Applin Debuts in Pokémon GO: Sweet Discoveries Await!

Pokémon GO enthusiasts, get ready for a delightful treat with the upcoming Sweet Discoveries event, where the adorable Applin makes its much-anticipated debut. This event is a must for anyone passionate about adding new Pokémon to their collection or hunting for those elusive shiny variants. Dive in to learn all the juicy details about this exciting event.

When Is Applin Debuting in Pokémon GO?

Mark your calendars! The Sweet Discoveries event kicks off on April 24th at 10:00 a.m. and continues until April 29th at 8:00 p.m. local time. The highlight of this event is the introduction of Applin, a charming 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 ultimately Hydrapple, follow the evolution path diligently.

A key element of the event is the Apples, which are crucial for Applin's evolution. You can find them in the wild, and tapping on them might reward you with a Tart Apple, a Sweet Apple, or even Applin itself. Increase your chances of encountering Apples by using Mossy Lure Modules.

Did You Know?

Applin is unique in that it spends its entire life inside an apple, cleverly disguising itself to evade its natural predators, bird Pokémon. This makes Applin one of the cutest and most intriguing Pokémon in the Pokémon GO lineup.

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

There's an enhanced chance of encountering Shiny Delibird and Shiny Skwovet in the wild. Moreover, your odds of hatching Shiny Delibird, Shiny Cherubi, and Shiny Skwovet from 7 km Eggs are significantly increased.

Another sweet addition to the event is the increased berry drops from catching Delibird or Skwovet. If you haven't yet, download Pokémon GO from the Google Play Store and join the fun.
