In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, we can evolve most of the Pokemon when they reach a certain level, but some Pokemon do not evolve like this. To evolve them, we need to do something different. We need to increase the friendship level with them. There is a stat known as the Friendship/Happiness stat in the game. We need to increase this stat. Our Pokemon Legends: Z-A Friendship Guide details everything that you need to know about increasing friendship with your Pokemon quickly in the game.
Friendship Guide – Pokemon Legends: Z-A
You can increase the friendship level of Pokemon when you use them in battles or let them outside their Pokeball. However, these are the slow ways of increasing the friendship level. There are some ways in which you can quickly raise your Friendship, but it requires some Poke dollars.
The quickest method to increase a Pokemon’s Friendship/Happiness is by spending time with it at a cafe or food truck in Lumiose City. Here’s how to do it step by step:
- Put the Pokemon you want to evolve/increase friendship with in the first slot of your party.
- Visit a cafe or food truck and order a cup of tea or coffee.
- Every drink at the cafe helps increase Friendship, but some drinks raise it faster than others. Like “Roserade Tea”, which costs you 350 Pokedollars per cup, but it gives a strong Friendship boost.
- Leave the table right away by pressing B and selecting “Yes.”
- Repeat this process about three to four times, or until your Pokemon is ready to evolve.
