Read more ↓Appletun is a Grass/Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII, native to the Galar region. It evolves from Applin when exposed to a Sweet Apple. Appletun's body is encased in a sweet, sticky apple pie-like shell, which it uses for defense and to attract prey. Its Pokédex entry notes that its evolution is caused by eating a sweet apple and that a nectarous scent wafts from its body, luring in the bug Pokémon it preys on. This unique adaptation highlights its symbiotic relationship with its environment. In the games, Appletun is known for its high special defense and HP, making it a formidable tank. In the anime, it has made appearances showcasing its gentle yet protective nature. Its design, reminiscent of a classic dessert, has made it a fan favorite, embodying a blend of cuteness and strength. Appletun's dual typing gives it interesting matchups, being strong against Water, Grass, Electric, and Ground types, but weak to Flying, Poison, Bug, Ice, Dragon, and Fairy types. It represents the innovative designs of the Galar region, blending food inspiration with creature design.
