Get ready for a sweet adventure in Pokémon GO with the upcoming Sweet Discoveries event! This is your chance to encounter the newly debuting Pokémon, Applin, and possibly catch its shiny variant. Whether you're a dedicated collector or a shiny hunter, this event is packed with exciting features you won't want to miss.
When Is Applin Debuting in Pokémon GO?
Mark your calendars for the Sweet Discoveries event, kicking off on April 24th at 10:00 a.m. and concluding on April 29th at 8:00 p.m. local time. This event marks the much-anticipated 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, for Appletun, gather the same number of candies along with 20 Sweet Apples. And if you're aiming for Dipplin, remember its final evolution is Hydrapple.
The key to evolution lies in the Apples. These items will be scattered in the wild, and 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 in your area.
Did You Know?
Applin lives its entire life inside an apple, cleverly disguising itself from bird Pokémon predators by mimicking a regular piece of fruit. With its adorable appearance, Applin is undoubtedly one of the cutest Pokémon you'll find in Pokémon GO.
During the Sweet Discoveries event, you can also snag some new avatar items from the in-game shop, including the Applin Headband and Applin Apron. As for event bonuses, you'll enjoy double Candy for catching Pokémon throughout the event period.
Keep an eye out for Shiny Delibird and Shiny Skwovet, as there's a heightened chance of encountering these rare variants in the wild. Plus, you'll have an increased likelihood of hatching Shiny Delibird, Shiny Cherubi, and Shiny Skwovet from 7 km Eggs.
A delightful addition to the event is the berry drops. Catching Delibird or Skwovet will reward you with berries, adding a sweet touch to your Pokémon GO experience. If you haven't yet, download Pokémon GO from the Google Play Store and get ready for some sweet discoveries!
