  2. Press and hold A-button over the Pokemon that you wish to check your friendship level of.
  3. You can see hearts coming out of the Pokemon. The more the hearts, the closer and more friendly your pokemon is towards you. And if there are no or fewer hearts that means it is not so friendly. Below is the meaning of each heart count.
    • When you get two hearts, your friendship with them is high.
    • If you get one heart, your friendship is normal with them.
    • And lastly, if you get no hearts that means your friendship with them is low.

How to Increase and Raise your Friendship Level with your Pokemon

  • Take your Pokemon on walks with you.
