Navigate Mt. Coronet's Side Tunnel in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Find item locations, battle Team Galactic, and grab TM02 Dragon Claw.
Alright, so you're heading into the Mt. Coronet side tunnel in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. When you first enter, you'll need to use Rock Climb to get down into the main part of the tunnel. If you haven't been to Spear Pillar yet, you'll run into some Team Galactic grunts here. Don't worry too much about them for now; they're just blocking the exit, but you can definitely battle them for some good experience points.
Once you've dealt with Team Galactic and they've left Mt. Coronet, the tunnel exit up north will be clear. You can reach it by using Rock Climb to go further down, then heading north. Alternatively, there's a longer route where you head east first, then north. The northern exit is super useful because it leads to the southern part of the Center: 1F area, where you can snag TM02 Dragon Claw. After that, you can use Strength to head back to the main section of Center: 1F.
