Exeggutor stands out as one of the most resilient Pokémon in the game, excelling as a frontline defender while requiring minimal Energy to function efficiently. It serves as an ideal lead, creating opportunities to set up Greninja in the background, allowing it to launch precise attacks from the bench. At the same time, opponents often struggle to break through Exeggutor’s massive HP pool, making it a challenge to take down.

This version of the deck frequently includes a single tech option, such as Mew ex, to deal with some of the most dangerous threats. Notably, it avoids running Energy, ensuring that Exeggutor can start attacking by turn 2 without falling behind in tempo.
