Appletun's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Appletun PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Appletun has an excellent HP stat of 242 but it suffers from low ATK and DEF. 😐

Even Flapple can at least score some passable damage in PvE battles, but Appletun just isn’t cutting it.

⚔️ Raids

Too low of a damage output makes it just wrong to use Appletun in Raids. Avoid doing so!

🛡️ Gyms

Low DEF stat tones down whatever value the high HP offered. Plus, it has a double weakness to Ice, and other weaknesses to Bug, Dragon, Fairy, Flying, and Poison. Ultimately, it's not a good Gym defender. ☹️

🔮 Dynamax Pokémon

GMax and DMax forms of Appletun are yet to debut in Pokémon GO. Its Gigantamax form could become a viable Grass-type attacker with GMax Sweetness, but Gigantamax Flapple will likely be much better.

💎 Appletun’s best moveset for PvE is: Bullet Seed and Seed Bomb.

Appletun PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Thanks to its high HP and PvP-friendly moves, the bulky Appletun has a respectable outing in the Great League. It manages to beat Serperior, Corviknight, Galarian Corsola, Malamar, Grumpig, Shadow Annihilape, Blastoise, Morpeko, Shadow Quagsire, and Jellicent. 🙂

Its biggest strength is its list of triple resistances (Grass, Water, and Electric). Add its bulk into the picture, and you can see why Appletun excels against these powerful types! 😁

🟡 Ultra League

Whatever steam Appletun brings to the Great League completely fizzles out in the Ultra League, where it simply can't beat the format’s meta. Moreover, a Grass/Dragon type has to contend with its many weaknesses in this format, lowering its strength considerably. 📉

🟣 Master League

Appletun loses hard in the Master League. You're just asking for this Pokémon to get eaten alive by bringing it to this format. 😅

💎 Appletun's best moveset for PvP is: Astonish, Seed Bomb, and Outrage.
