PvE Analysis
The Grass/Dragon Applin is a wyrm in an apple. 🍎
The only moves it has are Astonish and Struggle. 🫨
Wow, it rhymed! 🤗
So yes, Applin is good for poems and lore. 🙂
Raids or Gyms? No, it’s not a PvE core. 🫠
PvP Analysis
Astonish is a great PvP move in general,
but when the only Charged Move Applin has is Struggle,
it can only struggle in battles. 🙁
