Introducing Appletun: A New Addition to Pokemon GO
The highly anticipated Sweet Discoveries event in Pokemon GO is set to bring the delightful Appletun into the game. Scheduled to run from 10 AM local time on April 24, 2025, until 8 PM local time on April 29, 2025, this event marks the official arrival of Applin along with its two evolutions: Appletun and Flapple. These unique Pokémon, classified as Grass and Dragon types, hail from the Galar region, representing the eighth generation of Pokémon.
This article serves as a comprehensive guide on how to add Appletun to your Pokemon GO collection.
How to Obtain Appletun in Pokemon GO
As of April 2025, you can acquire Appletun through the following methods:
- Evolving Applin
- Trading with friends
Evolving Applin into Appletun
To evolve your Applin into Appletun, you will need:
- 200 Candy
- 20 Sweet Apples
Once these requirements are met, your Applin will transform while retaining its Grass and Dragon types. For optimal planning, you can utilize our Pokemon GO Evolution Calculator tool, allowing you to estimate the Combat Power (CP) of your newly evolved Appletun before proceeding with the evolution.
Securing enough Candy to evolve Applin can be a challenge since it is considered a rare spawn. Here’s how you can collect more Candy:
- Catch additional Applins
- Transfer surplus Applins
- Walk with Applin set as your Buddy
- Utilize Rare Candy
In addition to the Candy, you will also need to gather the 20 Sweet Apples required for the evolution. These can generally be found by tapping on apple icons that appear on the map, or by purchasing the Sweet Discoveries Ticket in Pokemon GO, which includes a Sweet Apple among its benefits.
Trading for Appletun
If evolving Applin isn’t feasible for you, consider trading with one of your in-game friends. For the best results, try to execute the trade with a Best Friend to significantly reduce the Stardust cost associated with the transaction. This strategy can enhance your chances of acquiring Appletun with ease.

Currently, players cannot acquire a Shiny variant of Appletun in Pokemon GO. While a shiny form may be introduced in a future update, it remains locked for the time being.
