Appletun is a Grass/Dragon type Pokémon introduced in Eighth generation games, Pokémon Sword and Shield. It evolves from Applin when exposed to a Sweet Apple. It has a Gigantamax form that it shares with Flapple.

Physiology and Behavior[]

Appletun is a dragon-like Pokémon inhabiting a body reminiscent of apple pie. Its body is mostly green with a yellow underside and lower jaw, and has an orange spot on its chest that resembles an apple core. It has a piece of an apple on its head worn as a helmet. Its eyes usually droop down from under the apple helmet as though they were ears, but may be lifted up to reveal leaf-like eyestalks holding small beady eyes. It has black slits for nostrils on the tip of its muzzle. It has a large hump on its back with a several overlapping stripes that resemble an apple pie's crust. It has red and green leaves on the top of its pie-like back. It has short, bulky legs with paws, and a stout tail.

Appletun's body is caked in sweet nectar, whose smell attracts Bug-type Pokémon which Appletun preys on. However, Appletun's primary diet is sweet apples. In order to ward off other Pokémon such as Lechonk from licking the nectar on its back, Appletun can spew a sticky nectar. The skin on its back is said to be tasty, and children used to eat it as a snack.

Gigantamax Appletun[]

When exposed to Gigantamax energy, Appletun's body changes, becoming larger and stouter. A giant apple engulfs most of its body, leaving only its head, neck and tail exposed. Its leaf-like eyestalks stand up straight and it has a piece of the apple covering its head, with yellow carvings on it resembling nostrils. Its cheeks are rounded and it hangs its mouth open, letting its red tongue loll out. Its neck becomes taller and stretches upwards, while its tail becomes elongated and wraps around the base of the apple. Three red clouds float around its neck. Gigantamax Appletun and Flapple are physically identical.

The sweet nectar that covers Appletun's body overflows from the top of its apple after Gigantamaxing, and it increases in thickness as well, allowing it to absorb more damage than normal. Gigantamax Appletun can shoot out massive amounts of nectar, enough to drown its opponents.
