Turning Up the Friendship Dial in Pok�mon Scarlet: From Buddies to Besties
Ah, Pok�mon Scarlet! Catching amazing creatures, battling your way to the top, and... making sure your Pok�mon BFFs aren't secretly plotting your demise. Yes, friendship is key in this game, ????? (Trainer) – don't want your adorable Sprigatito turning into a hangry monster because you forgot to pack their favorite berries!
So, how do you become the ultimate Pok�mon whisperer? Fear not, fellow trainer, for I, your friendly neighborhood guide (with questionable fashion sense), am here to show you the ropes!
How To Get Your Friendship Up In Pokemon Scarlet |
Walking the Walk (and the Ride)
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.![]()
Forget fancy foot massages, the best way to a Pok�mon's heart is to, well, walk with them. Let your Pok�mon out of their Pok� Ball and strut your stuff together in Let's Go mode. Not only will they soak up the scenery (and judge all those weak trainers you breeze past), but their friendship level will rise faster than your teammate's excitement over the tenth sandwich you've made that day.
Pro tip: Channel your inner rockstar and air guitar with your Pok�mon by your side. They'll appreciate the confidence boost, even if your moves are more "air flail" than "air shred."
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.![]()
The Picnic Power-Up
Forget boring picnics with checkered blankets and ants in your food. Pok�mon Scarlet picnics are all about bonding with your team. Play some fetch with Oran Berries (because apparently, that's a thing?), wash them up with some fancy doggie shampoo (it's for Pok�mon, I swear!), or just have a heart-to-heart about their existential dread of being stuck in a tiny ball most of the time.
Bonus points: If you manage to make a five-heart masterpiece sandwich, your Pok�mon will be too busy stuffing their faces to care if you haven't bathed in, ahem, a while.
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.![]()
Battling Buddies
Who needs therapy when you have epic battles? Team up with your Pok�mon and take down those pesky trainers (or steal their lunch money, no judgement). Every shared victory strengthens your bond, proving you're the ultimate dream team. Just avoid fainting your Pok�mon too much – trust me, they don't appreciate being revived with dubious methods.
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.![]()
Itemical Attractions
Feeling a little lazy? Don't worry, there are shortcuts (although they might involve a bit of shopping). Slap a Soothe Bell on your Pok�mon's head – it's like a friendship Fitbit that gives them a constant mood boost. You can also catch 'em all with a Friend Ball, which gives their friendship a nice starting jump.
Remember: Don't be a jerk! Harsh words and bitter herbs will only sour your relationship faster than a Spheal left out in the desert.
With a little effort (and maybe some questionable hygiene), you'll be BFFs with your Pok�mon in no time! Now get out there and explore Scarlet with your best team by your side (and maybe a change of clothes)!
