Dipplin is a cute candied apple evolution of Applin, the dragon- and grass-type apple Pokémon.

Added as part of the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Teal Mask DLC, you can evolve your Applin into Dipplin when you meet certain requirements.

Below, we explain both where to find Applin and how to evolve Applin into Dipplin.


Where to find Applin

You can find Applin even without the DLC in any of the locations below:

You can use a dragon-type sandwich to help boost the encounter rate of Applin. We use the “Great Avocado Sandwich” which consists of avocado, smoked fillet, tomato, and salt. With this sandwich, we didn’t even have to knock it out of trees — they were just rolling around outside of Medali.


How to evolve Applin into Dipplin

Just like Applin’s other evolution options, Flapple and Appletun, you need a special item to evolve Applin into Dipplin: a Syrupy Apple.

You can find a Syrupy Apple in the southeast corner of Kitakami, called the Mossfell Confluence, as marked below. You can buy as many as you like from a fruit stand for $500 each.

Once you have the item, you can use it from your inventory to evolve Applin, the same way you would evolve a Pokémon using an evolution stone.

Even if you don’t have the DLC, you can still get a Dipplin by either having a friend (with the DLC) trade you one or trade you a a Pokémon holding a Syrupy Apple.
