Top players who use this deck
Hydrapple ex is a dedicated counter to Dragapult rather than a tournament-topper. Its Grass and Meganium shell has reached the money at events such as the Los Angeles Regional, and a related Grass deck took Top 4 at Australia's Melbourne Regional.
Applin lives inside an apple and hides away from birds that want a bite.
These are cheap common cards, so it helps to buy the whole evolution line together.
