Dark Exeggutor

Numbered 33 of 113 in Neo Destiny, released in February 2002, Dark Exeggutor is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Psychic-type carrying 60 HP.

It evolves from Exeggcute, so Dark Exeggutor is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Team Rocket darkened Exeggutor under its control for the set's villain arc, a grittier repaint of the familiar Pokémon with an altered attack profile.

Dark Exeggutor carries this Pokédex flavor text: "If one of its heads falls off, it turns into an Exeggcute, which begins to look for other Exeggcutes using a special form of telepathy."

The fully evolved Exeggcute. A walking palm tree with three coconut heads. Jungle holo Exeggutor is a quiet collector favorite. Its strange design has aged well.

Dark Exeggutor is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.

Neo Destiny produced 1st Edition, Unlimited, Shining prints. For Dark Exeggutor, the print variant can change the price several times over, so identify it before you buy.

Dark Exeggutor grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.

Raw copies of Dark Exeggutor are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Dark Exeggutor is the practical move.
