy in a single turn.
At maximum energy acceleration, Head Swing can reach 150+ damage, targeting any Pokémon on your opponent's board—including those hiding on the Bench.
This flexibility to snipe threats regardless of position gives it significant offensive utility, though its dependency on coin flips for energy acceleration creates inconsistency that limits its offensive ceiling.
Survival rating: 7/10With a substantial 240 HP, Alolan Exeggutor V boasts above-average durability for a Basic Pokémon V.
This allows it to potentially survive a hit from many common attackers, giving it time to set up its energy acceleration.
However, its Fire weakness is a significant liability in a meta where Fire-type attackers are prevalent.
The heavy retreat cost of three energy is also problematic, potentially stranding this Pokémon in the active position when you need to pivot.
Without any inherent defensive abilities or effects to reduce damage, heal, or prevent being targeted, Alolan Exeggutor V relies entirely on its raw HP for survival, making it vulnerable to two-hit knockouts from most meta attackers.
Versatility rating: 7/10Alolan Exeggutor V demonstrates remarkable versatility through its dual-purpose design.
As both an energy accelerator and a scalable attacker, it can fill multiple roles in a single deck slot.
Its Growing Tall attack enables it to support other Grass attackers by distributing energy across your board, while Head Swing makes it a legitimate threat in its own right.
The ability to target any of your opponent's Pokémon grants additional tactical flexibility, allowing you to pick off vulnerable Basics or chip away at threats hiding on the bench.
However, its effectiveness is heavily constrained by its Grass typing, limiting its broader meta adaptability.
It also suffers from the coin flip dependency, which reduces its reliability in tournament settings where consistency is paramount.
Speed/Setup rating: 6/10Alolan Exeggutor V's setup speed represents both its greatest strength and most frustrating weakness.
Growing Tall can potentially attach 5 Grass Energy in a single turn, transforming it from setup mode to full offensive capability immediately.
However, this acceleration is entirely dependent on a coin flip, creating an inherent 50% failure rate that severely impacts its consistency.
When the flip fails, you're left with a stranded Pokémon that has contributed nothing to your board state.
The card also requires you to run a high count of Grass Energy to maximize its effect, which can lead to clunky hands and less room for supporters and other techs.
While its ceiling for setup speed is extraordinarily high, its floor is correspondingly low.
Alolan Exeggutor V benefits tremendously from cards that increase flip consistency, provide additional energy acceleration, or capitalize on its energy distribution capabilities.
The deck construction should focus on maximizing the Growing Tall success rate while providing backup plans for when flips fail.
Energy retrieval options and cards that can move energy between Pokémon further enhance its utility.
Cards like Victini (BW: Noble Victories) that allow you to reflip coins transform Alolan Exeggutor V from inconsistent to reliable, significantly boosting your chances of successful energy acceleration and turning Growing Tall into a more dependable setup option.
Lurantis (SM: Guardians Rising) with its Sunny Day ability boosts damage from Grass Pokémon by 20, amplifying Head Swing's damage output and helping Alolan Exeggutor V reach crucial knockout thresholds against bigger threats.
Cheryl allows you to heal all damage from your Grass Pokémon at the cost of discarding attached energy. With Alolan Exeggutor V's ability to rapidly re-attach energy, this downside becomes manageable, giving you a powerful reset button in tough matchups.
Alolan Exeggutor V represents a high-risk, high-reward option for Grass-type strategies.
Its potential to accelerate significant amounts of energy in a single turn can create explosive plays that opponents struggle to counter.
When firing on all cylinders, it can distribute energy across your board and deal significant damage to any target.
However, the coin flip dependency introduces an element of inconsistency that competitive players may find difficult to accept.
While its 240 HP provides decent survivability, the Fire weakness and heavy retreat cost create additional vulnerabilities.
To maximize its potential, pair it with flip-enhancing cards and backup energy acceleration options.
In the right deck with proper support, Alolan Exeggutor V can be a threatening presence, but its inconsistency and type-specific focus keep it from reaching the highest competitive tiers.
Best utilized in Grass-focused builds where its energy acceleration can benefit multiple attackers.
