How to use Appletun in the current VGC format

Appletun is listed as a Grass/Dragon type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Appletun fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Thick Fat, Sitrus Berry and Hardy 32/0/2/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Apple Acid, Leaf Storm, Draco Meteor, and Protect. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Appletun has important weaknesses to ice 4x, bug 2x, dragon 2x, fairy 2x, flying 2x, poison 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as banette-mega, oranguru, araquanid, emboar-mega, and hatterene appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
