Dark Exeggutor

Dark Exeggutor sits at #33 in Neo Destiny, the eleventh of the Wizards of the Coast print runs. Illustration by Toshinao Aoki. In the games, Dark Exeggutor evolves from Exeggcute, which makes it a late-stage card in the line.

The flavor text on the card reads: "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." Pokédex entries from this era are short and often quirky, written by the original Japanese localization team for a specific stat-block layout that no longer exists in modern cards.

Neo Destiny shipped in 1st Edition, Unlimited, and Shining prints. Shining cards are an entirely separate rarity tier above standard holo with an alternate-color holo pattern. Shining cards are pulled at significantly lower rates than standard holos and are a defining feature of the late Neo era.

Uncommons grade more forgivingly than Rare Holos but the same centering and edge requirements apply. Raw copies in pack-fresh condition are easy to find. A PSA 10 submission on a clean Uncommon is a low-cost way to learn how the grading process scores Wizards-era cardstock.

Raw copies of this card are inexpensive enough that the grading math rarely justifies submission unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completionists, picking up a clean raw copy and sleeving it is the practical move.
