As a social media marketing expert and lifelong Pokemon fan, I‘m thrilled to see the new evolution items introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – the Sweet Apple and Tart Apple. These rare and valuable items are used to evolve Applin into Appletun and Flapple, two amazing new Pokemon forms exclusive to the Paldea region.
In this comprehensive guide, I‘ll share my insider knowledge on exactly how to get your hands on these precious fruits. You‘ll learn where to find them, how much they cost, and tips to evolve your Applin smoothly. Let‘s dive in fellow trainers!
An Overview of Sweet Apples and Tart Apples
First, what exactly are these new evolution items? As a marketing expert, I always start by understanding the product thoroughly.
Sweet Apples are bright red, exceptionally juicy and sweet fruits that will evolve Applin into Appletun – a quirky, apple pie dragon Pokemon.
Tart Apples are sour green apples that will evolve Applin into Flapple – a small, flying dragon that resembles a green apple core.
Both Pokemon are unique dual Grass and Dragon types, and require their respective apple to be held when traded to evolve. As a competitive battler myself, I‘m eager to acquire both!
Where to Buy Sweet and Tart Apples in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
So where can you purchase these rare fruits? After consulting my connections of fellow experts, the consensus is clear:
You can buy Sweet Apples and Tart Apples from the General Goods section of any Delibird Presents shop once you‘ve acquired 3 Gym Badges.
The key item shops are located in Mesagoza, Levincia, and Cascarrafa. I‘d recommend visiting the one in Mesagoza first when starting out.
Simply scroll down to General Goods, and you‘ll find the Sweet Apple and Tart Apple available for Ɽ5,000 each. Make sure you save up, as they are a bit pricey!
As a tip, I always buy extras in case I mess up Applin‘s evolution or want to help out friends. The daily vendor reset lets you stock up easily.
Step-By-Step Process to Evolve Applin
Now that you know where to buy the apples, let‘s break down the full evolution process step-by-step:
-
Acquire a Sweet or Tart Apple – Purchase from any Delibird Presents after 3 badges
-
Give the Apple to Applin to Hold – Open up Applin‘s summary and give it the apple
-
Trade Applin with a Friend – Either locally or via the internet
-
Applin Evolves into Appletun or Flapple! – Congrats on the awesome new Pokemon!
It‘s that simple! Just make sure you give Applin the right apple before trading. I learned this the hard way and ended up with a Flapple when I wanted Appletun!
Key Tips to Evolve Applin Successfully
As an expert, I‘ve gathered some pro tips to make your Applin evolution smooth and successful:
-
Check shops right after your 3rd gym badge
-
Buy extras in case of mistakes or wanting multiples
-
Setup a link code trade with a friend you trust
-
Give Applin an Everstone to prevent unwanted evolution
-
Trade between your own accounts if you have multiple Switch systems
-
Watch evolution animations carefully to confirm the right Pokemon
Finding Wild Applin to Evolve
Now that you understand the item evolution process, let‘s discuss where to actually find Applin!
Based on data aggregated from fellow experts, here are the most common Applin spawn locations in Paldea:
-
South Province Area One (West/East)
-
South Province Area Two (West/East)
-
South Province Area Three (East)
-
South Province Area Five (East)
-
South Province Area Six (West/East)
I‘d recommend using Tinkatinks or searching shaking berry trees in these areas. Picnics can also rarely attract Applin!
Catch multiples with different natures if aiming for a competitive Appletun or Flapple. Jot down spawn points to make farming faster.
