Using it allows you to swim up waterfalls, letting you approach new places. However, getting it takes a lot of work, and in this Where to Get Waterfall in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl guide, we will show you where and how to acquire it in Pokemon BDSP.

To be able to get the Waterfall Hidden Move, you will first need to defeat Volkner, the Sunnyshore City Gym Leader. He is the eighth and final Gym Leader you will face in the game, so be prepared for a very tough battle. Also, getting to him requires that you solve a small puzzle, and you can see how to reach him in our video down below. Once you have defeated him, he will give you the Waterfall Hidden Move, the Beacon Badge, and some other things as your reward. This Hidden Move works a bit differently in Pokemon BDSP remake than it did in the original DS games. There, you had to teach this move to specific Pokemon so they could use it. And here, the HM is automatically registered to your Poketech App, and you can use it when you encounter a waterfall you want to climb.
