CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Hydrapple houses seven snakelike creatures in a syrup-covered apple. The central one directs the others, but this group does not always act with a single will. Its members have changing moods, and their true power appears only when they agree, which rarely happens. The Pokédex therefore describes difficult cooperation rather than a solitary individual. The apple brings them together physically; their strength depends on the agreement they manage to reach.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Scarlet counts seven small serpents inside Hydrapple and places their leader at the center. Pokémon Violet explains why this organization is not always enough: their fickle personalities align only occasionally, the sole moment when their full power appears.
