Pokémon Camp (Japanese: ポケモンキャンプ Pokémon Camp) is a feature introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield that allows the player to care for their Pokémon in various ways. It is similar to Pokémon-Amie and Pokémon Refresh, but Pokémon Camp also introduces the option for the player to cook curry and visit other player's camps.
Pokémon Camp can be accessed from the menu except for when the player is on the water or challenging a Gym mission.
Features
Playing
The player can call, chat, and take out a toy to play with their Pokémon. Calling a Pokémon can awaken a sleeping Pokémon. Playing with a Pokémon will gradually lower its playfulness.
Playing with Pokémon can increase the Pokémon's friendship and its experience. In the Wild Area, the player can earn Watts as well. The more a Pokémon is played with, the more friendship will be increased. Higher-level Pokémon will also earn more experience this way. However, when a Pokémon is not feeling playful, no experience or friendship can be gained by playing.
There are eight available toys to play with: a Poké Toy and various toy balls.
Cooking
- Main article: Curry
The player can cook curry, check their ingredients in the Bag, and check their Curry Dex. Cooking and eating curry will increase a Pokémon's sociability and restore a Pokémon's playfulness.
Tent color
The player can change the color of their tent to match one of the types of the player's lead party Pokémon by talking to the Camping King in East Lake Axewell outside of Motostoke.
Stats
Pokémon Camp uses three stats: friendship, playfulness, and sociability.
Friendship
- Main article: Friendship
Friendship is the friendship stat that has appeared in previous games. It ranges from 0 to 255, and has levels that provide bonuses if a Pokémon's friendship is above a certain threshold. Affection no longer exists in Pokémon Sword and Shield; instead, bonuses that were determined by affection in previous games are now determined by friendship in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
A Pokémon with a high level of friendship will gain certain bonuses in battle and will interact with its Trainer in unique ways. These in-battle bonuses do not apply in link battles or battle facilities.
- At friendship level 1 and higher, a Pokémon may find items after cooking curry.
- At friendship level 3 and higher, a Pokémon may endure attacks that could otherwise make it faint, surviving with 1 HP.
- At friendship level 4 and higher, a Pokémon gains boosted experience from battles, and may recover from status conditions at the end of a turn.
- At friendship level 5, a Pokémon may dodge attacks and has an increased critical hit ratio.
Sociability
Sociability is a stat exclusively used in Pokémon Camp. It ranges from 0 to 255 and is not reset when traded.[1] Sociability affects how much a Pokémon wants to interact with other Pokémon. Cooking curry with Pokémon increases their sociability.
If the player's party has an average sociability of at least 200,[2] after cooking curry there is a chance (depending on the rank of the curry made) to attract a wild Pokémon from the current location's hidden encounters, who then requests to join the player. If the player accepts, it joins the player without battling, using a Poké Ball from their Bag. This cannot occur in the Wild Area, Isle of Armor, Crown Tundra, or any location that does not have any land wild encounters.
If cooking with another Trainer (an NPC or player), that other Trainer's Pokémon may give the player an item after cooking curry if they have high sociability.
Playfulness
Playfulness limits how much the player can do to increase the Pokémon's friendship.
Visiting camps
The player can visit other player's camps in the Wild Area, the Isle of Armor, and the Crown Tundra, as well as NPC camps on each of the routes in Galar, except for Route 1 and Route 2. The player can talk and cook with other campers, as well as exchange League Cards with other players.
The NPC camps and their locations are listed below. Each of these camps also serve as Flying Taxi destinations. The Berries the NPCs use depend on the Berries the player chooses.
