Profile of Applin, a mini Pokemon that is shaped like an apple

Applin is a two-type Pokemon, namely Grass and Dragon, which first appeared in the eighth generation of games, Pokémon Sword and Shield.

This small Pokemon has an appearance similar to an apple. The two eyes shaped like leaves on top of his head give the impression of an apple complete with leaves.

Applin is the lightest and shortest among other Dragon-type Pokemon. He is also one of the shortest Grass-type Pokemon.

After birth, he will hide inside an apple shaped like a Leppa Berry which functions as a home, food source, and shelter from other Pokemon.

The apples occupied by Applin will not rot quickly, this is because the fluid in their bodies can also strengthen the skin of the fruit.

Applin and its two evolved forms are known to be the only Pokemon that can have Ripen as an ability.
