Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the highly anticipated expansions for the beloved franchise, have taken the gaming world by storm.

 After the disappointment of the Isle of Armor DLC for Gen 8 games, players were hungry for a fresh and engaging experience, and these new additions did not disappoint. Alongside a captivating storyline, the DLCs introduced a whole host of new critters to capture, including the intriguing Dipplin.

Dipplin, the cross-gen evolution of Applin, quickly captured the imagination of trainers across the globe. What sets Dipplin apart is its unique “shiny” signature move, which has become the topic of much discussion within the Pokemon community. Moreover, rumors have been circulating that Dipplin’s evolution, set to take place in the forthcoming Indigo Disk DLC, may give the creature a striking transformation featuring not one, but seven heads.

The connection between Dipplin’s potential evolution and mythology adds a fascinating touch to the game. As a Dragon-type Pokemon, the seven-headed evolution would embody the essence of ancient legends, capturing the awe and wonder that has always been synonymous with the Pokemon franchise.

Confirmation of Dipplin’s evolution can be found within the Teal Mask DLC itself. Dipplin’s ability to hold and benefit from the Eviolite, an item that aids Pokemon in their unevolved forms, suggests a predetermined path of growth. Initially, this was believed to be a glitch, but the absence of any bug fixes addressing this anomaly strongly indicates that it was indeed intentional.

Notably, renowned Pokemon leaker Riddler Khu has been dropping hints regarding the upcoming evolution of Dipplin. Recent rumors have only fueled the speculation, with whispers of a seven-headed transformation sending waves of excitement through the community.

Exploring the origins of this intriguing theory, we find ourselves delving into Riddler Khu’s enigmatic riddles. Beginning with a one-headed creature, Khu’s puzzle series gradually escalated to the mind-bending, culminating in QR codes for Pokemon such as Barbanacle, a creature composed of seven Binacle heads combined. This final installment left fans speculating that a new Pokemon with seven heads was on the horizon, an assumption later consolidated by Dipplin’s connection to the Indigo Disk DLC.

While some initially theorized that this puzzle series could involve the iconic Original Dragon from Pokemon Black and White, it has since been debunked. However, with the mythical Hydreigon being a widely favored candidate, it is highly likely that Dipplin will be the focal point of this evolution, especially given its unique ties to the Indigo Disk.

With Dipplin already boasting two heads, the notion of its transformation encompassing a total of seven heads seems not only plausible but also thematically fitting. Mythological creatures such as hydras, often associated with multiple heads, lend credence to this concept. Though hydras are commonly attributed with nine heads, the number is not set in stone, leaving room for Dipplin’s evolution to break new ground. While it is unlikely that this evolution will introduce a new Mythical Pokemon within the Indigo Disk DLC itself, its connection to mythology and its status as a Dragon-type Pokemon adds an intriguing layer to the overall experience.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have brought a new wave of excitement to Nintendo Switch players. As trainers eagerly await the arrival of the Indigo Disk DLC, the possibilities for Dipplin’s evolution are endless. Will we witness the birth of a magnificent seven-headed hydra, or is there an even greater surprise in store? Only time will tell as we embark on this thrilling Pokemon journey.
