Friendship debuted in [[Generation I]] as a mechanic that applied only to the {{player}}'s {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}. In [[Generation II]], it was expanded to cover all Pokémon. In all games, friendship is a value that ranges from 0 to 255 (stored as a single byte). In Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu's friendship is indicated by the expression it shows when the player talks to it, but in later games, [[#Raters|certain NPCs]] in the games will evaluate the friendship of a Pokémon in the player's [[party]].

A Pokémon's friendship is generally set when the player first obtains it. When a Pokémon is first caught from the wild, its friendship starts at its [[List of Pokémon by base friendship|base friendship]] value. Trading a Pokémon also resets its friendship to its base value, unless it is being traded back to its [[original Trainer]] in [[Generation VI]] or later, in which case it regains the friendship it had before being traded away. A Pokémon caught in a {{ball|Friend}} starts with 200 friendship instead of its base friendship, while a Pokémon hatched from an {{pkmn|Egg}} starts with 120 friendship.

Friendship is generally increased by taking good care of a Pokémon. Keeping a Pokémon in the player's party, raising it, using items on it, and getting it [[Pokémon groomer|groomed]] will all increase a Pokémon's friendship. Letting it faint and using bitter [[herbal medicine]]s on it will decrease a Pokémon's friendship.

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.

Starting in Generation III, if a Pokémon was caught in a {{ball|Luxury}} or is currently at the same location where it was {{pkmn2|caught}} (its met location), any increase to its friendship is boosted by an extra point (two points if both apply). If a Pokémon is holding a [[Soothe Bell]], increases to its friendship are boosted by 50% of the change. In Generation III, Soothe Bell applies directly to the original change in friendship, while in later games, it applies to the the friendship change after including Luxury Ball and met location bonuses. In Generation IV, being at its met location does not change the amount of friendship a Pokémon gains, but it does from Generation V onward.

In Generation V, the Befriending Power [[Pass Power]] boosts any increase to friendship by one to three points depending on the strength of the power used. In Generation VI, the Befriending Power [[O-Power]] has the same effect. Befriending Power does not exist in [[Generation VII]].
