In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, evolution through friendship remains an important feature, even though the game puts more emphasis on battles. This game takes place entirely within a city and offers a different vibe, but it still retains many classic Pokémon elements.
One such element is the friendship statistic, which can be confusing or frustrating for new players. Here’s an easy way to boost friendship and a list of Pokémon that evolve from high friendship levels. Managing friendship might be easier than ever in this game.
Getting the Soothe Bell Will Speed Up Friendship Growth
It’s straightforward to find the Soothe Bell in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Equipping this item to one of your Pokémon makes increasing friendship levels faster. The best part is, you can get it without much hassle—it’s a guaranteed reward from a side quest.
To unlock it, head to the southwest part of Lumiose City. After defeating Canari in the main story, you’ll unlock a side mission called Some Friendly Competition. Talk to the quest-giver near Cafe Rouleau, accept the challenge, and defeat their Pokémon in a simple battle. Completing this quest rewards you with the Soothe Bell and $3,000.
All Pokémon That Evolve Through Friendship
Several Pokémon evolve via friendship levels in this game. Here’s a list:
– Cleffa (evolves into Clefairy)
– Buneary (evolves into Lopunny)
– Pichu (evolves into Pikachu)
– Budew (evolves into Roselia)
– Eevee (can evolve into Espeon during the day, Umbreon at night, or Sylveon with a fairy move)
– Riolu (evolves into Lucario)
Lucario is particularly popular since it has a Mega Evolution and is a strong addition to any team.
How to Increase Happiness Fast
To boost your Pokémon’s friendship quickly, take them to cafés around the city. The game shows cafés with a coffee cup icon on the map. Make sure your Pokémon is in the first slot of your party, then visit the cafés and order anything you like—simply having the Pokémon out inside the café raises their friendship level.
You can leave the café immediately after visiting, as the game does not require sitting through the entire interaction to count it. Keep visiting cafés with your Pokémon until they reach the level needed to evolve. This method is a quick and easy way to enhance friendship in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
