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.

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 TitanTo unlock Swim, defeat the Open Sky TitanTo unlock High Jump, defeat the Lurking Steel TitanTo unlock Fly / Glide, defeat the Quaking Earth TitanTo unlock Climb, defeat the False Dragon Titan
