Alolan Exeggutor is only a Dragon type because it has a LONG neck, and Long is Chinese for dragon.
Gamefreak has dabbled in foreign language puns before. Dandelion lion is still unoriginal as shit though,

Sometimes they make attempts at making the same pun, like Inkay's name in Japanese is Maika, which is a pun on ma, ii ka which means 'Well, I guess it's okay'
Inkay was a ref both to squid ink and also attempting to preserve the pun by making the name sound like 'mkay'

It's also because dragon type reflects how they adjust to a tropical environment, becoming more tolerant to heat and moisture but less tolerant to cold

Semi-related, do non-English and non-Japanese dubs get translated from the English dub or the original Japanese?

It varies from region to region. I think things are a bit different now though because of the world-wide release that has every language in the game from the start so probably they have to use the Japanese version as a base.
