Exeggcute resemble light pink eggs. The shells have some cracks on them (and may even have their yolk/brain exposed). Despite obviously looking like eggs, Exeggcute are actually similar to plant seeds.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Exeggcute are capable of several Grass- and Template:Type2 moves, like Dream Eater, which combines well with its two sleep moves, Sleep Powder and Hypnosis. Exeggcute use a special kind of telepathy that always makes them form groups of six.
Exeggcute first appeared in The March of the Exeggutor Squad. The Egg Pokémon was owned by an incompetent magician named Melvin. Exeggcute managed to hypnotize Ash and Melvin forced Ash to capture a bunch of Exeggutor. Melvin's Exeggcute managed to evolve, but without using a Leaf Stone.
Exeggcute also appeared in Pikachu's Rescue Adventure. Pikachu and company, plus an Elekid, found Misty's Togepi hanging around an Exeggcute that was missing a member of its batch. It evolved when all the eggs were back together, standing on a Leaf Stone.
This Pokémon consists of six eggs that form a closely knit cluster. The six eggs attract each other and spin around. When cracks increasingly appear on the eggs, Exeggcute is close to evolution.

Most of Exeggcute's sprites show the middle "egg" being larger than the rest, particularly in the Red and Blue sprite.
Exeggcute shares the same species name with Chansey. They are both known as Egg Pokémon.
Every sprite to this very date (excluding back sprites) has shown at least one broken egg, which is shown most prominently in the Diamond and Pearl backsprites. The other eggs are 'cracked'.
Its sprite for Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald is nearly the reverse of its Silver sprite.
Exeggcute's broken egg has a face on the back of its head, as shown in Pokémon Ranch.
In Pikachu's Rescue Adventure, it's hinted that each of Exeggcute's members may have an individual sense of identity, even though they are all considered to be just one Pokémon.
The only backsprites featuring all six of Exeggcute's eggs were generations I and IV. The others only feature four eggs.
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.
