Trivia

Origin

It appears to be a mixture of a batch of eggs as well as a set of coconuts.

Name origin

Exeggcute's name is a play on the phrase "eggs are cute." It is also a play on the word execute. Tamatama could be taken to mean 偶々, unexpectedly, although it is more likely to be derived from 玉 tama, sphere, doubled. It is worth noting that the Japanese word for egg is 卵 tamago.

In other languages

• German: Owei
• French: Noeunoeuf - probably from nœud meaning node, and ouef meaning egg
• Korean: 아라리 Arari
