Friendship (Japanese: なつき度 degree of emotional attachment), also referred to every bit loyalty in Generation Two cadre series games, tame in Pokémon Stadium ii, and friendliness in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, and unremarkably referred to by fans every bit happiness, is a measurement of how much a Pokémon is attached to its Trainer and enjoys being in their care.

Information technology affects the evolution of certain Pokémon, the power of Return and Frustration, and the availability of a few in-game items and Ribbons. Certain events increase a Pokémon'southward friendship (gaining a level, walking a certain amount of steps) or decrease it (fainting, using herbal medicine).

Friendship was introduced in Pokémon Xanthous for the player's starter Pikachu simply and expanded to cover all Pokémon in Generation II.

In Generation VI, Affection, a separate mechanic, was introduced. Still, from Pokémon: Permit'south Get, Pikachu! and Allow's Go, Eevee! onward, Affection no longer exists and friendship has all of its furnishings instead.

In the core and side series games

Friendship debuted in Generation I as a mechanic that practical only to the actor's Pikachu in Pokémon Yellow. In Generation Ii, it was expanded to encompass all Pokémon. In all games, friendship is a value that ranges from 0 to 255 (stored as a single byte). In Pokémon Yellowish, Pikachu'southward friendship is indicated by the expression information technology shows when the histrion talks to it, simply in afterward games, certain NPCs in the games will evaluate the friendship of a Pokémon in the role player'south party.

A Pokémon's friendship is by and large set when the thespian first obtains it. When a Pokémon is first caught from the wild, its friendship starts at its base friendship value. Trading a Pokémon also resets its friendship to its base value, unless it is existence traded back to its original Trainer in Generation Six or afterward, in which instance information technology regains the friendship information technology had before being traded abroad. A Pokémon caught in a Friend Ball starts with 200 friendship instead of its base friendship, while a Pokémon hatched from an Egg starts with 120 friendship.

Friendship is generally increased by taking practiced care of a Pokémon. Keeping a Pokémon in the player's party, raising information technology, using items on it, and getting it groomed will all increment a Pokémon's friendship. Letting it faint and using bitter herbal medicines on it will decrease a Pokémon'due south friendship.

Boosting friendship

This section is incomplete. Please feel complimentary to edit this department to add together missing information and complete it. Reason: Bank check whether friendship is boosted at the met location in Colosseum

In Pokémon Crystal, if a Pokémon is leveled upwardly at its met location, it volition gain twice as much friendship from that level up as usual. Since just Pokémon defenseless in Pokémon Crystal have a defined met location, Pokémon caught in the Generation I games, Pokémon Gold and Silver, and Pokémon from in-game trades volition not receive this bonus. If a Pokémon that has a divers met location is traded to a Generation I game, this information is permanently erased, so it can no longer receive this bonus.

From Generation 3 onward, if a Pokémon was defenseless in a Luxury Ball, any increase to its friendship is additional by one. In Generation Three (except Pokémon XD) and from Generation 5 onward, if a Pokémon is currently at the same location where it was caught (its met location), any increment to its friendship is boosted by 1. If a Pokémon is holding a Soothe Bell, increases to its friendship are boosted by 50% of the alter—in Generation III, the increase is applied to the original change in friendship; in subsequent generations, information technology applies to the friendship change subsequently including Luxury Brawl and met location bonuses.

In Generation V, the Befriending Power Pass Power boosts any increase to friendship by 1 to iii points depending on the forcefulness of the power used. In Generation Half dozen, the Befriending Ability O-Power has the same result. Befriending Ability does non exist in Generation Vii.

None of these effects change the amount of friendship lost for negative changes or for changes of 0 (such as using an X Set on on a Pokémon with loftier friendship).

Mechanics using friendship

In Pokémon Xanthous, friendship afflicted very niggling beyond the reactions Pikachu would show when interacted with. A notable exception is the woman in Cerulean Urban center who will merely give the player a Bulbasaur if Pikachu has high friendship.

Starting in Generation II, there are Pokémon that evolve by friendship, which can just evolve if they have 220 friendship or more. Additionally, the moves Return and Frustration vary in ability depending on how high or low the user's friendship is.

From Generation Iv onward, there is a Ribbon for Pokémon with maximum friendship, the Footprint Ribbon.

Some NPCs also only requite gifts or teach moves when the player'southward Pokémon has a certain amount of friendship. Specifically, a Pokémon must have maximized friendship to learn Draco Meteor, Frenzy Plant, Nail Burn, Hydro Cannon, Grass Pledge, Burn Pledge, or Water Pledge in any generation.

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Nameless Cavern becomes unlocked once the player has three Pokémon with maximum friendship on their team.

In-battle bonuses

Pokémon Sword and Shield

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, due to amore being merged with friendship, friendship has several in-battle furnishings. These effects exercise non occur in link battles, Battle Tower and Restricted Sparring.

Friendship	Campsite hearts	Effect
0-179	0-two	None

Points Moderate adventure of recovering from status conditions on its own Very small take a chance of avoiding an opponent's movement Increased critical hit ratio

In addition, Pokémon with at least 1 heart may discover items later on cooking together at Pokémon Camp.

Generation I

In Pokémon Yellowish, in that location is a friendship system exclusively for the player's starter Pikachu. Whatever Pikachu that the histrion is the Original Trainer of (according to their Original Trainer proper noun and Trainer ID number) is treated every bit the player's starter Pikachu. Raichu and Outsider Pikachu are not affected, even if the Raichu was the actor's starter Pokémon but evolved (which can just be washed past first trading it to another game).

The starter Pikachu follows the player in the overworld, if it is in the party and not fainted (if the player has multiple, Pikachu volition follow if the outset starter Pikachu in the political party is not fainted). If the actor interacts with Pikachu, a window volition pop up showing Pikachu'due south confront, and the expression is affected by Pikachu's current friendship (though certain special events may elicit special reactions unrelated to Pikachu's electric current friendship). At maximum friendship, Pikachu jumps up and down before the window appears.

In Cerulean Metropolis, Melanie gives the thespian a Bulbasaur if the starter Pikachu'south friendship is 147 or higher. The player does not need to have Pikachu in the political party or even in the game itself to receive this Bulbasaur. This is the but sign of friendship outside of interacting with Pikachu.

Pikachu starts with a base friendship of 90. Various actions tin increase or decrease Pikachu'south friendship level.

Result		Change based on current friendship
		0 to 99	100 to 199	200 to 255
Starter Pikachu levels up while in the political party		+5	+3	+2
Use medicine on starter Pikachu (fifty-fifty if unsuccessful), other than PP Up, Full Heal, Revive, Max Revive, Ether, Max Ether, Elixer, Max Elixer

	If opponent is at least 30 levels higher, or exterior of battle	-5		-10
Eolith starter Pikachu in the Pokémon Storage System from the party		-3		-five
Trade Pikachu away		-x		-twenty

At that place is a single friendship value per game, and it remains even if the starter Pikachu is traded away. Trading away Pikachu will decrease its friendship, merely this decreased value volition exist remembered when it returns. If the player has multiple Pikachu which authorize as their starter Pikachu in a single game, all of these Pikachu share the same friendship value, so whatever friendship-modifying event applies to all of them.

Vitamins, boxing items and HP-restoring items increase Pikachu'southward friendship even if they take no upshot. For instance, attempting to employ a Potion on a Pikachu that is fainted or has full health, an Antidote when Pikachu is not poisoned, Calcium when Pikachu has already reached its maximum Special stat experience, or 10 Special when the Special stat has already been raised 6 stages in battle. This does not eat the item, and so the aforementioned item can repeatedly increase Pikachu's friendship. Waking Pikachu up with the Poké Flute (either in or out of battle) does not change its friendship.

In the anime

In the anime, the bond between Trainers and their Pokémon has been a theme since the start episode, in which Ash had trouble to form a friendship with his newly obtained Pikachu. After risking his prophylactic to protect his starter Pokémon from a flock of angry Spearow, Ash earned Pikachu's trust, and the two have been inseparable ever since.

Pokémon that accept friendly relationships with their Trainers are said to perform improve in battles. Ash believes that befriending a Pokémon volition go far grow stronger, and he treats all his Pokémon with utmost care and respect. However, throughout the serial, some Trainers have been shown to focus on raw strength lone, disregarding their Pokémon's feelings and well beingness. Examples include Paul and Cross.

Aside from regular battles, friendship is valued in Pokémon Contests, since the level of cooperation betwixt Coordinator and Pokémon is observed past the console of judges during the Performance Stage. Additionally, in the Battle Stage, Coordinators are expected to be in synchronicity with their Pokémon the entire time. In Cruisin' for a Losin', the Director of the Contest Committee, Mr. Contesta, stated that a Pokémon's well being must be the number one priority of a Coordinator.

In Our Cup Runneth Over!, Contest Master Wallace stressed the importance of kinship. He also said that playing with Pokémon tin can help Trainers and Coordinators in learning how to bring out the potential of their Pokémon. In add-on to enhancing a Pokémon's appearance, Pokémon training is said to make them happier. Trainers who devote themselves to the evolution of techniques that amend a Pokémon's health and happiness are known every bit Pokémon Breeders. Some people study to get Pokémon Connoisseurs to be able to identify the compatibility between Trainers and Pokémon and then offer advice on how to strengthen their friendship.

Simply like in the games, friendship affects the ability of Frustration. This was shown in Going for Asphyxiate!, in which Harley's Banette received a boost while using the move nether the command of Jessie, a Trainer it does not similar. Although the concept of Evolution by friendship has non been addressed directly, the Soothe Bong has appeared in the anime. In Pokémon the Series: XY, the friendship betwixt Ash and his Greninja triggered a temporary transformation known equally Bond Phenomenon.

In dissimilarity with the games, where a Pokémon of a certain level volition but obey its Trainer if the Trainer possesses specific achievements, disobedient Pokémon in the anime volition gain respect for their Trainers after realizing how far the Trainer is willing to go to befriend, protect, and care for the Pokémon.
