Pokémon BDSP: How to check your current friendship

how to check your friendship featured

Being able to check your friendship in the Pokémon games has always been a great feature. Friendship is a core mechanic, and you need to level it to be able to evolve certain Pokémon like Golbat into Crobat.

And in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, they brought back one of the best features from previous generations: the Pokétch, a digital watch that works like a cellphone, in which you can use many apps to make your life easier.

How to check your friendship in BDSP

The Friendship Checker is one of the Pokétch apps, completely dedicated to displaying your current friendship level with your Pokémons. But different from other default apps like the Party List of the Pedometer, you must get it somewhere else first.

Luckily, the app is available at the early portion of the game. After traveling through the Eterna Forest, you’ll arrive at Eterna City, where you’ll have your second gym battle. But first, you need to recover your Pokémon after that long trip.

Inside the Pokémon Center, you’ll find the Aroma Lady near the corner. By talking with her, she’ll update your Pokétch for free, allowing you to check the current friendship levels of your Pokémons.

You can easily do this by simply accessing the Pokétch anywhere. The exact amount of friendship is not shown, but you can speculate your level by looking at the hearts on the Friendship Checker app.

Zero hearts indicates very low friendship, almost close to zero. One heart indicates a regular friendship, just like when you first captured the Pokémon. Two hearts indicate a high friendship, usually the required amount to evolve.

If you need to increase your friendship, you can try to give your Pokémon items such as berries, walking through the map alongside it, or simply leveling it through battle. Yeah, it’s really that simple.
