Applin Debuts in Pokémon GO: Sweet Discoveries Await!

Pokémon GO enthusiasts, get ready for an exciting new event: Sweet Discoveries, which introduces the adorable Applin to the game. Whether you're a collector or a shiny hunter, this event is not to be missed. Dive in to learn everything you need to know about this sweet addition to Pokémon GO.

When Is Applin Debuting in Pokémon GO?

Mark your calendars for the Sweet Discoveries event, starting on April 24th at 10:00 a.m. and running through April 29th until 8:00 p.m. This event marks the debut of Applin, a unique Grass and Dragon-type Pokémon hailing from the Galar region.

To evolve Applin into Flapple, you'll need 200 Applin Candies and 20 Tart Apples. Alternatively, to evolve it into Appletun, you'll require 200 candies and 20 Sweet Apples. For its final evolution into Dipplin, and eventually Hydrapple, keep an eye on future updates.

A key part of the evolution process involves collecting Apples, which will appear in the wild during the event. Tapping on them might reward you with a Tart Apple, a Sweet Apple, or even an Applin itself. Increase your chances of encountering Apples by using Mossy Lure Modules.

Did You Know?

Applin spends its entire life inside an apple, cleverly hiding from its natural predators, bird Pokémon, by masquerading as just another piece of fruit. It's one of the cutest Pokémon in the entire Pokémon GO roster.

During the Sweet Discoveries event, you can snag some new avatar items from the in-game shop, including an Applin Headband and an Applin Apron. Additionally, enjoy the event bonus of earning 2× Candy for catching Pokémon.

There's also an increased chance of encountering Shiny Delibird and Shiny Skwovet in the wild. Plus, you'll have better odds of hatching Shiny Delibird, Shiny Cherubi, and Shiny Skwovet from 7 km Eggs.

Another sweet feature of the event is that catching Delibird or Skwovet will reward you with berries. If you haven't already, make sure to download Pokémon GO from the Google Play Store to join in on the fun.
