Dragon-type Pokémon were not something just anyone could afford to raise. For ordinary people like them, Dragon-types, Psychic-types, and Ghost-types were simply out of reach.
Many ordinary Pokémon Trainers might never truly see a Dragon-type Pokémon in their entire lives, let alone catch one.
"Yes, Applin is a Grass- and Dragon-type. Depending on how sweet or sour the apple is, it evolves into either Flapple or Appletun."
"Flapple has decent Attack and Special Attack, but low HP and defenses. Appletun has high HP and Special Attack, but its Speed is terrible. It's the sort that sleeps all year round!"
Xiao Ran explained as he played with Applin.
Applin's Pokédex number was far down the list, and it had only appeared in Generation VIII, so plenty of people in the Real World had never seen one.

Honestly, neither Flapple nor Appletun was particularly strong. Among Dragon-type Pokémon, they were on the weaker side.
Flapple was a little better, with at least a base Speed stat of 70. Appletun's was only 30. What could it do? It was a sitting duck.

Flapple's base Speed stat was only 70, which could only be considered normal movement speed. Even Gardevoir, a Pokémon that didn't use its
