All the information on the friendship system in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. It lets certain Pokémon evolve.
Checking friendship levels
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, some of your Pokémon can only evolve once their friendship level has reached its maximum.
As in previous games, friendship is measured on a scale from 0 to 255. For Pokémon caught in the wild, friendship is automatically set to 70.
So how can you tell how much your Pokémon likes you? In Pokémon Legends: Arceus it is simple, and we will tell you everything!
Near the Pasture in Jubilife Village, talk to the NPC named Amo, who will assess your Pokémon’s friendship level. Depending on what he tells you, this is the level your Pokémon has:
- Your Pokémon is gradually getting attached to you! — 50 to 99
- It seems to like you, but you could get along even better! — 100 to 149
- Your Pokémon feels great affection for you! You are truly devoted to each other! — 150 to 199
- Your Pokémon seems to get along very well with you! You are practically inseparable! — 200 to 254
- Wow! You and your Pokémon are the best of friends! You found each other so perfectly! — 255
Once it reaches 255, if it needs friendship to evolve, your Pokémon will be ready and you can then evolve it!
