This week’s Featured Hour is about the original Egg Pokémon, Exeggcute. This means that this is a great opportunity to search for a Perfect Exeggcute and a Shiny Exeggcute in Pokémon Go.
The psychic egg has two evolved forms: the original Kantonian Exeggutor and its Alolan cousin, which is what happens when you lose your psychic powers and decide to be a palm dragon. No one knows why it is a dragon; Play along with me.
Unfortunately, both forms are pretty useless in Pokémon Go, and while the vast majority of players will already have the shinies they want here, there’s still a chance you’re missing a perfect egg, so if you’re still looking, or if you just want a little Easter in your Pokémon Go, you know what to do!
Even if you don’t like Exeggcute, you should try to catch as many Pokémon as you can during this week’s Spotlight Hour because of the double candy catch bonus offered alongside the event.

Run 100% perfect IV stats in Pokémon Go
This week’s Featured Hour is a great opportunity to catch an Exeggcute with perfect IV stats.
Execute.
“Perfect” means two things in Pokémon Go, depending on how you plan to use a given Pokémon. First, there’s the max build, 100% IV, which is the 15/15/15 you’re looking for for your 4* Pokédex, Raids, and Master League. However, because of how CP is calculated using three stats, a perfect Pokémon IV is usually just the best version of itself in the Master League.
Of course, you can’t see a Pokémon’s IV without catching it first, but with a little research beforehand, you can quickly spot a perfect Exeggcute based on CP alone.
If you’re at level 30 (or higher), you’ll ideally be looking for the following CPs for a perfect 15/15/15 Exeggcute:
The wild CP value aligns with your trainer level until you reach level 30, and since the majority of the player base is now above this level, we’ve kept these values for the sake of simplicity. However, these values will be different if you are currently below level 30.
Is Exeggutor good at PvP?
No, it’s quite unpleasant. Alola’s form is better than Kanton’s, but that’s not saying much. It is a glass cannon that is vulnerable to a long list of weaknesses, and each form has a double weakness to take into account. And if that wasn’t bad enough, his moves aren’t the easiest, as Draco Meteor is a self-defeating nuclear bomb.

If you absolutely feel the need to run Exeggutor in Go Battle League, run the Alolan one as a Shadow with the moves Dragon Tail (Fast), Seed Bomb (Charged), and Draco Meteor (Charged). This will maximize your chances of reducing both fast movement and shield pressure.
In Great League, this translates to wins against Shadow Swampert (although it’s very evenly matched with regular Swampert), Lanturn, Victreebel, and Umbreon, although you quickly lose to Noctowl, Medicham, Galarian Stunfisk, Sableye, and Treventant.
As for the Ultra League, you still beat Swamperts and Umbreon, but you also beat Shadow Dragonite and Jellicent. Losses come from Walrein (you are twice weak to Ice), Charizard, Trevenant, Giratina Altered, and Obstagoon.
While you may see the word ‘Dragon’ and think of Master League, you would be correct in saying that all the dragons in Master League seem to beat Alolan Exeggutor. Still, you can beat Kyogre, Swampert, Excadrill, Groudon and Snorlax, although you can also do it with a number of other much better Pokémon…
The Season of Adventure Abundance is here! Its first event is A Paldean Adventure, which sees the true launch of Gen 9 and the special research mission A Paldean Adventure. You can also work on the Timed Investigation: Master Ball mission and compete in Go Battle League. Be sure to compete in Shadow Raids, complete routes, use Daily Adventure Incense for a chance to encounter Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos, and Galarian Moltres. This incense can also give you encounters with other rare Pokémon in Pokémon Go.
Is there a shiny Exeggcute in Pokémon Go?
Yes, and there have been since April 2020. We don’t know if the eggs are cute, but we do know that Exeggcute is released around Easter for obvious reasons.

What does the shiny Exeggcute look like?
As you can see below, the shiny Exeggcute is pretty cool, thanks to the fact that it’s made of shiny golden eggs!
However, Shiny Exeggutor is not doing so well: while it maintains the golden hue of its body, its leaves are decidedly autumnal. That’s not a good sign, since red leaves are rarely long in the world…
Shiny Alolan Exeggutor is the same as the Kantonian in terms of color palette – it just has the following strangely long Alolan form.

Other tips for this hour of attention
Besides trying to catch a shiny Exeggcute in Pokémon Go, there are a couple more good reasons to participate in this week’s Spotlight:
- The best reason is, of course, the double candy catch bonus that runs throughout the hour. This gives you the opportunity to collect candy twice as fast as usual, and each Exeggcute captured will give up to 13 candy if you use a Pinap/Silver Berry with a Mega Evolved Pokémon of the same type, instead of the basic 3.
- This bonus also extends to research rewards. Remember, you don’t need to catch these Pokémon when you complete the task; If you run away, you can “stack” up to 200 Pokémon for times like this, or when you want to max out a Star Piece or Lucky Egg bonus.
- If you’re a newcomer, this Featured Hour is the perfect time to collect enough Exeggcute Candy to fully evolve this Pokémon and enter all of its evolutions into the Pokédex.
- Thanks to Exeggcute being a Grass/Psychic type, catching a bunch during this Featured Hour will add progress to your respective catch bonus medals.
Spotlight Hour events only last one hour: from 6 pm to 7 pm (local time). Next month’s Spotlight Pokémon have yet to be announced, but check back next week for a primer on what’s coming next!
Good luck finding a perfect Exeggcute!
