Hydrapple (Japanese: カミツオロチ Kamitsuorochi) is a dual-type Grass/Dragon Pokémon introduced in Generation IX, with The Indigo Disk.
It evolves from Dipplin when leveled up while knowing Dragon Cheer. It is one of Applin's final forms, the others being Flapple and Appletun.
Biology
Hydrapple is a Pokémon which comprises seven separate snake-like entities, known as "syrpents", living together inside a large, red syrup structure shaped like an apple. Each syrpent has yellow, leaf-shaped eyes, a long, green body with a pale yellow underside, and a tail tipped with green, leaf-like ornaments. Only three of the seven syrpents are always visible outside of the syrup: the one on the center acting as the "primary" head commanding the entire group, and two on the Pokémon's rear acting as its tails. The centermost syrpent has the longest body out of all the syrpents, and is further distinguished by its two horns, with the left one having an apple stuck on it. Sometimes, the other four syrpents composing Hydrapple may emerge out of the syrup, making the Pokémon appear to have five heads.
Each individual syrpent that forms Hydrapple has an unstable mood. Rarely, all of the syrpents will have their moods aligned, which lets them unleash their true power.
Hydrapple is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Fickle Beam.

Origin
Hydrapple seems to be based on Ladon, the multi-headed serpent-like dragon from Greek mythology that guarded the golden apples in the Garden of the Hesperides, historically said to be located in the Iberian Peninsula or the Canary Islands, thus explaining its connection to Paldea. Like its evolutionary relatives, Hydrapple also 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. Like its pre-evolution Dipplin, Hydrapple has visual similarities with candy apples and caramel apples. Hydrapple also appears to be based on the Lernaean Hydra, a many-headed serpentine monster from Greek mythology; and the Yamata no Orochi, an eight-headed dragon or serpent from Japanese mythology.
The connection between the syrpents and the apple present in Hydrapple's design could draw inspiration from the Christian myth of the original sin, where is a serpent the one who makes Eve bite the Forbidden fruit, commonly represented as an apple due to the influence of the previously mentioned Hesperides myth. Along these lines, Hydrapple's seven heads could then reference the number of cardinal sins, as well as the seven-headed dragon from the Book of Revelation.
Name origin
Hydrapple may be a combination of Hydra and apple.
Kamitsuorochi may be a combination of 果 ka (fruit), 花蜜 kamitsu (nectar), and 八岐大蛇 Yamata no Orochi.
