Pokémon GO enthusiasts, get ready for a delightful new event—Sweet Discoveries—where you can catch the adorable Applin for the first time. Whether you're a fan of collecting new Pokémon or hunting for those elusive shinies, this event is not to be missed. Let's dive into all the sweet details you need to know.
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. This is when Applin, the Grass and Dragon-type Pokémon from the Galar region, will make its grand entrance into Pokémon GO.
To evolve Applin into Flapple, you'll need 200 Applin Candies and 20 Tart Apples. If Appletun is your goal, gather 200 candies and 20 Sweet Apples. And for those looking to evolve Applin into Dipplin, its final evolution, Hydrapple, awaits.
The key to evolution lies in the Apples, which you can find in the wild during the event. Tapping on them might reward you with a Tart Apple, a Sweet Apple, or even Applin itself. Increase your chances of finding these Apples by using Mossy Lure Modules.
Did You Know?
Applin is quite the unique Pokémon; it spends its entire life inside an apple, cleverly hiding from its natural enemies, bird Pokémon, by blending in as just another piece of fruit. It's undeniably one of the cutest additions to the Pokémon GO lineup.
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. And there's more—enjoy a 2× Candy bonus for every Pokémon you catch during the event.
Keep your eyes peeled for Shiny Delibird and Shiny Skwovet, as they'll have a higher chance of appearing in the wild. Additionally, your odds of hatching Shiny Delibird, Shiny Cherubi, and Shiny Skwovet from 7 km Eggs are boosted during this period.
Another sweet perk is that catching Delibird or Skwovet will cause them to drop berries, adding a bit more fun to your gameplay. If you haven't yet, download Pokémon GO from the Google Play Store and join in on the fun.
