Dipplin (Japanese: カミッチュ, Hepburn: Kamitchu) is a Grass/Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
It is a new regional evolution of Applin.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Dipplin is a green worm like Pokémon that lives in a red apple spewing a similarly colored mixture. It’s head greatly resembles the head of Applin, but with a long, thin protuberance in the middle of its eyestalks. Its tail is green with a tan underside and green leaf-like growths sticking out of it.
Behavior[]
Dipplin’s head and tail are considered two separate creatures that work together to move around.
Natural Abilities[]
Dipplin has the ability to produce a sweet syrup from its body. This syrup can be used to beguile opponents. This syrup is used in its signature move, Syrup Bomb, and its signature ability, Supersweet Syrup.

Trivia[]
- Dipplin is the only member of a split-evolution Pokémon family that evolves twice but has its other members evolve once.
- Oddly, prior to Hydrapple's introduction, Dipplin could use Eviolite upon its debut in The Teal Mask.
Origin[]
Much like the rest of its evolutionary line, Dipplin is based on the trope of worms in apples, with the added pun on the wyrm, a type of dragon. Additionally, it is based on the candied apple, a type of apple which is coated in sugar and sold in festivals.
Etymology[]
Dipplin is a combination of dip (referring to the candy mixture) and Applin.
It’s Japanese name, Kammichu, is a combination of 花蜜 kamitsu (nectar), 虫 chū (bug), and カジッチュ Kajicchu (Applin)
