Friendship Items

Friendship items let you call Support Pokémon into your Magikarp’s pond. Each one gives a bonus, HP, coins or an item, then has to recharge. Some are earned by beating leagues, others are bought with diamonds. Here is the complete list.

How they work

• Once you have the item, tap it to call the Pokémon, which gives its bonus.
• You then have to wait for the cooldown to end before calling it again.
• Most can be ranked up with Poké Candy, which boosts their effect.
• In a league, every Support Pokémon that is not Water type can step in to give a 5% or 25% HP bonus.

• Poké Candy is rare: save it for the items you use the most.
