Where do I start if I want to build Alolan Exeggutor ex?

With the whole core: 7 cards, 26 slots. Inside it, buy the 8 Trainer slots and the 15 Energy first: they carry over into your next deck. Leave the 3 Pokémon slots for last. Only then work down the flex table and add the cards the most lists agree on, starting with Exeggcute at 86 % and Buddy-Buddy Poffin at 86 %.

What beats Alolan Exeggutor ex?

Its attackers have no printed Weakness, so nobody doubles the damage they put on you. What gives this deck trouble lives elsewhere: setup speed, and cards that shut off Abilities.

Not intact: 2 core cards out of 7 carry the letter H, starting with Alolan Exeggutor ex and Crispin.

The game plan

Published 16 August 2026Data updated 26 October 2026

We took 7 lists of this deck, handed in at 7 different tournaments, and counted every card in every one. For 6 of them we know how the day ended, and none won their tournament. 7 cards turn up in all of them, 26 slots out of 60. The other 34 are decided player by player, with 71 different cards turning up in them.

THE SHORT VERSION

7 cards show up in all 7 lists, no exceptions: 26 of your 60 slots. Of those, 8 are Trainers, 3 are Pokémon and 15 are Energy. Start there. That leaves 34 slots for you to pick yourself.
Your big card is Alolan Exeggutor ex, 300 HP. Tropical Frenzy hits for 150. It needs 2 Energy, 1 Grass and 1 Water attached.
The sharpest disagreement is over Energy Switch: 4 of the 7 lists run it. The table below has all 71 cards fighting over the 34 free slots.
Of the 127 decks we track, not one attacks into your attackers' Weakness. That is a real luxury, and it will not last forever.

What Alolan Exeggutor ex looks like when you open the box

Across the 7 lists we counted, this deck runs 16 to 21 Pokémon, 22 to 29 Trainers and 13 to 17 Energy. Its attacks are paid for in Grass and Water.

On results pages and on stream you will see it written « alolan-exeggutor-ex ». Every card named in that label turns up in the tables below, which is what makes it a fair name for the deck.

Look at the Energy: 13 to 17 out of 60, when half the 127 decks we track run 11 or fewer. This one carries more than most, and you feel it at the table — it wants to load up a big Pokémon and swing hard, even if that means drawing a spare Energy now and then.

It sets up fast. Alolan Exeggutor ex is a Stage 1 Pokémon: a Basic, one evolution on top, and you are attacking. Two cards instead of three. You lose fewer turns building, and you rebuild much more easily when an early knockout lands on you.

Look at the Trainers: 22 to 29 cards out of 60, against a median of 31 across the 127 decks we track. Inside that, 9 to 17 Supporters, and the rule there is strict — one a turn, even if you are holding three. The 9 to 16 Items you can play all of in the same turn.

What Tools and Stadiums do — the two Trainer families we skipped here — and why the Energy count says so much: how to read a deck list.

What fills the 60 slots

Pokémon: 16–21
Trainers: 22–29
Energy: 13–17
Supporters: 9–17
Items: 9–16
Tools: 0–3
Stadiums: 0–2

A range means the lists disagree with each other.

What the card in this deck's name actually does

Alolan Exeggutor ex gives this deck its name. Here is what is written on it.

Alolan Exeggutor ex is in all 7 lists, 3 copies of it. Its attack Swinging Sphene costs 3 Energy (Grass, Water and Fighting) and has no damage number printed next to it. That is why you will not find it in the attacker table lower down, which sorts by printed damage. Everything it does lives in its text: « Flip a coin. If heads, Knock Out your opponent's Active Basic Pokémon. If tails, Knock Out 1 of your opponent's Benched Basic Pokémon. »

How Alolan Exeggutor ex actually wins

Alolan Exeggutor ex attacks with Tropical Frenzy for 150. It needs 2 Energy, 1 Grass and 1 Water attached, and it has 300 HP. And the number is not everything the card says. There is one more line printed under the attack, and it is the one everybody skips: "You may attach any number of Basic Energy cards from your hand to your Pokémon in any way you like."

The cost of Tropical Frenzy decides your first few turns. You only get to attach one Energy a turn, and that attack asks for 2. On your own attachments alone, your first real swing lands on turn 2. Except you are not on your own. Crispin, which the list runs 2 of, looks at the top of your deck and attaches the Energy it finds there. Teal Mask Ogerpon ex does the same job. That is where this deck buys its turns, and it is the first thing to look for in your opening hand.

Energy is not your only clock. Exeggcute has to climb a step before it becomes Alolan Exeggutor ex, and an evolution asleep at the bottom of your deck does you no good at all. The list has that covered. Exeggcute, which the list runs 4 of, has an attack called Precocious Evolution that goes into your deck for an evolution. That attack takes your attack for the turn, so count it as a setup turn. Careful, though: only 6 of the 7 lists bring it, so it is a choice, and players are still arguing about it.

Here is the detail that quietly loses games. To pull Alolan Exeggutor ex back to the Bench you have to discard 3 Energy attached to it. Retreating does not cost you your turn, you can step back and still swing right after. What it costs you is the 3 Energy you spent 3 turns attaching, and you start that climb again from nothing. Pack a card that moves it for free, or send it up knowing it stays up.

Alolan Exeggutor ex carries the "ex" suffix, and your opponent takes 2 Prize cards instead of one when Alolan Exeggutor ex falls. They need 6 to win: 3 well-placed knockouts on that card beat you, where it would take 6 anywhere else on your Bench.

The core: the 7 cards every list runs

These 7 cards appear in all 7 lists, without a single exception. That is 26 of the 60 slots. The other 34 are decided player by player.

Look at how those 26 slots break down: 8 Trainers, 3 Pokémon, 15 Energy. Nothing stands out in that split. What sets this deck apart is how thick its core is: 26 of the 60 slots are the same for everybody, when half the 127 decks we track fix 25 or fewer. Fewer choices left to you than usual, and fewer ways to get them wrong.

7 of those 7 cards do not sit at the same count from list to list: Alolan Exeggutor ex (3 to 4), Lillie's Determination (2 to 4) and Boss's Orders (2 to 3), plus 4 more. Add those spreads up and you get 21 copies the 7 lists do not agree on, inside the core itself.

What "3 to 4" means in the copies column, what the "TWM 130" code under each name is for, and why we count dozens of lists instead of one: how to read a deck list.

The 71 cards that change from list to list

71 cards fight over the 34 slots that are left: 3 above three lists in four, 48 below one in four, and the percentage on each row says how many players took it.

The most agreed on first: Exeggcute at 86 %, Buddy-Buddy Poffin at 86 % and Switch at 86 %. Add those to the core and you have the common build.

The dividing line runs through Energy Switch, at 57 %: 4 of 7 players took it, 3 put something else there. The ones who run it bring 3 copies. Right at the bottom of the table, Exeggcute (1 list out of 7) and Hoothoot (1 list out of 7).

Why a card at 45 % is not a bad card, and what order to buy all this in: how to read a deck list.

How many different cards Alolan Exeggutor ex needs, and how long it will last

You need 78 different cards to cover every version of this deck, 7 of which nobody argues about. The rest is where lists differ from one another, and that is where you have room to choose.

All 7 lists bring an ACE SPEC, and that is where they part ways: 3 took Sparkling Crystal, 1 took Hero's Cape and 1 took Legacy Energy. The flex table shows you all 5. You are allowed ONE ACE SPEC card in your whole deck, so a single copy covers it whatever it costs. New to this deck? Take Sparkling Crystal and watch what the others do with theirs before you switch.

Then there is time. 2 of the 7 core cards carry the letter H, the one that goes at the next rotation: Alolan Exeggutor ex and Crispin. The core table marks every one of them. In copies, that is 5 of the 26 slots the core fills. Which day it lands, we do not know yet.

What Alolan Exeggutor ex struggles against

The attackers in this deck have no printed Weakness at all. That is rare and it is worth a fortune: nobody gets to double the damage they put on you.

Nothing to show here today, and that is information in itself: none of the 127 decks we track carry the type that would double the damage you take.

Going the other way, none of the 127 decks we track have an attacker Weak to your types. So you are not going to win trades on Weakness — you will have to win them on raw damage.
