How does friendship improve in Pokemon Diamond?

Answer 1

Here's what you do: You always walk around with the pokemon, put them in easy battles, always use them in battle, and never let them faint. With Pokemon friendship in all Pokemon games, you must treat the Pokemon well for it to improve. In Pokemon Diamond and Pearl: Put the Pokemon in the front of your party Give it heal items when it is unwell and other items such as Carbos and Iron Use berries that promote friendship, such as Pomeg, Kelpsy, Qualot, Hondew, Greppa or Tamato Berries Take the Pokemon for massages in Veilstone or in the Resort Area's Ribbon Syndicate Level up the Pokemon and involve it in lots of battles Don't let the Pokemon faint or lose Let it hold an item - any item, but to promote friendship use a Soothe Bell These methods are sure to increase your Pokemon's friendship with you. Use the Poke App 'Friendship Checker' to check how the Pokemon feels towards you.
