    How to Get Dipplin & Hydrapple in Pokemon GO (Applin Evolution Line, Explained)

    Applin evolutions in Pokemon GO

    Dipplin and Hydrapple, who are both connected to the Applin evolution line, are being added into the game starting on the 2025 Harvest Festival event. While it is possible that either Hydrapple, Dipplin, or even both of these Pokemon may appear as a featured spawn in various events, a Raid Boss, or via Field Research Tasks and Collection challenges, evolution is one way to guarantee you can obtain them.

    Applin is the basic Pokemon in question for this evolution line. As Applin has already been in Pokemon GO prior to this event, alongside its other evolutions, Flapple, and Appletun. Because of this, players can instead seek out an Applin and evolve it into Dipplin, then further evolve that Dipplin into Hydrapple.

    The Harvest Festival 2025 event also features numerous opportunities to encounter Applin. This includes the likes of rare wild spawns, Field Research Tasks/Collection Challenge rewards, and even Paid Timed Research. Players can make the most of this to get their hands on Applin and one or more of its evolutions.

    A complete breakdown on how to obtain Applin and evolve it into Dipplin and Hydrapple has been included below.

    How to Get Applin in Pokemon GO

    In Pokemon GO, Applin is available only as a wild spawn, meaning it may only be available in some areas or under certain circumstances. However, Applin may also have opportunities to appear on a more frequent basis through themed events.

    One such event is none other than this very Harvest Festival 2025 event. During this period, Applin is featured as a rare wild spawn, giving players the chance to snag the little critter.

    How to Evolve Applin into Dipplin in Pokemon GO

    To evolve Applin into Dipplin in Pokemon GO, players must first collect not only a grand total of 200 Applin Candy, but also a certain quantity of an item called Syrupy Apples – 20 Syrupy Apples, to be exact.

    Syrupy Apples can be acquired by interacting with PokeStops utilizing Mossy Lure Modules, and during Harvest Festival 2025, Syrupy Apples have an increased chance of appearing. Once you have got your Candy and Apples ready, you can simply progress with the evolution from your Pokemon’s profile.

    How to Evolve Dipplin into Hydrapple in Pokemon GO

    The evolution process changes yet again when it comes to evolving Dipplin into Hydrapple. First of all, players will need to obtain 400 Applin Candy. You then also need to assign Dipplin as your Pokemon GO Buddy and capture seven different Dragon Type monsters while Dipplin is Active in the Buddy spot.

    Aside from evolving into Dipplin, then further evolving into Hydrapple as a stage 3, Applin has two other stage 2 options to consider. Instead, players can follow a similar process but with different items to evolve Applin into either Flapple or Appletun. These other evolution options have been outlined below.

    How to Evolve Applin into Flapple in Pokemon GO

    Applin can evolve into Flapple by Collecting 200 Applin Candy and 20 Tart Apples. Tart Apples are earned the same way as Syrupy Apples – by interacting with Mossy Lure PokeStops. Tapping on them rewards Trainers with Tart Apples, Sweet Apples, or Syrupy Apples, or even encounters with Pokemon, including Applin.

    How to Evolve Applin into Appletun in Pokemon GO

    The process for the Appletun evolution is much the same as that of evolving Applin into Flapple or Dipplin. The only difference is that you will need Sweet Apples for this result, rather than Tart Apples or Syrupy Apples. To evolve Applin into Appletun, simply collect 200 Applin Candy and 20 Sweet Apples, then progress via the evolution button on Applin’s profile.
