While catching Applin, you can talk to the man found in the west side of Hammerlocke. You will need to give an Applin in the meantime, but it will be returned after. You will then obtain a Tart Apple.

If you have Pokemon Shield, you will receive a Sweet Apple instead.

Obtain in the Wild Area

Sweet Apple in Wild Area
In Axew's Eye and Dappled Grove you can pick up Tart Apple from the base of trees. The number of items you can get from these trees resets each day, so it is good to check daily.

Take note that you can also pick up Fancy Apple in these areas that can be used for cooking.

You also need to have the second Rotom Bike and the sixth badge before you can access Axew's Eye.
