To make a Secret Base in BDSP, simply walk up to a wall where you’d like to build one and you’ll be given the option to build, as long as you have a Digger Drill in your bag, allowing you to move your base whenever you like. The Digger Drill can be obtained from the Underground Man in Eterna City after completing his third mission, which involves digging up treasure in the Grand Underground.
