Hydrapple debuted in the Indigo Disk DLC, and to get this Pokemon in your Box, you must evolve it from a Dipplin. While Dipplin's evolution is straightforward, evolving it into Hydrapple can be tricky if you're unaware of what needs to be done.

Evolving Dipplin into Hydrapple is a lengthy process, as you must play through the story of the new DLC in Scarlet and Violet. While progressing through the main narrative, you will get a TM called Dragon Cheer.

After getting your hands on this specific TM, you must use it on your Dipplin. Dragon Cheer is a new move added to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet in this DLC. Teaching this move to Dipplin will evolve this Pocket Monster into Hydrapple.

Keep in mind that Dipplin must be fed a Rare Candy. As soon as it levels up, Dipplin will evolve into Hydrapple.
