Appletun is a dragon-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose body is reminiscent of apple pie. It is mostly green with a yellow underside and lower jaw, and it has an orange spot on its chest that resembles an apple core.<ref>[https://www.models-resource.com/nintendo_switch/pokemonswordshield/model/32675/ Appletun's model], ripped from ''Pokémon Sword and Shield''.</ref> It has a piece of an apple on its head worn as a helmet. Its leaf-like eyestalks usually droop down from under the apple helmet as though they were ears, but may be lifted up to reveal small beady eyes. It has black slits for nostrils on the tip of its muzzle. It has a large hump on its back with several overlapping stripes that resemble an apple pie's crust on top, along with a pair of red and green leaves. It has four short, bulky legs with paws, and a stout tail.


Appletun produces a nectar-like scent which attracts {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, which it preys on. Its body is caked in sweet nectar, which gets thicker when exposed to [[Gigantamax]] energy. The skin on is back is said to be tasty, and children used to eat it as a snack.
Appletun's body is caked in sweet nectar, whose smell attracts {{type|Bug}} Pokémon which Appletun preys on. However, Appletun's primary diet is sweet apples. In order to ward off other Pokémon such as {{p|Lechonk}} from licking the nectar on its back, Appletun can spew a sticky nectar. The skin on its back is said to be tasty, and children used to eat it as a snack.


When Appletun get exposed to Gigantamax energy, they change into the shape of a giant apple with a green dragon-like Pokemon inside. Its leaf-like eyestalks stand up straight and it has the top of the apple on its head with yellow carvings on the apple resembling nostrils. Its previously stout tail is elongated and wraps around the base of the apple. The Pokemon has rounded cheeks and hangs its mouth open letting a red tongue hang out of its mouth. Three red clouds float around the neck.
Appletun is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Apple Acid}}. Appletun, {{p|Flapple}}, and their pre-evolution {{p|Applin}} are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Ripen}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Appletun has a [[Gigantamax]] form.


The sweet nectar that covers its body increases in thickness, allowing it to absorb more damage than normal. It can shoot out nectar, enough to be able drown its opponents in the blast of nectar.  
When exposed to Gigantamax energy, Appletun's body changes, becoming larger and stouter. A giant apple engulfs most of its body, leaving only its head, neck and tail exposed. Its leaf-like eyestalks stand up straight and it has a piece of the apple covering its head, with yellow carvings on it resembling nostrils. Its cheeks are rounded and it hangs its mouth open, letting its red tongue loll out. Its neck becomes taller and stretches upwards, while its tail becomes elongated and wraps around the base of the apple. Three red clouds float around its neck. Gigantamax Appletun and Flapple are physically identical.


Appletun is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the move {{m|Apple Acid}} and the exclusive [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Sweetness}}.
The sweet nectar that covers Appletun's body overflows from the top of its apple after Gigantamaxing, and it increases in thickness as well, allowing it to absorb more damage than normal. Gigantamax Appletun can shoot out massive amounts of nectar, enough to drown its opponents.

* Appletun and {{p|Flapple}} are the only Pokémon to have physically identical [[Gigantamax]] forms, although they are still treated as different Pokémon as they have distinct Pokédex entries and [[G-Max Move]]s.
* Appletun and {{p|Flapple}} are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to have physically identical [[Gigantamax]] forms, although they are still treated as different Pokémon as they have distinct Pokédex entries, [[G-Max Move]]s, and cries.
* Appletun and its evolutionary family are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Grass}} and {{egg|Dragon}} [[Egg Group]]s.
** This is also the only instance of two different species of Pokémon that can be physically identical without the use of {{m|Transform}}, {{a|Imposter}}, or {{a|Illusion}}.
* Appletun and its evolutionary line:
**are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Grass}} and {{egg|Dragon}} [[Egg Group]]s.
**require only 600,000 experience points to reach level 100, the lowest among Generation VIII Pokémon, and the lowest among {{t|Dragon}}-type Pokémon along with {{p|Altaria}}.
* Despite requiring the [[Sweet Apple]] to evolve from {{p|Applin}}, Appletun's [[signature move]], {{m|Apple Acid}}, specifies it uses [[Tart Apple|tart apple]]s to attack.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Appletun may be based on {{wp|Ladon (mythology)|Ladon}}, a dragon from {{wp|Greek mythology}} that guards the {{wp|golden apple}}s in the {{wp|Garden of the Hesperides}}. It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|Serpents in the Bible|biblical serpent}}s, sometimes referred to as dragons, one of which persuades Eve to eat from the {{wp|forbidden fruit}} of the {{wp|Tree of the knowledge of good and evil}}, most of the times depicted as an {{wp|apple}}. Appletun may also be based on the tale of {{wp|Bel and the Dragon}}, about a dragon that bursts open after being fed a cake. It may also be inspired by {{wp|apple pie}}s and {{wp|tortoise}}s. Its Gigantamax form appears to be based on a {{wp|caramel apple}}.
Appletun, like its evolutionary relatives, appears to be based on the popular image of a worm burrowing into an {{wp|apple}}, as well as a pun on the {{wp|wyrm}}, a type of dragon — hence its {{t|Dragon}} typing. Visually, Appletun is similar to reptiles such as {{wp|tortoise}}s, while its back resembles desserts like the {{wp|apple pie}} or the {{wp|apple turnover}}. Appletun may also be based on the tale of {{wp|Bel and the Dragon}}, about a dragon that bursts open after being fed a cake.
 
Appletun's Gigantamax form appears to be based on a {{wp|caramel apple}}, a {{wp|candy apple}} or a {{wp|baked apple}}. Appletun and Flapple having identical Gigantamax forms may be a reference to {{wp|convergent evolution}}, which can lead to separate organisms independently developing identical characteristics and body plans.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Appletun may be derived from ''Appleton'', a {{wp|toponym}} that means "an orchard" or "place where apples grow". Appletun may also be a combination of ''apple'' and ''{{wp|Ton|ton}}'' (referencing its bulk). It may also be a play on ''apple {{wp|turnover (food)|turnover}}''.
Appletun may be derived from ''apple'', ''Appleton'' (a {{wp|toponym}} denoting a place where apples grow), ''{{wp|ton}}'' (unit of weight, referencing its bulk), ''{{wp|apple turnover}}'', and ''under''.

Appletun (Japanese: タルップル Tarupple) is a dual-type Grass/Dragon Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

It evolves from Applin when exposed to a Sweet Apple. It is one of Applin's three branched Evolutions, the others being Flapple and Dipplin (which evolves into Hydrapple).

Appletun has a Gigantamax form which is identical in appearance to Gigantamax Flapple. It can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Appletun if it has the Gigantamax Factor.

Biology

Appletun's eyes

Appletun is a dragon-like Pokémon whose body is reminiscent of apple pie. It is mostly green with a yellow underside and lower jaw, and it has an orange spot on its chest that resembles an apple core.[1] It has a piece of an apple on its head worn as a helmet. Its leaf-like eyestalks usually droop down from under the apple helmet as though they were ears, but may be lifted up to reveal small beady eyes. It has black slits for nostrils on the tip of its muzzle. It has a large hump on its back with several overlapping stripes that resemble an apple pie's crust on top, along with a pair of red and green leaves. It has four short, bulky legs with paws, and a stout tail.

Appletun's body is caked in sweet nectar, whose smell attracts Bug-type Pokémon which Appletun preys on. However, Appletun's primary diet is sweet apples. In order to ward off other Pokémon such as Lechonk from licking the nectar on its back, Appletun can spew a sticky nectar. The skin on its back is said to be tasty, and children used to eat it as a snack.

Appletun is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Apple Acid. Appletun, Flapple, and their pre-evolution Applin are the only known Pokémon that can have Ripen as an Ability.

Forms

Appletun has a Gigantamax form.

When exposed to Gigantamax energy, Appletun's body changes, becoming larger and stouter. A giant apple engulfs most of its body, leaving only its head, neck and tail exposed. Its leaf-like eyestalks stand up straight and it has a piece of the apple covering its head, with yellow carvings on it resembling nostrils. Its cheeks are rounded and it hangs its mouth open, letting its red tongue loll out. Its neck becomes taller and stretches upwards, while its tail becomes elongated and wraps around the base of the apple. Three red clouds float around its neck. Gigantamax Appletun and Flapple are physically identical.

The sweet nectar that covers Appletun's body overflows from the top of its apple after Gigantamaxing, and it increases in thickness as well, allowing it to absorb more damage than normal. Gigantamax Appletun can shoot out massive amounts of nectar, enough to drown its opponents.

Gigantamax Appletun is the only known Pokémon capable of using the G-Max Move G-Max Sweetness.

Trivia

  • Appletun and Flapple are the only Pokémon to have physically identical Gigantamax forms, although they are still treated as different Pokémon as they have distinct Pokédex entries, G-Max Moves, and cries.
    • This is also the only instance of two different species of Pokémon that can be physically identical without the use of Transform, Imposter, or Illusion.
  • Appletun and its evolutionary line:
    • are the only Pokémon that are in the Grass and Dragon Egg Groups.
    • require only 600,000 experience points to reach level 100, the lowest among Generation VIII Pokémon, and the lowest among Dragon-type Pokémon along with Altaria.
  • Despite requiring the Sweet Apple to evolve from Applin, Appletun's signature move, Apple Acid, specifies it uses tart apples to attack.

Origin

Appletun, like its evolutionary relatives, appears to be based on the popular image of a worm burrowing into an apple, as well as a pun on the wyrm, a type of dragon — hence its Dragon typing. Visually, Appletun is similar to reptiles such as tortoises, while its back resembles desserts like the apple pie or the apple turnover. Appletun may also be based on the tale of Bel and the Dragon, about a dragon that bursts open after being fed a cake.

Appletun's Gigantamax form appears to be based on a caramel apple, a candy apple or a baked apple. Appletun and Flapple having identical Gigantamax forms may be a reference to convergent evolution, which can lead to separate organisms independently developing identical characteristics and body plans.

Name origin

Appletun may be derived from apple, Appleton (a toponym denoting a place where apples grow), ton (unit of weight, referencing its bulk), apple turnover, and under.

Tarupple may be a combination of tart, 怠い tarui (sluggish), たっぷり tappuri (onomatopoetic word for plenty), and apple.
