How To Confirm The Increase In Friendship
Bring It With You On Adventures
▲ You can change your Pokemon on-hand at the Jubilife Village
The more you go on adventures with certain Pokemon, the more you will become familiar with them. In previous Pokemon games, friendship was raised by the conditions such as the number of steps, level up, and battle with some trainers, but in this game, just remember that to increase Pokemon friendship, make sure the Pokemon is on-hand.
Release It From Its Ball To Collect Items
If you throw a Pokemon ball at a tree or an ore to release your Pokemon to collect or mine items, the friendship level with that Pokemon will increase more efficiently than a Pokemon that you just keep on hand.
Don't Let It Faint
A Pokemon that faints will have a decrease in friendship level, so prevent it from fainting to substantially increase its friendship level. With that said, be careful not to let your Pokemon faint if you want to increase their attachment.
Be Careful Not To Use Remedy For Recovery
