Pokédex entries

Sword It spends its entire life inside an apple. It hides from its natural enemies, bird Pokémon, by pretending it’s just an apple and nothing more.
Shield As soon as it’s born, it burrows into an apple. Not only does the apple serve as its food source, but the flavor of the fruit determines its evolution.
Scarlet It grows by eating the flesh of an apple. Applin uses its own body fluid to strengthen the apple’s skin and prevent it from rotting.
Violet Applin lives inside an apple. When an Applin is separated from its apple, its body loses moisture and the Pokémon grows weak.
