10 Underused Pokémon You're TOTALLY Wrong About
8. Appletun
As underused as they come, Appletun is a baked pie that gets left on the window-sill while all of its friends are out battling. Although it has an interesting design, Appletun is overlooked because of its very poor base speed stat. Unfortunately, there isn’t much in terms of a strategy to speed Appletun up. In addition to this the Dragon/ Grass dual-type has a plethora of vulnerabilities.
Due to this, most players fail to see the potential edge Appletun can bring to a competitive battle. With some of the highest defence stats in Generation 8, and a base HP stat of 110, the lattice-topped dragon can withstand a serious cooking.
Appletun has a wide variety of abilities and hidden abilities designed for a Pokémon holding a berry. These abilities can be combined with specific berries to maximise its potential.
Once Appletun eats any item it’s holding, a stack of effects are set in motion from healing to max HP to raising the special attack and defence stats, making Appletun frustratingly impossible to take down.
