Applin, the Apple Core Pokémon, is a charming Grass/Dragon type creature introduced in Generation VIII with the Galar region. Known for its unique symbiotic relationship with apples, Applin spends its entire life inside one, using it for both sustenance and protection. This behavior is crucial for its survival, as its body is quite fragile and prone to drying out if separated from its apple. Applin evolves into Flapple or Appletun depending on the item used; a Tart Apple evolves it into Flapple, a Grass/Dragon type known for its tart flavor and flying abilities, while a Sweet Apple evolves it into Appletun, a Grass/Dragon type recognized for its sweet taste and defensive capabilities. In the games, Applin is often found in orchards or areas with abundant apple trees, reflecting its natural habitat. Its endearing design and interesting evolution mechanics have made it a fan favorite, particularly among those who appreciate unique Pokémon concepts and regional forms. Applin's presence in the anime often highlights its timid nature and reliance on its apple home, further endearing it to audiences.
