Pokémon GO Introduces Applin: Sweet Surprises Await

Pokémon GO Launches Exclusive Sweet Discoveries Event With Applin

Niantic is introducing a limited-time Sweet Discoveries event, highlighted by the highly anticipated arrival of Applin. This event is essential for trainers seeking rare Pokémon additions or hunting for shiny variants. Discover everything you need to know about this special occasion.

When Does Applin Make Its Pokémon GO Debut?

The Sweet Discoveries event kicks off April 24th at 10:00 AM local time, running through April 29th at 8:00 PM. The standout feature is the first-ever appearance of Applin - a Grass/Dragon-type Pokémon originating from the Galar region.

Evolution Requirements Explained

• Evolve into Flapple: 200 Applin Candies + 20 Tart Apples
• Evolve into Appletun: 200 Applin Candies + 20 Sweet Apples
• Final evolution path leads to Dipplin → Hydrapple

Special evolution items will appear as interactive objects in the wild. Tapping these may yield either Tart Apples, Sweet Apples, or possibly Applin encounters. Pro tip: These special items appear more frequently near Mossy Lure Modules.

Fun Fact: Applin's Unique Behavior

This tiny Pokémon spends its entire existence inside an apple, cleverly disguising itself from predatory bird Pokémon by mimicking ordinary fruit. Many trainers consider Applin among the most adorable creatures in Pokémon GO's extensive roster.

• Catch Bonus: 2× Candy for all Pokémon captures during the event
• Shiny Boost: Increased odds for encountering Shiny Delibird and Shiny Skwovet in the wild
