11Overview2233Every Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia has a Friendship level that represents the personal bond between that Pokemon and the player. Friendship is separate from the Comfort system, which measures how satisfied a Pokemon is with its living conditions. A Pokemon can have high Comfort but low Friendship (or the reverse). However, the two systems are related: high Friendship contributes to Comfort growth, and a comfortable Pokemon is more receptive to friendship-building activities.4455Friendship vs. Comfort6677AspectFriendshipComfort (Comfy Level)What it measuresYour personal bond with the PokemonHow satisfied the Pokemon is with its habitat and surroundingsHow to raiseComplete requests, give gifts, play games, talkPlace preferred furniture, build houses, make roadsEffectBest Friend title, name recognition, material gifts, Pokedex markRaises Environment Level, unlocks PC Shop stockPer-Pokemon?Yes, individual per PokemonYes, individual per PokemonTiersGradual gauge (no named tiers)5 tiers: Iffy, Average, Nice, Great, Awesome8+89How to Raise Friendship9101011There are several ways to increase your Friendship level with a Pokemon:11121213ActivityDetailsRequestsCompleting a Pokemon's personal requests is the most effective way to boost Friendship.
