Overview
- The Sweet Discoveries event, live now, features Applin and its Galar evolutions Appletun and Flapple, marking their debut in Pokémon Go.
- Evolving Applin requires 20 Sweet or Tart Apples and 200 Applin Candy, making the process time-intensive and item-dependent during the limited event window.
- Sweet and Tart Apples, essential for evolution, are rare overworld spawns with boosted rates using Mossy Lures but may not appear after the event ends.
- Premium timed research tasks offer Applin encounters but do not provide the rarer evolution items, leading some trainers to question their value.
- Dipplin and Hydrapple, Applin’s additional evolution forms, are absent with no announced release timeline, reflecting Niantic’s staggered content rollout strategy.
