Summary

Applin is a dual-type Grass/Dragon Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

Type: Grass / Dragon

Abilities:

  • Ripen: This ability doubles the effect of Berries used by the Pokémon.
  • Gluttony (Hidden Ability): Causes the Pokémon to eat a held Berry when its HP drops to half or less, which is sooner than usual.

Physical Characteristics:

  • Applin resembles a small, green worm-like creature hiding inside an apple.
  • The apple is red with a yellow bottom and a green leaf on top, representing its natural camouflage.
  • Applin's eyes peek out from the apple's top, giving it a cute and curious appearance.

Behavior and Habitat:

  • Applin is known to live in forests where it can easily blend in with the natural surroundings.
  • It hides inside apples to avoid predators, using the apple as both a shield and a disguise.
  • Applin is a timid Pokémon, often relying on its camouflage to avoid confrontations.

In Battle:

  • Applin is more of a defensive Pokémon, using its abilities to leverage Berry effects.
  • While not known for offensive prowess, it can learn moves like Astonish and Withdraw to start.
  • Its evolution options provide strategic choices, enhancing its battle capabilities significantly.

Evolution:

  • Applin evolves into Flapple when exposed to a Tart Apple.
  • It can also evolve into Appletun when exposed to a Sweet Apple, each evolution offering distinct advantages in battle.

Interesting Facts:

  • Applin is inspired by the concept of a worm inside an apple, a classic depiction of fruit consumption in nature.
  • It is one of the few Pokémon to have two different evolutionary paths, depending on the item used.
  • Its design cleverly integrates aspects of both dragons (its secondary type) and fruit, showcasing the creative blend typical of Pokémon designs.

Flavor Text Entries

  • Sword: It spends its entire life inside an apple. It hides from its natural enemies, bird Pokémon, by pretending it’s just an apple and nothing more.
  • Shield: As soon as it’s born, it burrows into an apple. Not only does the apple serve as its food source, but the flavor of the fruit determines its evolution.
