To get all of Applin's evolutions you need 600 candies and 60 unique items plus a mossy lure!
And I thought Cubfu's evolution requirements were annoying but this seems extreme to me. I'm not saying it should be a 50 candy cost like other single stage evolutions but any one of these requirements could have been cut down.
200 candies and 1 specific apple. Or 100 candies and 5 specific apples. Or anything that isn't the huge demand we have now.
It feels more like artificial padding to keep players farming pokemon catches and items than a reasonable evolution requirement compared to the already established requirements.
