How to fly, swim, climb, dash and high jump in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
How to upgrade Koraidon and Miraidon's abilities.
The ability to fly, swim, climb and dash in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is locked at the start of the game.
Finding these abilities for Legendary Pokémon Koraidon and Miraidon will allow you to explore the world much easier, and encounter new discoveries.
The good news is all of them are on the critical path to the end game, assuming you're hoping to tackle all three storylines - with all these abilities unlocking as you complete Path of Legends.

How to fly, swim, climb and dash in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
To unlock new abilities for Koraidon and Miraidon, you must play the Path of Legends storyline.
This has you find and defeat five Titans in the search of Herba Mystica - which each Titan giving you a unique ability.
The abilities, and the Titans which are required to unlock them, are as follows:
- To unlock Dash, defeat the Stony Cliff Titan
- To unlock Swim, defeat the Open Sky Titan
- To unlock High Jump, defeat the Lurking Steel Titan
- To unlock Fly / Glide, defeat the Quaking Earth Titan
- To unlock Climb, defeat the False Dragon Titan
Our best Path of Legends order can recommend the best order for you to tackle these in - but essentially, the above is broadly what you should be aiming for - especially as one, False Dragon, requires you to swim first.
Of course, if you want to unlock a specific ability first - you could argue the most useful are swimming, flying / gliding and climbing - then you can skip ahead to any you choose. But know you might have to level up a little first!
