Friendship has been a core game mechanic in Pokemon games for generations, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus is no exception. It can be fun and rewarding to watch your bond with your virtual critters grow as you progress through the game. Sometimes, however, you’re just trying to complete the Pokedex and need to gain friendship fast to evolve something new. The best way to do this has varied a lot over the years, so here’s what we know about the fastest ways to level up friendship in Pokemon Legends: Arceus!
How to Gain Friendship
Like most traditional Pokemon games, an easy way to gain friendship is simply to place a given Pokemon in your party and travel around with it while using it in battles. Be careful, however—you’ll lose friendship if you let it faint, so be sure to keep it healthy if you use this method.
A new mechanic for gaining friendship is using the Pokemon in question to harvest materials from various resource nodes placed around the game’s maps. Simply select the Pokemon in question, hold the ZR button, release it while aiming at a mineral deposit or other node, and the Pokemon will pop out of its Pokeball to gather resources, gaining friendship with you in the process!
Having more methods to gain friendship is quite useful since you’re unable to use the soothe bell to speed things up this time around due to Legends: Arceus not allowing Pokemon to use held items.
So How Do I Gain Friendship Most Efficiently?
Ideally, you’ll want to use several different means to gain friendship as efficiently as possible:
- Make sure that the Pokemon you’re trying to gain friendship with is in your party.
- Travel around one of the game’s zones and fight other Pokemon, ensuring that the one you’re trying to gain friendship with doesn’t faint.
- Use the desired Pokemon to gather resources like Tumblestone.
That’s all there is to it!
