How to evolve Dipplin into Hydrapple in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Hydrapple is Dipplin’s new evolution introduced in The Indigo Disk DLC, and we’ll tell you about how to evolve it in this post.

There have been hints about this since The Teal Mask. In the game’s code, Dipplin was capable of utilizing the Eviolite item – which is only possible if the Pokemon can evolve again. Indeed, Dipplin has received a brand-new evolution in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC. Before Dipplin can evolve, however, you need Applin to evolve. We wrote a guide on how to evolve Applin into Dipplin a while back, and you can check that out right here before we continue with our Dipplin evolution guide.
