Sweet Discoveries Brings Boosted Shinies to Pokémon GO

Applin, which can evolve into either Flapple or Appletun, will arrive in Pokémon GO soon, bringing with it a brand new item: Apples.

The newly announced Sweet Discoveries event brings a new species as well as a new item appearing on the map to Pokémon GO.
