Evolution chart
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. |
