Applin also has a unique version depending on the game you are playing; it will evolve into Flapple if you are playing Pokemon Sword and it will evolve into Appletun if you are playing Shield.
Where Do I Get The Apple?
In order to get the Tart/Sweet Apple, you will need to proceed to Hammerlocke city which is only accessible after you complete the third gym battle.
Once you get to this location you want to find the Pokemon centre and head left. After this keep going until you find a trainer nestled with the grass and that is who you need to talk too.
