Pokemon GO Adds Applin and Evolutions in Sweet Discoveries Event – Full Details from PinkRepack
Pokémon GO is continuing its steady rollout of Galar region Pokémon, and the latest addition is sure to excite fans of Generation 8. Starting April 24, Niantic will launch the Sweet Discoveries event, introducing the long-awaited Applin evolutionary line into the game. The event runs until April 29, 2025, and will feature not only the adorable apple dragon Pokémon but a host of bonuses, new wild encounters, and themed rewards. As always, PinkRepack has the full scoop.🍎 Applin Debuts in Pokémon GO
For the first time ever, Applin, along with its evolutions Flapple and Appletun, will be available in Pokémon GO. Players can catch Applin in the wild or through Timed Research, and evolve it using 200 Applin Candy and either 20 Tart Apples (for Flapple) or 20 Sweet Apples (for Appletun). These apples can be found by tapping mysterious apples that appear in the wild during the event—some of which may also yield Pokémon encounters.
