Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing.

Strategy Guide

Auto-generated

Alolan Exeggutor aims to land 150-damage Tropical Hammer hits to one-shot most attackers in the format. The deck supports the coin-flip mechanic with Will and Quick-Grow Extract to maximise the turns it connects.

Open by benching Exeggcute and attaching grass energy while using Professor's Research and Copycat to find your evolution. Mid-game, evolve into Alolan Exeggutor and stack Leaf Cape for additional bulk, then use Will to call heads on Tropical Hammer before attacking. Fragrant Forest helps find Basic grass Pokemon mid-game, keeping the damage pressure alive. Cyrus can interrupt the opponent's setup if they fall behind on energy, closing games before they stabilise.

Strengths

150 damage on a Stage 1 is above the format average, threatening one-shots on non-ex attackers and most weak ex Pokemon.
Will converts Tropical Hammer's coin flip from a 50/50 into near-certain damage, making the attack reliably lethal.
Favorable matchups against Togekiss, Porygon-Z, and Charizard decks cover a meaningful slice of the non-ex field.

Weaknesses

Without Will, Tropical Hammer misses on tails and wastes three energy worth of attacks; consistency depends on drawing Will every key turn.Consistency
Retreat cost of 4 is among the highest in the format; a stranded active Alolan Exeggutor eats a KO without X Speed or switching support.Deckbuilding
Charizard ex, Toxapex, and Guzzlord ex are all unfavorable matchups — this deck wins only 25-28% of the time against those archetypes.Matchup
Alolan Exeggutor is a non-ex, so its knockouts only score the opponent 1 point, but the deck cannot quickly threaten the 3-point races ex decks run.Tempo

How to Play

Guarantee Tropical Hammer with Will

Use Will the turn before Alolan Exeggutor attacks to force the next coin flip to land heads. Quick-Grow Extract can evolve Exeggcute directly into Alolan Exeggutor, letting you set up a turn earlier. Prioritise drawing Will through Professor's Research or Copycat whenever Alolan Exeggutor is your active attacker and ready to fire.

Key cardsWillQuick-Grow ExtractAlolan Exeggutor

Fortify Alolan Exeggutor with Leaf Cape

Equip Leaf Cape to improve Alolan Exeggutor's survivability, letting it withstand hits while threatening 150-damage returns. Fragrant Forest supplements this by putting a random Basic grass Pokemon from your deck into your hand each turn, keeping your options open across multiple turns without falling apart when Will is not in hand.

Disrupt Opponent's Setup with Cyrus

Cyrus forces a damaged benched Pokemon active, buying a turn when the deck needs time to find Will or evolve a second Exeggcute. Use it reactively against heavy-energy attackers like Charizard ex to delay their knockout threats. Celebi's Time Recall ability lets your evolved Pokemon access their pre-evolution attacks, providing situational flexibility.

How to Beat This Deck

Apply Pressure Before Will Is Found

Alolan Exeggutor is dangerous only when Will is in hand. Attack aggressively on the turn before your opponent can use Will to lock the flip. Fast attackers that deal 80-100 damage force the deck to heal or retreat, burning item slots and delaying the guaranteed Tropical Hammer turn.

Exploit the Retreat-4 Weakness

Alolan Exeggutor has a retreat cost of 4, making it nearly impossible to escape the active slot without X Speed. Pivot damage onto a benched target or use effects that punish high-retreat Pokemon to strand it. If Alolan Exeggutor misses a flip without Will, it sits as a dead attacker you can knock out for free.

Run ex Attackers That Survive 150 Damage

Alolan Exeggutor caps at 150 damage per swing. Bring ex Pokemon with over 150 HP and a two-hit knockout plan; the deck's limited healing means it cannot repeatedly tank. Guzzlord ex and Charizard ex both post roughly 72-75% win rates against this deck by outlasting Tropical Hammer and threatening the 2-point ex knockout trade.

Common Substitutions

Draw supporter

Professor's Research:Primary draw engine; use Copycat as the secondary option when the opponent's hand is large.
Copycat:Situationally stronger than Professor's Research against hand-intensive opponents; keeps draw flowing without discarding your own resources.

Evolution support

Quick-Grow Extract:Evolves a grass Pokemon in play directly into a higher stage from your deck, letting Exeggcute skip to Alolan Exeggutor faster.
Fragrant Forest:Puts a random Basic grass Pokemon from your deck into your hand each turn; provides consistent Basic access throughout the game.
