Mastering Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: Evolution Guide for Dipplin, Hydrapple, and Malamar

The Indigo Disk DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet introduces a new evolution called Hydrapple for the Pokémon Dipplin. To evolve Dipplin into Hydrapple, players need to teach it the move Dragon Cheer, which can be obtained by defeating Drayton, one of the Elite Four in the DLC. Hydrapple has higher base stats compared to Applin's other final forms, with strong special attack and defense, but is slow. It retains Dipplin's Supersweet Syrup ability and has a signature move called Fickle Beam.
