Appletun
Appletun is a dual-type Grass/Dragon Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.
Type: Grass / Dragon
Abilities: - Ripen: This ability doubles the effect of Berries consumed by the Pokémon. - Gluttony: This ability allows the Pokémon to eat held Berries when its HP drops to half or less, which is sooner than usual. - Hidden Ability: Thick Fat - This ability reduces the damage Appletun takes from Fire and Ice-type moves.
Physical Characteristics: - Appletun is a large, green dragon-like Pokémon with an apple pie-like shell. - It has a pair of small red eyes and a mouth with two visible teeth on the upper jaw. - It has cream-colored, apple pie crust-like sections running down its back and tail.
Behavior and Habitat: - Appletun is known to be a gentle and extremely gluttonous Pokémon. - It typically inhabits forested and grassy areas.
In Battle: - Appletun has a high Special Defense, making it a good choice against opponents who rely on special attacks. - Its Ripen ability can be strategically used in battle by having it hold a berry that benefits it when consumed, effectively doubling the berry's effect.
Evolution: - Appletun evolves from Applin when exposed to a Sweet Apple, which is a method exclusive to this Pokémon.
Interesting Facts: - Appletun's design is based on an apple pie and a dragon. - It is one of the few Pokémon with a unique evolution method, requiring a specific item (Sweet Apple) to evolve. - Appletun and its pre-evolution, Applin, are the only Grass/Dragon type Pokémon as of Generation VIII.
