11Overview22Gyarados is a Water/Flying-type Pokemon found in a hidden area beneath Sparkling Skylands. It teaches the Waterfall transformation, an upgrade to Surf that lets Ditto travel up vertical water streams. Gyarados is encountered behind the waterfalls near the Pokemon Center island and must be woken up with a Bread Bowl before it will teach the move.44How to Find Gyarados66Location88Gyarados is hidden below the first island in Sparkling Skylands, behind the waterfalls near the Pokemon Center. After learning Glide from Dragonite, return to the Pokemon Center island and drop down where the waterfalls flow. Enter the water and swim behind the falls to find Gyarados lounging in a pool.1010Waking Gyarados1313Gyarados is drowsy and needs a hot meal to remember the Waterfall move. When you first speak to it, it says "So sleepy..." and asks for food. The specific item needed is a Bread Bowl.1515To craft a Bread Bowl, you need:1717IngredientHow to ObtainWheat x1Grow from Wheat Seeds (farming) or find in Poke Ball pickupsSimple Soup x1Cook at a Cooking Pot (Potato x1 + Water x1)Any ingredient x1Any food item works as the third slotBurn-specialty PokemonRequired to light the Bread Oven (Charmander, Growlithe, Flareon, etc.)18+IngredientHow to ObtainWheat x1Grow from Wheat Seeds (farming) or find in Poke Ball pickupsSimple Soup x1Cook at a Cooking Pot (Fresh Water x1 + Any x2)Any ingredient x1Any food item works as the third slotBurn-specialty PokemonRequired to light the Bread Oven (Charmander, Growlithe, Flareon, etc.)1919After eating the Bread Bowl, Gyarados wakes up fully and teaches Waterfall. Prepare the Bread Bowl before traveling to Sparkling Skylands since you need a Burn-specialty Pokemon and pre-made Soup, which are easier to prepare in earlier regions.2020Waterfall Transformation2222Waterfall is the 13th Ditto Transformation and functions as an upgrade to Surf rather than a standalone ability. It allows Ditto to travel upward along waterfalls while in Surf mode.2424DetailInfoControlsWhile Surfing (B in water), press A at the base of a waterfallEffectDitto travels upward along the waterfallRequirementMust already have Surf (learned from Lapras at Bleak Beach)Works onNatural waterfalls and player-created waterfalls2626Waterfall enables vertical navigation in Sparkling Skylands and provides an alternative to Glide for reaching elevated areas. Player-created waterfalls (built using the Suck ability) also support the Waterfall ability, meaning players can build custom elevator-like water routes between different elevation levels on their islands.2727Building the Illuminated Waterfall Habitat2929After befriending Gyarados, build the Illuminated Waterfall habitat so it can live on your island:3131MaterialQuantityWhere to FindLit Torch2Craft at workbench; requires a Burn-specialty Pokemon to lightWaterfall1Create using the Suck ability on elevated terrainWater3Any water sourceStepping Stones3Found near Gyarados's initial location behind the waterfalls3333Most materials for this habitat can be found right where Gyarados is encountered, behind the waterfalls.
