Bidoof is the most common Water-type Pokemon introduced in the original Diamond and Pearl. You can easily encounter Bidoof from Route 201 to Lake Verity and Great Marsh. Meanwhile, in the Pokemon Hideaway area, you can find it at Fountainspring Cave, Riverbank Cave, Grassland Cave, Spacious Cave, Still-water Cavern, and Sunlit Cavern. Here’s how you can evolve Bidoof into Bibarel in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl: Bidoof Evolution
To evolve Bidoof into Bibarel in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, all you need to do is to level it up to level 15. You can also catch Bibarel all over Route 208, 209, 210, Lake Valor, Lake Acuity, Great Marsh, and Sendoff Spring. While not competitively relevant, Bibarel is well-known in the Pokemon community as the “HM Slave” — as in, people only kept this Pokemon around when they need to explore Sinnoh, since aside from Fly and Flash, it can learn all available road-clearing HMs. Read on below for more details about Bibarel.
