Ok, I've rested up, changed a few moves around, time for round 2. (I did lose friendship though, rip)
This time, I let goathead be the lead for rika as opposed to sprig. She demolishes whiscash with horn leech and camerupts with eq. Pepper tags in to bypass sturdy donphan, then sprig stops dugtrio from setting up sand by outrunning it and flower tricking. Clod protects turn 1 again, but sprig deletes it the next turn anyway.
Pepper once again toasts poppy's copperajah and corviknight, and also bronzong. In fact, Pepper burned through all of Poppy's mons with flamethrower...until tinkaton lands 2 stone misses to defeat him. Shroom barely lives a gigaton hammer before close combat defeats tinkaton.
For Larry, I lead with apple and defeat tropis with fly. I sausage finger fly after apple eats an altaria ice beam and finish it off with sucker punch. I sack bamboo off to have staraptor meet the same fate (and also tank intimidate).
I attempt to read an oncoming flying move by oricorio by tera ing shroom but teeter dance+revelation dance fails to defeat it, and apple is defested by an attempt to dragon pulse ko. I revive the tiny dragon to stall out one turn of confusion caused by revelation dance on sprig, who defeats it with night slashes.
By reviving my apple, when pepper and goathesd get demolished by brave bird and sprig to close combat, the recoil of the former allows me to scrape a win. I have items, I should totally try to use then more
Sprig deletes noivern, and then tags in for apple against dragalge (who resists play rough), but apple gets poisoned after sash kicks in and goes down, so shroom had to rock tomb away the sea dragon. Sprig then demolishes flapple and haxorus.
Sprig tera normals to eat icicle crash from bax after play rough doesn't one shot, and he finishes the dragon with another.
I lead with bamboo as geeta sends out espathra and 2hko witj foil play.(wait, what's the attack stat of espathra? Base 60? How did that work?)
I swap to Apple on gogoat, but bulk up stops his fly from ohkoing and he's defeated by zen headbutt, but Peppers flamethrower gets the Revenge ko.
Sprig deletes veluza, pepper roasts avalugg, and stays in on glimmora to bullet seed.
Glimmora proved too fast for pepper and shroom, both getting smacked by sludge wave, but glimmora was no match for sprigs flower trick. (Before this I took a quick picnic to try and regain friendship with my embittered team, and used all my flags).
The friendship gamble proved a success, as when bamboo giga drained lycanroc, they wished to be praised, and when they were withdrawn for goathead to deal with pawmot (which she did), they did great. (Yay!)
Sprig comes in to deal with goodra via play rough but its left on 1hp. Night slash finishes it off, and then his low kick to orthworm...proved insufficient (and he was defeated by iron tail), though Peppers flamethrower did ko it.
Quaquvals ice spinner made quick work of goathead, but I get the last laugh by apples sash and grav apple koes.
Alright, let's do this one more time. (I'm gonna do normal only Galar for the next one so I don't burn out...another idea came to mind)
Cutscene skip inconsistency again...turning on the feature has been a mistake, hopefully gen 10 fixes it if it does get implemented (or Z-A).
Hilariously, bamboo fails to land Ruination on the hostile glimmora here, they're taking care of the stretch up to the first research station. Nemonas lycanroc ends up doing all the work.
Shroom took over part of the next stretch briefly before pepper tagged in. (Also fun fact: pepper has the gourmet mark. Idk how he got it but he somehow did, idk why the title was disabled. I later found out apple also got it, must have fed them plenty of sandwiches...)
Apple deletes great tusk since dandy's in retirement. He did get fly and I needed flying coverage. (Still wonder why great tusk is small though), and he follows the group to the zero lab.
Apple may also dubiously be the highest levelled I've gotten a mon before post game. By the time I hit the lab, he's already at level 81, and he flattens another great tusk with fly with nemonas lycanroc helping, along with a brute bonnet with help from penny's umbreon (as well as grav apple) and flutter mane with arvens mabosstiff (though he has taken out flutter manes on his own).
Alright, now for ai sada.
Apple is my lead, and he downs slither wing with fly. He tanks an ice punch from scream tail, lands a grav apple, then finishes scream tail off with sucker punch. He dodges a shadow ball from flutter mane and defeats it with 2 sucker punches. I heal when sandy shocks comes in as apple tanks a power gem and flash cannon,and his grav apple Wrecks sandy shocks. Apple tanks a sucker punch from brute bonnet as he takes flight, and slams it into sucker punch range.
Apple sucker punches roaring moon and as I try to set him up for a ko, he gets deleted. That's 5 paradox Pokémon he has fought down. 5!
I send in bamboo, and use payback 3 times to win, and that's it! I've beaten the game witj only grass types.
Final thoughts as i do the koraidon mirror off screen:
Wow, this was tough. Grass havjng many weaknesses made it hard, and there were so many times a run could have ended, katy, atticus, larry e4...the fact that i managed to get to area zero is nothing short of a miracle. Scovillain and flapple proved to be pretty strong, and gogoat once again proves why it's one of the best of kalos. That said, I'm not gonna do anymore mono grass runs anytime soon, too many counters, too many weaknesses etc.
Now about my next playthrough idea... I'm want to see if I can best pokemon sword...with non galarian pokemon. That's it. I genuinely want flexibility back after using this team, and i do want to go back to sword, and came up with the idea under the logic that "I've done a full Galar mons only team, why not do the inverse?" Though I need a break from pokemon for a bit, so maybe not so soon...

Episode 9:
https://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000003925893
Apparently ting lu is no match for guranteed crits...(of course). Chi yu better not be a let down now.
...and maybe I may have ground too much (taking down a level 75 tera steel dnite in particular). Nvm, let's take eri down.
Pepper has zen headbutt, which demolishes croagunk at the gates but primeape defeats him, but shrooms poison Jab and mach punch make quick work of the angry lil fuzzball. The 2 later work witj goathead to ransack the base.
Peppers zen headbutt deletes toxicroak, and he melts through passimian after that threat didn't work. He then survives a rage fist with the power of friendship before incinerating annihilape, then I let him rest by having goathead take out lucario via eq.
I send in bamboo to weaker the car but ended up giving 2 stamina boosts via Ruination, and apple only dents it a bit more via dragon pulse.
Guranteed crit doesn't work....soon goathead and a 1hp Pepper were left. Luckily yhe car used spin out, which allowed goathead to slowly take it down with eq as it tried to reset its stats. Also yay, close combat for shroom!
(Also decided to resolve this first as it just so happened to be night time when I beat eri, so clavell and penny were pulled forward over arven).
I lead with bamboo, but they get yawned after getting off a single Ruination so I swap to sprig to beat oranguru before swapping to Pepper to incinerate abomasnow.
I tera apple to dark to fight gyarados, and after trading sucker punches with Stone edge and aqua tail, takes down the giant sea serpent, and pepper fights amoonguss but gets poisoned (dispelling it with the power of friendship).
I swap apple back in, but will o miss connects and sucker punch read fail->shell smash insta set up. (Apples last sucker punch pp does finish it off with the lowered defenses)
Goathead fights the tera skeledirge, but 2 eqs wasn't enough as the second one left skeledirge on 1hp. I forgot I ran out of sucker punches and swap on apple, but his tera blast dark deletes the Croc anyway.
(Also I tried to see if van nasty plot TM, but raifort wants to see all 4 of the treasures of ruin. Oof.)
Bamboo fights umbreon with leech seed and Ruination, ultimately coming out on top. They then tag into pepper to fight leafeon, who gets roasted by a single flamethrower.
Goathead defeats all 3 original eeveelution:s flareon and jolteon with eq, vaporeon with 2 horn leech (Also oddly enough jolteon landed 2 thunders on her, without rain support).
Sylveon...uhh..I had bamboo use Snarl twice to weaken it (wanted to stall it with tera grass but their tera was dark, so there goes that).
I tera shroom and hurl 2 rock tombs at sylveon, and moonblasts nearly ended my mushroom, luckily she survived one barely with shell bell support to ko sylveon with rock tomb. (Also after this was likely only the third time my skip cutscenes options did anything, which is odd.)
Now to deal with this...
I misclick rock tomb trying to take this pic before going into close combat as intended. Pepper trades fire with arvens own scovillain and wins, before taggkng shroom back in to close combat garganacl. CC doesn't ko, allowing rocks to get set up before shroom clobbered the walkkng salt pile.
Sprig night slashes toedscruel to bits, then pepper loaded dice bullet seeds cloyster into oblivion.
Mabostiffs intimidate meant I had to sack off pepper, but shroom also gets koed whole going for close combat. I tera normal sprig to get a low kick off (and survive play rough but rocks...)
Bamboo gets off one Ruination before falling (they missed the first one). Finally, goatheads horn leech finished it off.
This is the first time I did arven after penny or nemona, so this dialog is new to me. Now, to the pokemon league!
Rikas whiscash falls to sprigs flower trick, but he gets yawned by cameruot after a night slash, forcing goathead to tank a fire blast on the switch in. Pepper deletes donphan and dugtrio with bullet seed but fails to stop sand from going up.
Clodsire teras and protects, stopping Peppers bullet seeds for one turn, but falls to them anyway.
Pepper unleashes his fire breath, melting copperajah and corviknight into scrap. He then tags out into sprig, who defeats bronzong (it might have heat proof!)
Bamboo handles magnezone, I intended to have bamboo stall out light screen but they defeat magnezone anyway via leech seed and Snarl.
I tera shroom to rock to eat tinkatons play rough, which she does, and then retaliate with close combat for the win. Shroom later teras to rock turn 1 against larrys flying types.
Tropius is poisoned by Poison Jab and is defeated by 2 of that. I swap to bamboo to eat staraptors intimidate and they only get a single Ruination of before getting defeated, and staraptors close combat ended my best way to deal witj mu flying weakness. Apples sucker punch ends staraptor for good.
Apple tanks an ice beam from altaria before firing back with dragon pulse and finishing it off witj sucker punch. He's then defeated by oricorio, who is roasted by pepper.
Brave bird deletes pepper and sprig, and goathead falls too, but because she fell first I have to rematch everyone again...
I think I'll wrap up here for today, I'll see if I van beat the league tomorrow. (Maybe I should use one of those max revives I got from mariam...)
Episode 8:
https://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000003924131
Fun fact: I considered doing the treasures of ruin sidequest to gain exp by beating them in battle, but decided that w
ould be dumb and would be a bit tedious...
I also kitted out my team to the best of my ability. (Why is toxic orb post game???)
Shroom proceeded to bury frosmotj in a rockslide before getting defeated by beartic. Pepper fries beartic after setting up the sun before falling to cetitans ice shard, and apple picks it off with sucker punch.
I send in sprig to kick altaria, but he's confused by hurricane and self kos. Goathead dodges 2 hurricanes to finish it off. Also, I change my mind, I am gonna challenge the treasures of ruin after all.
I also add wo chien to the team, replacing dandy (it was either her or apple, amd I decided to keep apple),
Chien pao was surprisingly easy, shroom just dodged a Ruination, hurled rock tomb af it and mach punch for the w.
I'm not strictly just blitzing through this either, I never heard of this in the game but I had to see, it's beautiful!
Welp, my switch ran out of juice before I could get to ting lus seal, so I'll beat it and chi yu next time before I fight eri.
Episode 7:
https://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000003924039
After the last eps disaster that was atticus, sure hope the rest of the run is slightly smoother. Luckily, I have 2 mons (sprig and apple) who can smack ryme for super effective damage. (And also no amoonguss unless I change my mind when I reach a late game arra with a wild one, level 39 is nuts...)
And also, maybe I'll fight ortega first, not dozo, tatsugiri would probably be a pain to fight through underlevelled. Anywho, time for ryme. She starts with mimikyu and I have a plan on how to get around that Disguise...
The idea was of course, use dandy and goathead together, the latter able to use eq via the formers flying type. It wasn't a one shot like I hoped, but banette still goes down and give the 2 of them an omniboost, and they gained another via taking out banette.
Houndstone went for phantom force so dandy and goathead gang up on and beat toxtricity, and houndstone is the last to fall due to falling to break through goatheads...bulk.
I wonder how my gogoats have tanked so much punishment witj defenses like that? Is it's hp?
Anywho, time for another academy lesson montage, be right bac-
I have to beat grusha first? Aww...welp, let's get going to ortegas base then. (Their levels are all in the 50s? Aww...guess I have to go to alfornada...I hate this part...)
...so, uh, apparently all I had to do was follow the torches to escape the cavern. Oof.
As for nemona, apple got sand attacked but grav apple still picks up the ko. Sprig then handles sliggoo and goathead defeats pawmot (who lived on 1hp briefly).
Spore fail...dandy barely gets the ko becuz aqua step hits so hard for a resisted hit. As for the esp, pepper was my partner. His 2 heads were comedic to see deal with the emotions, and his loaded dice bullet seeds destroyed everything. Now to tulip. I intend on having Sprig night slash through everything, but will I get my wish?
Gardevoir sadly stopped sprig from sweeping (he barely hung on via power of friendship), so I swap to apple to take down espathra and florges.
Ofc, florges downs the apple, but sprig is able to deliver 1 last night slash to finish it. Oh and I unlocked the last few bits of the lessons! Yay! Time to get that last minute power boost to be able to face down whatevers left.
Phew, that's a lot, and I did some of the side quest to get tera rock breloom. (I also changed sprigs tera to normal in the event he has yo tera, as grass/dark has sk many weakeneses, and then changed dandys type yo dragon because grass and flying isn't a good mix+the lols)
Hello there, my favourite dragon. Wish me luck as I go into lag lake behind them to get rid of dondozo.
Dandy easily stalls out dozos first phase. Phase 2 goes similarly well.
Since tatsugiri resists grass, I tera dandy into dragon to blast away at it while also using leech seed for sustain.
At ortegas base, I ckear our Harrington with ease witj peppers bullet seeds and he defeats the star barrage with help from dandy and goathead. His bullet seeds also quickly take care off ortegas azumarill, wigglytuff, and dachsbun. In fact, he soloed the car itself as well and severely dented it witj flamethrower before going down, and goatheads eqs finished it off for good.
Well, I'm in the endgame now, I think my remaining order will be grusha->eri->arven->clavell->penny->e4 and geeta, the nemona->area zero. Hopefully this doesn't come back to bite me...
Episode 6:
https://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000003923872
I decided to see if my new breloom trump card witj poison heal can beat atticus. I load sprig, pepper and olive witj pechas once more before heading in.
Skuntank stays asleep for 4 turns via spore but finishes shroom witj venoshock, but shroom puts it in flower trick range.
Sprig hone claws but flower trick doesn't defeat muk and he goes down, but pepper beats it with zen headbutt before melting revavroom 1 to scrap but gets flattened by revavroom 2.
The car is aggressive so I have apple triple sucker punch but it doesn't dent it much before 3 neutral noxious torque crush him. Olive engages in a brief stall out but t spikes puts a strain on her grassy terrain and I sack her off to try and have pepper defeat it but he also goes down followed by dandy. Maybe 4th times the charm...can I get full restores yet? "Must beat all 8 gym badges first" Aw come on!
So it has stench....shroom is equipped witj Mud Shot now but still goes down. Sprig gets 2 low kicks off to best it.
Sprig gets 2 flower trick off before fainting, peppers zen headbutt defeats it and revavroom is once again reduced to scrap. I then spam hyper potions on pepper to pp stall noxious torque, but tje moment I tried to have pepper attack je went down.
I use tera blast dark and a bit of healing on apple yo reduce its hp more effectively (sucker punches BP of 70<tera blast BP of 80)...but because I deleted acrobatics I still lose...
Jeez...4 losses...to th3 same guy...and it's not like Cynthia either....
Round 5, slapped facade on sprig, hopefully this can do something now. This allowed him to deal severe damage to skuntank...but my luck still goes wrong as shroom is koed by muk, pepper too because of zen headbutt miss, and apple gets defeated by the last revavroom...who also makes quick work of olive.
5! 5 losses in a row! Jeez...
I'm not ditching you again,goathead, welcome back. (She has eq).
Because she's the goat, goatheads eq plows through the 1st 3 mons, so now when she faints, I still have 5 mons to take down the car as opposed to just 3 like last time. (It just took apple, dandy and sprig jn that order) My guilt about benching skiddo was justified after all. No more team hobbling, gogoat is gonna be my wall, no ifs about it. (I do retire olive as she has like, 0 coverage, and put shroom in her place)
Rymes next on the chopping block, followed by dozo. The rest...I'll decide later!
Episode 5:
https://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000003922400
Ok, so I've mulled my options, I think I'll use brambleghast a bit more before swapping to the tera rock breloom hanging around medali (which solves it's weaknesses) if I genuinely can't find any use/enjoyment out of using it. Anywho, time for Kofu, one of the few times I won't be struggling. I'm gonna attempt to make tumble work.
Tumble easily outruns and defeats veluza with 2 mega Drains, tanks wugtrios water pulses befkr3 doing the same (which is odd considering wugtrio has like next to no hp and bulk).
Tumble dodges a crabhammer (but gets hit by 1 later), and despite being a ghost type, survives long enough to overwhelm crabominable. (Too add insult to injury, Kofus "I'm using my strongest move!" screen popping up, crabhammer missed). Yep, you've earned your spot lil guy, who needs breloom anyway, it will just be a tera sink, and that's no good.
Ok, this may be stupid, but I have dandy. She has leech seed and acrobatics. I should be able to use that to at least overwhelm it over time.
With mega drain, leech seed and mega drain, dandy is able to chip away at great tusk with relative ease.
That said, for phase 2 I decode to play it safe and lead witj sprig, who's much higher leveled. He surprisingly outspeed on the first turn before tusk spins and even tanks a spin, before falling to a brick break despite not being weak to it (flower trick did shred the hp bar though)
Dandy defeats it with acrobatics, giving everyone a much needed exp boost.
Tumble battles the guard of atticus base, and because I doubled into cobfuse ray I burn tera just to get past gulpin with hex. Shroodle also walled him a bit, but the level gap was enough for 2 bullet seeds to finish the job (time for loaded dice!), before he, sprig and pepper ransacked the base (with only Tumble coming out with minimal damage).
For the first time, I fail to play around skuntanks sucker punch and sprig goes down, and olive is able to take it down with grassy terrain boosted energy ball. Muk proved problematic, easily destroying pepper and severely wounding apple (who took it out barely before falling to revavroom).
Revavroom then shreds through olive and a revived apples sucker punch wasn't enough for the ko, but it is defeated by confuse ray...and then the other Revavroom flattens both Tumble and dandy. Oh well...
This time, my tera orb was recharged, and everyone's got a pecja berry to deal witj poison (apple and dandy have acrobatics so they had to skip).
This time, the pecha berry allows sprig to absorb 1 poison and defeat skuntank. I full the 2nd toxic off as sprig goes down.
Pepper roasts muk but still gets defeated, but apple is able to swap in and ko witj acrobatics.
I tera apple and get 2 sucker punches off on revavroom and attempt a disrespect acrobatics but he loses the speed tie and dandy manages to defeat it with acrobatics.
That said, I get flattened by the car again...this is the most Ls I've taken in one of these playthroughs...
Added a Poison heal shroomish (used a random salandit to test, got one on the second attempt) to the team (and also added foongus but I was a bit torn on who to replace, so it's currently chilling in the box, and probably will be for the rest of the run as idk what to do with it without regenerator, and after evolving breloom, idk what else it can give to the team). Anywho, I decided to defeat Larry first...and forgot I still had to deal witj nemona....after beating Larry. Alright then.
Despite being underlevelled, shroom is able to hold her own against the medali trainers. Her mach punches deal a lot of damage despite the level disparity and no technician. She even 1v1d and defeated larrys komala on her own.
Dudunsparce was handled by meowscarada and I then decided to let dandy handle stara...oops intimidate. Nvm, acrobatics has high BP, surely that and tera would give me some even ground against this.
It was a tough back and forth, but dandy ultimately came out on top. Now to beat nemona.
Shroom managed to take down lycanroc with ease...and then I accidentally hit the tera button. Uh...
Whyd have to be you...anywho goomy fells shroom and my tera with it, but apple defeats it with acrobatics.
Apple gets paralysed by pawmo, and then sucker punch fails to block quick attack (must have thought it worked like upper hand) but still beats it in the end.
Olive is plagued by bad luck as I try to beat quaquaval, and so does apple fall. Fine, I'll have sprig finish it off. (He does...and oddly nemona used aqua step on him despite the move being resisted...and it nearly defeated him. I need to stop being so dodgy around these starter vs starter battles)
Anywho, next time, I'm gonna take revenge on atticus for that utter humiliation and hopefully stop flip flopping around reach grass types I want to take to the endgame.
I'm currently in a bit of a bind about my mono grass team (meowscarada, jumpluff, tera dark flapple, brambleghast, scovillain, arboliva). I mentioned that brambleghast didn't do anything in my last playthrough post and wanted to replace it with breloom...
And then I remembered breloom was 4x weak to flying and that could pose a problem, so now I'm unsure if I should replace brambleghast with breloom (or just evolve the skiddo i have in storage into. gogoat and use that instead as gogoat served me decently well a while back). What do I do?
(Context: Defeated giacomo, mela for starfall street, katy, brassius and iono for victory road and klawf, bombirdier and orthworm for path of legends)
Episode 4:
https://pokemon.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000003922273
This was an unexpected surprise. I'm not sure if base lilligant is helpful but it has tera steel, and my team desperately needs defensive
defensive shoring up. (Oh and own tempo...wait...I found a mismagiys counter, Shame its only level 12...probably will maybe give it a go, though ultimately olive managed to retain his spot).
(Oh and something I noticed is I got no tera shards despite doing lots of raids, in fact, midway through this play session before fighting orthwrom was the first time i got tera shards from a tera poison axew, so I guess only 3 stars and above give tera shards, I was assuming I needed to go to medali first when i noticed mo tera shards)
Uh, hopefully me hyperlevelling everyone should prove helpful here.
Rockruff proved easy to overcome, despite double team popping up, but terrain boosted mega drain did the job, and pawmis charged required 2 hits to ko (which also proved problematic against ionos fans/gym trainers) Also olive was getting outspeed, but dolliv has the speed of stakataka, and was able to fire back boosted mega Drains to sweep through.
Apple attacks wastrel with rollout but fails to survive long enough to ko it, but dandy's Fairy Wind is enough to faint the bird.
Goathead engages in a battle of endurance witj bellibolt, getting fully paralyzed a lot before power of friendship deletes the paralysis and mud slap downs bellibolt.
Not taking any chances, I tera olive in front of luxio to beat it...and accidentally gave up my hex immunity. This is gonna be tough...
It was down to the wire, but olives bulk and powerful mega drain prevails.
Thanks to now having 3 gym badges, I can now add flapple and scovillain to the team. (Bramblin also gets added on because an immunity is neat, replacing Goathead, which I quickly evolve)
Orthwrom proves extremely easy, it's high weight being used against it by sprigs low kick. It's high defense meant nothing. Anywho, let's take a quick detour to the school and see if I unlocked the midterms. (I did! Alright, cue the montage!)
Terapagos makes option A weird in hindsight...
Ok, I've done all available classes, so it's time to see if I can handle mela with bare minimum coverage. (As an additional precaution I evolve sprig into meowscarada with another raids worth of xp candies)
I packed zen headbutt to a dark type fight as coverage...pepper had to go for growth here to take it out. Pepper later worked with apple and sprig to take on the star barrage, and ironically he was the only one who sustained major damage, needing a vending machine heal and all.
Pepper uses the sun to get +2 in both offenses and miss a zen headbutt and clear smog undoes my progress. He gets that back and land zen headbutt but is defeated, though apple defeats it with dragon pulse and dents the car with 2 sucker punches and a dragon pulse before going down.
Sprig goes in and lands 2 low kicks that deal a lot of damage but it's still not enough and he's roasted to bits by overheat. Luckily, Olive was tanky enough to eat 2 blazing torques and heal off with mega drain+ability. Teamwork at its finest!
Sadly, Pepper can't use this. Im also unsure if i should attempt to jam sunny day on his moveset just for him to activate Chlorophyll, eh, probably better not.
Look at Apple go. He blasted through the gym trainers with relative ease. (Meanwhile brambleghast)
I'll wrap up here, Kofu is definitely going down next episode, and I'm so getting a breloom to replace brambleghast, I've not used it at all...
I WAITED YEARS FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, AND AFTER A LONG TIME, MY APPLE BOY IS IN CAFE REMIX!!!!!
I made a Cafe Steenee and Appletun GX card before years ago, it finally came true!!!!
Also, I am super excited for Champions. If we have Megas and Tera types in one battle, Z-moves, Dynamax, and Gigantamax will most likely debut too. I can't wait to see the randomest things that would never battle, like Eternatus and Ogerpon, Something that could never happen unless hacked.
Based of the company of apple, I haven't finished appletun, I am not planning to have dripplin or hydrapple
Why did gamefreak do this? They made a split evolution line for applin and in flapple and appletuns gmax form, you cant tell them apart! What’s even crazier is they did it again with toxtricity! Like why did they do this it makes zero sense!
I dare you to guess which one is Appletun gmax and flapple gmax: (image from serebii)
(Edited by administrators)
Tried to make it look more like a dragon type
This is an idea proposed by @ScorpionTail , it’s a convergent applin Pokémon called Mandalin from mandarin a type of orange and applin. It is an orange instead and based on worms (it cannot see and is blind) and the phrase ‘comparing apples and oranges’ this is reflected in its nature in the Pokédex entry:
It has a fierce nature against Applin and their respective evolutions. It has tough skin on its bottom half. The eyes on their head are deceptive and for defensive purposes.
It evolves into Soarange (convergent flapple) or Tangertun? (convergent Appletun)
I need help with a name for tangertun tho

Will Applin get more evos with Hydrapple? I know it is a three stage Pokémon as Hydrapple, but I would like to see more. Feel free to make a Fakemon apple themed!

So what if an Applin got smacked with all three apples-
Yeah so basically Dipplin is engraved into all my thoughts at this point (although i already have a Dipplin oc, so i did this to change it up a bit) because i can’t get this theme outta my head and yk, Dipplin is like, the guy’s main Pokémon. No really i have actually had this theme stuck in my head for 25 hours straight yes i have done the math s e n d h e l p
This post is locked.
Why is it an evolution? It would work perfectly fine as a past Paradox form. Just call it, like "Dipping Spine" or something.
It, in my opinion, ruins the thing the Applin line had going. Until now, Applin evolved into 2 different kinds of Pokemon: one where it broke out of the apple, and one where it stayed in the apple. Now there's one where it broke and 2 where it stayed in. Sure, you could argue that Flapple is it breaking out, Dipplin is it staying in, and Appletun is only fusing with it, but Flapple kind of fused with it too, using it as body parts, just to a lesser extent than Appletun. Dipplin didn't fuse with it all. It also ruins the thing of Applin's evolutions having the same Gigantamax form (which Applin resembles for some reason). It also ruined the fact that Applin evolved via version exclusive items only.
It looks way too similar to Applin. The only differences in the design are the spike, the lack of brown, and that the apple is melting. 3. 3 differences.
