In the current meta this card gets murdered! I wish they gave him a fire weakness or something where he can't be insta-sniped by a one energy Gardevoir!
News Alolan Exeggutor-GX from SM4 Revealed!

Losses to Gardy GX.. let's move on.
I'm not really seeing this being better than Genesect.
The fact that you're sniping is pretty cool, but you're hitting for 50 less damage, and Genesect is both capable of accelerating energy onto himself with energy reload and with max elixir, and shining genesect is only a one-prize attacker for when lele destroys you with energy drive.
I LOVE alolan Exeggutor as a pokemon, but this card is just incredibly underwhelming.
Pretty nice artwork as far as GX's go. The facial expression of the middle head is not quite right however. Looks a little too much in control of what it's doing. Exeggutor should always look somewhat goofy!
My prayers have been answered.
Yeah nobody is going to play this. Attacks are meh. Weakness to Gardevoir instantly throws me off.

I'm hoping they'll make a GX of every Sun and Moon Pokémon. They have already done about half, so that IS possible.
Finally, a card that sponsors VIAGRA for itself.
Who's ready for an onslaught of "Tropical Head" jokes?
I really wanted this card to be playable. But at the moment there's too much punishment for having energy on you. The biggest enemy being gardevoir, which could very well be the most popular deck in the format. Not to mention it's weak to gardevoir as well. Perhaps if we get a non-GX version it will be good. I hope so.
The only thing playable about this card is it's first attack.
I love Gardevoir, and it's one of the decks I play myself, but it's insane how big of a command it has on the game now.

DDE would help with sniping (obligatory "better in expanded")
I've been looking for a way to make Goodra into a viable deck, maybe this card would fit the bill even better.

Reaction to this reveal be like:
Anyway, it's a so-so card that normally gets 2-shots (with disruption), but can get a 1-shot whenever the situation arises, but those attacks are expensive. Sniping in proportion to energies attached is cool. Gardevoir wrecks it so hard, though.

Well, first of all, it has weakness to Gardevoir, which means it'll get lit up for essentially no energy, which will really hurt its viability. However, the card is pretty decent. The first attack is good, the second is meh, especially for 4 energy, and the GX attack is fantastic, especially in the scenario that your Exeggcutor GX will be KOed next turn, as you can KO something yourself and then redistribute the energy to a fresh attacker. When you put the new venosaur as a partner for this card, its first attack becomes a pretty terrifying snipe attack and a great primary attack in general. Also, the fact that is doesn't require DDE energy to function optimally (cough, Noviern, cough) is fantastic. I honestly feel pretty optimistic about the viability of this card!
The art work is pretty darn lit as well. Can't way to see the full art variant!
I think I'd rate it higher considering Venusaur from Shining Legends is a thing.
With just two energy attached and a Venusaur on your bench you're doing 80 damage to benched pokemon, 120 and confusion, and 180 and you can move the energy wherever you like. Fairy weakness it sad, but 220 HP is nice and Weakness policy is in the format.
Guys 120 plus confusion for 2 energy (if Venusaur is up) is legit. Garde still pwns it but u don't have to commit tons of energy to attack
If you wanted to snipe a vulpix or something, you'd need 3 energy.
Gardevoir would do 130 with only one energy, or 160 with choice band. Many Gard decks I've played against usually have one gardevoir with 3 energy (sometimes 2 if they play mirror gardevoir), so that'd knock it out.
Mediocre first attack. Unfortunate, especially since I was hoping we'd see several good alolan gx's
