You won't be able to find all Pokémon the same way in Pokémon Go. Some of them can only be found in exclusive locations, during certain events, or only at certain times of the day. For those who have played many Pokémon games, this method follows research in certain parts of the gaming world. Alolan Exeggutor, for example, is one such Pokémon. You might have an Exeggcute ready to evolve, but they won't transform into Alolan Exeggutor.
For those who are looking for the Alolan Exeggutor, you need to locate them in a raid. In particular, you can find the Alolan Exeggutor available in 2-star, 3-star, and 4-star raids. A handful of trainers have been able to find it roaming the wilderness, but it is much more difficult to locate. These two methods are the only way to locate one in Pokémon Go, other than receiving one in a trade with another trainer. You won't be able to evolve a regular Exeggcute into one. Your Exeggcute will transform into a traditional Exeggutor.
The Alolan version of Exeggutor is a Grass and Dragon-type Pokémon. He is able to reach a maximum CP of 3, an attack of 014, a defense of 230 and 153 stamina points. It's particularly weak against Bug, Fairy, Dragon, Flying, and Poison-type attacks, and it's doubly weak against Ice-type enemies. If you're looking to capture one with the best set of moves, you want it to know about the Dragon Tail and Sun Beam, Bullet Seed and Sun Beam, or Dragon Tail and Seed Bomb. You probably don't want it to serve as your front line during a PvP battle due to its variety of weaknesses, but it's a solid, specialized Pokémon to have in your back pocket during a fight.
Be on the lookout for this Pokémon for anyone looking to add it to their collection in Pokémon Go.
