Shiny Applin! + How to Hunt it in Kitakami! - Pokemon Violet DLC

Applin and Dipplin really grew on me during my Teal Mask playthrough and I think this is one of the more unique hunts you can do in ScVi. When I first went to the Apple Hills I knew I'd have to find a shiny tree Applin.
Also this came after 7,602 encounters, which isn't a lot by ScVi standards because everything is so fast in this game, but at only about 300~ encounters per sandwich I put a ton of time into this hunt over the past few days.
Here's the sando video:

And here's my twitter if you want to see very infrequent shiny posts:
