Pokémon GO enthusiasts, get ready for the Sweet Discoveries event, where you'll encounter the adorable Applin for the first time. This is a must-attend event for anyone passionate about collecting new Pokémon and hunting for shinies. Dive in to learn all about what's in store for you during this exciting event.
When Is Applin Debuting in Pokémon GO?
The Sweet Discoveries event kicks off on April 24th at 10:00 a.m. and wraps up on April 29th at 8:00 p.m. local time. The highlight of the event is the debut of Applin, a 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, you can evolve it into Appletun with 200 candies and 20 Sweet Apples. For its final evolution into Hydrapple via Dipplin, gather the necessary resources.
Tart and Sweet Apples, crucial for evolution, will appear in the wild. 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 lives its entire life inside an apple, cleverly disguising itself to avoid its natural predators, bird Pokémon. This charming creature is undeniably one of the cutest Pokémon in the entire Pokémon GO roster.
During the Sweet Discoveries event, you can snag new avatar items from the shop, such as the Applin Headband and Applin Apron. Plus, enjoy the event bonus of 2× Candy for catching Pokémon.
Keep an eye out for increased chances of encountering Shiny Delibird and Shiny Skwovet in the wild. There's also a higher chance of hatching Shiny Delibird, Shiny Cherubi, and Shiny Skwovet from 7 km Eggs.
A sweet addition to the event is that catching Delibird or Skwovet will cause them to drop berries. Make sure you've got Pokémon GO installed from the Google Play Store to join in the fun.
