Appletun is a niche option in the 1v1 metagame that distinguishes itself from other Dragon-types with access to Apple Acid, Sucker Punch, and Recover. Apple Acid will always lower the foe's Special Defense by one stage, allowing Appletun to break past walls like Rotom-W and non-Toxic Ferrothorn while staying healthy with Recover. The defensive EVs and item allow Appletun to survive attacks from Choice Band non-Unnerve Haxorus and Choice Specs Hydreigon so it can OHKO back with Draco Meteor. Sucker Punch allows Appletun to beat weakened threats like Crustle and Haban Berry Dragapult, which would otherwise finish it off after surviving its Draco Meteor.
Appletun mainly struggles against offensive threats that have super effective STAB attacks like Galarian Darmanitan, Sylveon, and Togekiss. Good teammates that can beat those threats for it are Steelix and Arcanine, while Appletun in return beats Water-types like Gastrodon and Rotom-W. Appletun also has trouble against specific defensive checks that do not mind Apple Acid, such as Corviknight, Snarl Mandibuzz, and Amnesia Galarian Corsola. Teammates like Dracozolt and Choice Specs Rotom-H with Trick can deal with those, and in return, Appletun handles Dragon-types like Choice Scarf Dracovish, opposing Dracozolt, Dragapult, and Hydreigon.
