Alolan Exeggutor

Description

Released in 2018 as part of the Forbidden Light expansion, the Alolan Exeggutor Reverse Holo card (number 2) represents a distinct evolution in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Evolving from Exeggcute, this Stage 1 Grass-type Pokémon boasts 160 HP and introduces a strategic mechanic that rewards resource management during gameplay. The Reverse Holo finish provides a shimmering alternative to the standard Rare printing, appealing to collectors who value aesthetic variety within the set. The card’s primary appeal lies in its signature attack, Grass Tropical Shake. This ability allows the player to deal 20 damage plus an additional 20 for each type of basic Energy card in the discard pile, capping at a maximum of 100 extra damage. This mechanic encourages players to build decks that can quickly populate the discard pile, making Alolan Exeggutor a potent threat in specific archetypes. The retreat cost of 3 Energy ensures that positioning must be considered carefully during matches. For collectors, this card serves as an essential component for those completing the Forbidden Light base set. Illustrated by Satoshi Shirai, the card captures the essence of the Alolan variant, reflecting the flavor text’s notion of awakened dragon-like power as the Pokémon outgrows its reliance on psychic abilities. The Forbidden Light era is known for its diverse Pokémon lineup and intricate card designs, making each card a valuable piece of TCG history. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a collection of Alolan forms, this card offers both mechanical depth and visual appeal.
