Pok�-BFFs: How to Shower Your Pok�mon with Love (and Get Them to Evolve) in Pok�mon Legends: Arceus
Let's face it, trainer. Sometimes catching 'em all isn't enough. You gotta be best friends too! Especially in Pok�mon Legends: Arceus, where some Pok�mon evolve based on pure friendship points (which sounds a lot less intense than, say, punching a rock a thousand times).
But fear not, fellow monster collector! Here's your one-stop guide to becoming the ultimate cuddle buddy to your Pok�mon team.
Step 1: Ditch the Pok�ball, Not the Party
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.![]()
- Party Time, All the Time: Just like that awkward third wheel at a party, leaving your Pok�mon in their Pok�ball won't win you any friendship points. Keep them in your active party so they can feel included in all the Hisui adventures!
Step 2: Become a Pok�mon Whisperer (or Thrower?)
- Breaking Rocks with Best Buds: This might sound strange, but in Hisui, friendship is built on teamwork... and apparently, smashing rocks together. Have your Pok�mon use their happy little faces (or whatever appendages they have) to gather resources. Every ore vein shattered, every tree plundered is a tiny +1 to that friendship meter!
Step 3: Battles? More Like Bonding Sessions!
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.![]()
- Fight Like Friends: Who needs therapy when you have epic battles? Battling with your Pok�mon is a surefire way to raise their friendship. Just be sure to keep them healed up (using Revives is like giving a sad high five, not cool). Victories are even sweeter for friendship points, so go out there and dominate!
Step 4: Sharing is Caring (Especially EXP Candies)
- The Shortcut to Snuggle Town: Leveling up your Pok�mon also gives them a friendship boost. But who has time to grind for levels when there are Alpha Pok�mon rampaging around? Use those sweet, sweet EXP Candies to give your Pok�mon a power-up and a friendship bump all at once. Just remember, sharing is caring, trainer! Don't hog all the candy for yourself (unless it's Rare Candy, then maybe that's a different story).
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.![]()

Step 5: Become a Pok�mon Pampering Pro
- Healing Touches: Think of it like this: how happy would you be if your best friend constantly let you faint in battle? Not very, right? So keep your Pok�mon in tip-top shape with Potions and Revives. They'll appreciate the care, and their friendship meter will thank you.

Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.![]()
- Belamy the Friendship Whisperer: Wondering if all your Pok�mon-loving efforts are paying off? Head to Jubilife Village and chat with Bellamy near the sheepfolds. This helpful fellow will analyze your Pok�mon's friendship level with some wonderfully vague pronouncements. Don't worry, even if he says your Budew is feeling "neutral," just keep showering them with love (and rocks to smash) and that friendship will blossom in no time!
By following these simple steps, you'll be a Pok�mon BFF magnet in no time! Remember, friendship is a two-way street (or a dusty Hisui path), so get out there, shower your Pok�mon with love, and watch those friendship evolutions happen!
