# Alolan Exeggutor Alolan Exeggutor is the towering Grass-Dragon regional Pokémon revealed for Pokémon Sun and Moon on August 1, 2016. Its absurdly long palm-tree neck became instant meme material within hours, spawning Twitter fanart, 4chan edits, and a dedicated /r/exeggutormemes subreddit. ## Overview Alolan Exeggutor is a regional variant of the original Pokémon Exeggutor, redesigned as a Grass-Dragon dual-type with a comically elongated palm-tree neck for Pokémon Sun and Moon[1]. Where the Kanto version was a squat, stumpy creature, the Alolan form towers well above the trainer character and grew a small extra tail-head near the base of the trunk[1]. The joke is entirely visual. The tree-necked sprite looked so out of scale with the rest of the game that fans treated it as pre-made shitpost material within hours of the reveal, spinning off photo edits, fanart, and stretched-Pokémon parodies[3]. ## How It Spread Japanese Twitter caught it first. The hashtag ナッシー, Exeggutor's Japanese name, climbed to roughly 329,000 tweets on the day of the reveal, and "exeggutor" trended on English-language search at the same time[2]. Twitter user @sameanko posted an illustration stretching other Pokémon into the same absurd proportions and pulled over 12,000 retweets and 8,000 likes in under 24 hours[4]. The edits jumped fast to 4chan's Pokémon board /vp/, where a thread collected dozens of stretched-Pokémon mashups from anons riffing on the format[6]. On Reddit, fans launched /r/exeggutormemes as a dedicated subreddit for the joke, gathering 136 subscribers within its first 24 hours[5]. Forced-perspective photos of real palm trees and Photoshop composites of the Pokémon looming over cityscapes kept the format going in the weeks after the launch trailer[3]. ## How to Use The format typically involves stretching a subject vertically to absurd proportions or grafting Alolan Exeggutor's palm-tree silhouette onto other Pokémon, characters, or objects[4]. Common conventions include forced-perspective photos of tall palms, cropping unrelated Pokémon sprites into skyscraper-tall versions, and captions poking fun at the Alolan form's surprise Dragon typing[1]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Alolan Exeggutor?
