- Requires learning Surf and reaching Environment Level 5 first
- Manaphy teaches Dive after being given five seaweed bundles

## Summary

Polygon has published a guide explaining how to unlock the Dive move in Pokémon Pokopia following the game's free 2.0 update, which is available to all players regardless of whether they own the Bubbly Basin DLC. Dive allows players to explore and build underwater, but it can only be learned after completing a specific chain of quests culminating in an encounter with Manaphy, a creature also introduced in the update.

To reach Manaphy, players must first learn Surf from Lapras and raise Bleak Beach's Environment Level to 5 by building suitable habitats for the area's Pokémon. Doing so prompts Professor Tangrowth to reveal a previously hidden island near the Sparkling Skylands gate, where a hungry Manaphy teaches Dive in exchange for five bundles of seaweed. Getting Lapras to appear beforehand requires constructing a habitat using a large palm tree and four hedges next to ocean tiles, then cleaning 80 muddy spots around Bleak Beach.
