Overall Consistency

An Exeggutor ex Deck banks on bringing out Exeggutor ex early on to put pressure on the opponent. Although the deck sounds strong due to the damage it can deal early on, Exeggutor ex's damage power greatly depends on the coin flip, making the deck inconsistent as an attacker.

As for the deck's Exeggcute and Exeggutors, it is remarkably consistent and will always be able to evolve on turn 2.
