Pokédex Entries for Flapple

Generation 8 Pokédex Entries

Normal

Sword
It ate a sour apple, and that induced its evolution. In its cheeks, it stores an acid capable of causing chemical burns.
Shield
It flies on wings of apple skin and spits a powerful acid. It can also change its shape into that of an apple.

Gigantamax

Sword
Under the influence of Gigantamax energy, it produces much more sweet nectar, and its shape has changed to resemble a giant apple.
Shield
If it stretches its neck, the strong aroma of its nectar pours out. The scent is so sickeningly sweet that one whiff makes other Pokémon faint.
