Read more ↓Applin, the Apple Core Pokémon, is a fascinating creature introduced in Generation VIII with the Galar region. This tiny Grass/Dragon-type Pokémon is known for its unique lifestyle, spending its entire existence nestled within an apple. This symbiotic relationship provides Applin with both shelter and sustenance, as it feeds on the apple's flesh. Its appearance, with two small green stalks resembling eyes and a tail, makes it easily mistaken for a mere part of the fruit, a clever camouflage strategy that protects it from natural predators, particularly bird Pokémon. Applin has two distinct evolutionary paths depending on the type of apple it consumes: it evolves into Flapple when exposed to a Tart Apple, gaining a more aggressive, winged form, or into Appletun with a Sweet Apple, becoming a more docile, pie-like Pokémon. In the games, Applin is often found in areas with apple trees, and its evolution method is a charming nod to its apple-centric existence. Its whimsical design and interesting lore have made it a fan favorite, embodying the imaginative spirit of the Pokémon world.
