How to Get Tentacool Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

To get Tentacool in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl or BDSP, the first step you need to do is get the Surf hidden move. We cover that in our How to Get Surf guide; that’s not what we’re here for. After you get the Surf move, you can then go to several different locations: the river on Route 205, the lake on Route 218, or the canal in Canalave City. We opted for the latter of these three options – just surfed around the canal until a Tentacool popped up. If you need further assistance with this, feel free to check out our video below.
