Summary
Hydrapple is a Grass/Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation 9, debuting in the "The Indigo Disk" DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. It evolves from Dipplin when leveled up while knowing the move Dragon Cheer.
Type: Grass / Dragon
Abilities:
- Supersweet Syrup: Upon entering battle, Hydrapple emits a sweet scent that lowers the evasiveness of opposing Pokémon.
- Regenerator: Restores a portion of Hydrapple's HP when it is withdrawn from battle.
- Hidden Ability (Sticky Hold): Prevents Hydrapple's held item from being removed by other Pokémon's moves or abilities.
Physical Characteristics:
- Hydrapple resembles a large, syrupy apple inhabited by seven serpentine creatures known as "syrpents."
- The central syrpent, distinguished by its longer neck and two horns (one impaled with an apple), acts as the leader.
- The other syrpents have green, leaf-shaped eyestalks and bodies with pale yellow underbellies, some of which emerge as tails from the apple.
Behavior and Habitat:
- Hydrapple is composed of seven syrpents living symbiotically within a syrupy apple structure.
- The syrpents often have conflicting personalities, making coordination challenging.
- When their moods align, they can unleash immense power, showcasing their true potential.
In Battle:
- Hydrapple boasts a solid stat distribution with high Special Attack and Defense, but low Speed.
- Its signature move, Fickle Beam, is a Dragon-type special attack with 80 power and 100% accuracy, learned upon evolution.
- Common moves include:
- Dragon Pulse
- Energy Ball
- Recover
- Syrup Bomb
- With access to Regenerator, Hydrapple can effectively pivot in and out of battle, restoring health and maintaining pressure on opponents.
Evolution:
- Applin → (using a Syrupy Apple) → Dipplin → (level up while knowing Dragon Cheer) → Hydrapple
Interesting Facts:
- Hydrapple is the third evolution in the Applin line, following Flapple and Appletun.
- Its design is inspired by the mythical hydra and candy apples, combining elements of folklore and confectionery.
- The name "Hydrapple" is a portmanteau of "hydra" and "apple," reflecting its multi-headed nature and origin.
