How to Get Friendship Up in Soul Silver

Friendship, also known as happiness, is a hidden value introduced in the second generation "Gold," "Silver," and "Crystal" Pokemon games. A Pokemon with a high friendship value will deal more damage with the "Return" attack than one with a low friendship value. Certain Pokemon, such as Golbat, Pichu, and Munchlax, will only evolve when their friendship value is near the maximum. In the "HeartGold" and "SoulSilver" games for the Nintendo DS, players can increase a Pokemon's friendship value in several ways.

Instructions

- 1
  Equip your Pokemon with the Soothe Bell. This item raises the amount of happiness a Pokemon gains each time he attacks.
- 2
  Keep the Pokemon in your party and raise its level by feeding it Rare Candies or having it defeat opposing Pokemon in battle.
- 3
  Feed your Pokemon vitamins such as "HP Up," "Protein," and "Carbos." Use "Fresh Water," "Soda Pop," and "Lemonade" rather than standard potions to restore your Pokemon's health.
- 4
  Give your Pokemon a daily massage in Goldenrod City. Avoid feeding your Pokemon bitter items such as "Heal Powder" and "Energy Root," and switch out or heal your Pokemon to prevent it from fainting.
