1. Go to the Pokémon menu and select your Pokémon.
2. Choose the “Move” option.
3. Scroll through the moves until you find “Surf” and select it.
4. Confirm the move, and your Pokémon will now know Surf!

Now that your Pokémon knows Surf, you can use it to glide over water. Here’s how to use it:
1. Find a body of water in the game. This could be a river, a lake, or the ocean.
