In {{game|Crystal}}, if a Pokémon is leveled up at its met location, it will gain twice as much friendship from that level up as usual. Since only Pokémon caught in Pokémon Crystal have a defined met location, Pokémon caught in the [[Generation I]] games, {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, and Pokémon from [[in-game trade]]s will not receive this bonus. If a Pokémon that has a defined met location is traded to a Generation I game, this data is permanently erased, so it can no longer receive this bonus.

====Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!====

At maximum friendship, a Pokémon will receive a 10% boost to its stats, before [[awakening values|AVs]] are added in. The friendship multiplier scales directly with the level of friendship, starting from a 0% boost at 0 friendship to receiving the full 10% at 255.
