Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version - Friendship
Friendship is a measure of a particular Pokémon’s attachment to the player. When a Pokémon is created or traded from another player, it starts with its base friendship (normally 70 but depends on the species). A Pokémon hatched from an Egg starts with a friendship of 120 instead. Friendship ranges from 0 through 255.
Friendship can be approximated by talking to the woman (near the Munna) in the Pokémon Fan Club in Icirrus City:
- 0: "By any chance, you... Are you a very strict person? I feel that it really doesn’t like you..."
- 1-49: "Hmmm... It may not like you very much."
- 50-99: "The relationship is neither good nor bad... It looks neutral."
- 100-149: "It is a little friendly to you... That’s what I’m getting."
- 150-199: "It is friendly to you. It must be happy with you."
- 200-254: "It is quite friendly to you! You must be a kind person!"
- 255: "It is super friendly to you! I’m a bit jealous!"
Or by talking to the woman in the house east of the Nacrene City Pokémon Center:
- 0-69: "Hmmm... It may still take some time."
- 70-119: "It’s a little bit friendly to you... Something like that."
- 120-255: "It’s very friendly toward you! It must be happy with you."
Although he may use similar words, the Fan Club Chairman actually compares the difference between the Pokémon’s current level and the level it was met at, not the friendship of the Pokémon.
Blast Burn, Draco Meteor, Fire Pledge, Frenzy Plant, Grass Pledge, Hydro Cannon, and Water Pledge can be taught by a Move Tutor only if the Pokémon has a friendship of 255.
