Its cheeks store acid strong enough to induce chemical burns, which it is able to spit at its targets. It can disguise itself as an apple by folding its apple peels.
When exposed to Gigantamax energy, Flapple changes into the shape of a giant apple. The sweet nectar that covers its body increases in thickness, allowing it to absorb more damage than normal.

Trivia
- Flapple and Appletun have physically identical Gigantamax forms, but they are still treated as different Pokémon as they have distinct Pokédex entries and G-Max Moves.
- Flapple and its evolutionary family are the only Pokémon that are in the Grass and Dragon Egg Groups.
Origin
Flapple may be based on the larvae of Codling moths, which burrow into apples and feed on their cores, while also sharing visual similarities with geckos. The powerful acid it spits may be a reference to amygdalin, a chemical compound found in apple seeds, which releases cyanide into the body when digested. Its Gigantamax form appears to be based on a caramel apple, and its ability to make Pokémon faint due to its sweetness may be a reference to a diabetic coma. Considering its Dragon typing, it may be a visual pun on "wyrm", the Old English word for not only worms, but also serpentine dragons.
It may also be inspired by Ladon, a dragon from Greek mythology that guards the golden apples in the garden of Hesperides. In addition, it may draw inspiration from the biblical serpents, sometimes referred to as dragons, one of which persuaded Eve to eat from the forbidden fruit of the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil, commonly depicted as an apple.
Given its flying apple motif and signature move, Grav Apple, Flapple could also be based on the tale of Newton's Apple. Popularized by Voltaire, it claimed the English natural philosopher Sir Isaac Newton had the first thought of his system of gravity upon seeing an apple falling from a tree.
Name origin
Flapple may be a combination of flap and apple.
Appuryū may be a combination of apple and 竜 ryū (dragon).
