How To Get Dipplin And Hydrapple In Pokemon Go

Pokemon Go is celebrating the arrival of fall with the Harvest Festival event from October 10-16. Fall-themed Pokemon like Miltank, Smoliv, and Combee will be appearing more frequently over the next few days, but most exciting is the arrival of two new Pokemon: Dipplin and its evolved form, Hydrapple.

Dipplin is another alternate evolution of Applin, originally introduced as part of the Teal Mask DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Like Applin’s other evolved forms, however, you’ll need to collect a new type of item–Syrupy Apples–before you can get one, and they’re a little difficult to get your hands on. Here are some tips to help you get Dipplin and Hydrapple in Pokemon Go.

How To Get Dipplin

The easiest way to obtain Dipplin is to evolve one from Applin, but you’ll need to collect quite a few items first. Specifically, you need 200 Applin Candy and 20 Syrupy Apples to trigger the evolution.

Syrupy Apples are a new type of item introduced as part of the Harvest Festival event, and they can be found at PokeStops. Once you’ve collected the requisite items, you can evolve Applin into Dipplin right from the Pokemon’s detail page.

How To Get Syrupy Apples

Like Sweet Apples and Tart Apples (which are required to evolve Applin into Appletun or Flapple, respectively), the primary way to obtain Syrupy Apples is at PokeStops. Set a Mossy Lure Module at one of these waypoints, and apples will periodically appear on the map while the module is active.

Once you see an apple, simply tap on the item to collect it. However, not every apple can be picked up; sometimes tapping on one will trigger an encounter with a wild Pokemon, so you’ll need patience and persistence while trying to collect them.

How To Evolve Dipplin Into Hydrapple

You won’t need any more Syrupy Apples to get a Hydrapple, but you will need to have a lot of candy saved up. It costs 400 Applin candy to evolve Dipplin into Hydrapple. On top of that, you must catch seven dragon-type Pokemon while Dipplin is set as your buddy before you can trigger the evolution, adding a further complication to the process.

It typically takes quite a long time to collect 400 candy, but there are a few ways to expedite the process. Since Applin is appearing more frequently during the Harvest Festival event, make sure to use a Pinap Berry before catching the Pokemon to increase the amount of candy you get as a reward. You can also convert any Rare Candy you have stocked up into Applin candy, which will help you reach the 400 requirement faster.

Can Dipplin And Hydrapple Be Shiny?

Since shiny Applin has not yet been added to Pokemon Go, you can’t yet get a shiny Dipplin or Hydrapple in the mobile game. There’s no indication when shiny Applin will make its Pokemon Go debut, but new shiny Pokemon are typically introduced during special events, so it’ll likely arrive as part of some future event.

The Harvest Festival is underway until October 16, but there are plenty of other events still in store for this month, including a Pokemon Legends: Z-A crossover and the annual Halloween celebration.
