Type: Grass/Dragon

Ripen: Doubles the effect of Berries consumed by Flapple.
Gluttony: Causes Flapple to eat a held Berry when its HP drops to 50% or less, instead of the usual 25%.
Hustle (Hidden Ability): Increases the power of Flapple's physical moves by 50% but lowers their accuracy by 20%.

Physical Characteristics:

Flapple resembles a small, dragon-like creature encased within an apple.
It has a green body with a worm-like tail, small wings, and a stem-like horn on its head.
The apple's skin forms its wings, which have red and yellow hues, providing a camouflaged appearance.

Behavior and Habitat:

Flapple is often found in orchards and forests where apples are abundant.
It uses its apple-like appearance to disguise itself from predators and blend into its environment.
Known for its mischievous nature, Flapple can often be seen playfully swooping down from trees.

In Battle:

Flapple is known for its high physical attack power and access to powerful moves like Grav Apple and Dragon Rush.
It uses its unique move, Grav Apple, which not only deals damage but also lowers the target's Defense.
While strong against Water, Ground, and Electric types, it is weak against Ice, Flying, Poison, and Bug types.
Often equipped with Berries, benefiting from its Ripen ability to maximize their effects.

Evolution:

Evolves from Applin when exposed to a Tart Apple.
Applin has two evolutionary paths, the other being Appletun, which evolves when exposed to a Sweet Apple.

Interesting Facts:

Flapple's design is inspired by the myth of the "worm in the apple," turning it into a dragon-like creature.
Despite its small size, it can fly at high speeds, using its apple wings for aerodynamic advantage.
Its signature move, Grav Apple, is unique for its dual effect on both offense and defense.
Flapple was introduced alongside other Galar region Pokémon, emphasizing the region's focus on British-inspired themes, with an apple dragon nodding to folklore and agriculture.
