==List of friendship evolutions==
===Mechanics===
Some {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} evolve when they are leveled up with enough [[friendship]]. As long as the Pokémon has the required amount of friendship, unless there are other requirements for its evolution, it will attempt to evolve whenever it levels up by {{pkmn|battle}} or [[Rare Candy]]. However, in the case of certain Pokémon as seen below, the friendship evolution may only be available at certain times of day, it may require [[held item|holding an item]] or knowing a certain [[move]].
 
This evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation II]]. This is the same generation where the feature of all Pokémon having a frienship value was introduced, as opposed to the early friendship mechanic from {{game|Yellow}} which only applied to {{ga|Red's Pikachu|the starter Pikachu}}.
 
[[Baby Pokémon]] often have this evolution requirement, but it is also an evolution requirement for other Pokémon, and not all baby Pokémon have this as an evolution requirement
 
====Generations II to VII====
From [[Generation II]] to {{gen|VII}}, a Pokémon requires at least 220 friendship in order to evolve.
 
In these generations, a level 100 Pokémon is unable to evolve by leveling up. Since the friendship evolution involves leveling up, a Pokémon with this level is unable to evolve by friendship.
 
====Generation VIII onwards====
From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, a Pokémon requires at least 160 friendship in order to evolve.
 
If a [[Rare Candy]] is used on a level 100 Pokémon that evolves by leveling up and currently meets its evolution requirements (including friendship), it will evolve without gaining a level.
