Applin

Applin's branched evolution

Applin is the only Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII with a branched evolution, and the first since Tyrogue to branch into more than two possible species. Because Dipplin can go on to Hydrapple, Applin and Mime Jr. are the only Pokémon whose branches have different numbers of stages.

Applin on cards

Applin debuted as a pair of Commons in Rebel Clash illustrated by Mizue and Kagemaru Himeno, and Shining Fates added a Shiny Vault Shiny rare by otumami. Twilight Masquerade later gave it an illustration rare alongside two additional Common printings.
