Vitamins, battle items and HP-healing items increase Pikachu's friendship even if they have no effect. For instance, attempting to use a [[Potion]] on a Pikachu that has [[fainting|fainted]] or has full health, an [[Antidote]] when Pikachu is not [[Poison (status condition)|poisoned]], [[Calcium]] when Pikachu has already reached its maximum {{DL|Statistic|Special}} [[stat experience]], or [[X Special]] when the Special stat has already been {{DL|Statistic|Stat modifiers|raised 6 stages}} in battle. In cases like these, the item is not consumed; it remains available to be used again, so the same item can repeatedly increase Pikachu's friendship. However, battle items such as [[X Special]] only raise Pikachu's friendship if they are used in-battle, since they are normally unusable outside battles in the first place. Waking Pikachu up with the [[Poké Flute]] (either in or out of battle) does not change its friendship.

Unlike the items mentioned above, a [[TM]] or [[HM]] only increases friendship if Pikachu successfully learns the respective move. The TM or HM doesn't increase friendship if Pikachu is incompatible with the move, if it already knows the move, if the player tries to replace an HM move (which can't be replaced), or if the player chooses to cancel teaching the move
