>>32743438They're seed Pokémon that eventually grow into palm trees. They're based around eggs but that's not what they are, so basically they're another deceiving Pokemon of the bunch. GF is known for making several of them within generations and Exeggcute are not eggs, just like Sudowoodo isn't a tree, Mawile isn't a cute little creature and Mimikyu isn't a puppet. To be fair, I was surprised when I found out they were seeds too. I think it says so somewhere on one of its many dex entries.
If you pay attention, there are actually no food Pokémon, they're all either animals, non-edible organic things from nature or objects with life breathed into them.
