Will exeggutor get its buff!?

Do you think they will apply main game's gen VII buffs to basestats before they launch gen 3 in PoGo!? There's 12 gen 1 & 2 monsters waiting to get their buff.

Can you please give more details about this? Have not played much of the latest pokémon generations. Is exeggutor better than he is now on gen VII?

Gen 7 buffed a few older Pokemon to make them more competitive.

Don't expect significant changes though. Exeggutor, in PoGo terms, gets a slight boost to its defense (from 158 to 161) and that's it.

Gen VII Exeggutor (Alolan Exeggutor) is a Grass/Dragon type and got a +10 buff in Attack but a -10 nerf in speed.

If/when Go ever gets to Gen 7, I would imagine it will be introduced as a net new mon. Both can coexist in Sun/Moon (gen VII), if you get a Grass/Psychic (original) Exeggutor from a trade or import it from an older game.

Now, if the OP is talking about a buff to the original Grass/Psychic egg between gens 1 and 6, I don't know.

Thank you very much ^^. Have listened and seen the Alolan forms but never knew about their stat changes. I thought that a part of their added types and the physical form they were the same mon.

Aside from the Aloan forms, some older pokemon got stat buffs in generation 7 to balance with power creep of later generations.

Exeggutor's special defense changed from 65 to 75.

Pokemon Go is currently using data, including base stats and available moves, from the generation 6 games. (Pokemon Go released before Sun and Moon.)
