Alolan Exeggutor

Description

The 2019 McDonald's Collection Alolan Exeggutor (#2) stands as a distinct entry in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, originally distributed as a promotional item through McDonald's restaurants. Designed by Satoshi Shirai, this Holo card captures the evolution of the Grass-type Pokémon as it transitions from Exeggcute, bringing a unique strategic element to the game. Alolan Exeggutor is classified as a Stage 1 Pokémon with 160 HP, making it a resilient presence on the battlefield for collectors who appreciate its design and gameplay mechanics. A defining feature of this card is its attack, Grass Tropical Shake. This ability allows the player to deal 20 base damage plus an additional 20 damage for each type of Basic Energy card in the discard pile, capped at a maximum of 100 bonus damage. This mechanic encourages strategic deck building and resource management, adding depth to the collecting experience beyond simple aesthetics. The flavor text notes that as Alolan Exeggutor grew taller, it outgrew its reliance on psychic powers and awakened the power of a sleeping dragon within, reflecting its unique Alolan regional adaptation. For collectors, this card represents a specific moment in Pokémon history tied to the 2019 McDonald's promotion. The McDonald's Collection 2019 (Set Code: MCD19) is highly sought after by enthusiasts looking to complete promotional sets or acquire unique variants not found in standard booster packs. The Holo finish adds a layer of visual appeal, distinguishing it from non-promotional releases. Whether you are a seasoned trainer building a specialized deck or a casual fan gathering memorable cards, the Alolan Exeggutor #2 offers a blend of nostalgic value and unique game mechanics that make it a noteworthy addition to any collection.
