#1011 Dipplin

“Dipplin (Japanese: カミッチュ Kamicchu) is a dual-type Grass/Dragon Pokémon introduced during Generation IX, in The Teal Mask.

It evolves from Applin when exposed to a Syrupy Apple and evolves into Hydrapple when leveled up while knowing Dragon Cheer. It is one of Applin’s three branched Evolutions, the others being Flapple and Appletun.

Dipplin is a worm-like Pokémon that lives inside an apple. In contrast to Applin‘s other evolutions, Dipplin bears a strong resemblance to Applin. Unlike Applin, however, Dipplin appears to be composed of a pair of separate creatures known as “wyrms“; the head and tail visible outside of Dipplin’s apple appear to belong to two different ones.^[1] The head belongs to the “fore-wyrm” while the tail belongs to the “core-wyrm“. Both of Dipplin’s bodies are light green, with a yellow-green underside. The fore-wyrm’s head has two large yellow leaf-like eyestalks with small black pupils, and a tall, thin protrusion similar to a horn or an antenna. The core-wyrm’s tail that sticks out from Dipplin’s rear has two leaf-like features on it.

Dipplin’s evolution is said to have been triggered by the Syrupy Apple, found exclusively in Kitakami. The pair that composes Dipplin works together inside their shared apple. They are capable of producing syrup, which they use to coat their apple in layers. This syrup has a fragrant scent that captivates Dipplin’s opponents. They can use the syrup to engulf their opponents and hinder them.

Dipplin and its evolved form, Hydrapple, are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Syrup Bomb and the only known Pokémon that can have Supersweet Syrup as an Ability.”–Bulbapedia.
