Everyone can use a friend.

Some Pokémon are just your friend because they’ve been around since the start of your adventure while others are befriended for strategic reasons. These Pokémon are likely to be the latter.

There are a lot of Pokémon that evolve once you achieve High Friendship, but others will need to complete certain requirements alongside that. This evolution method has been present for a long time so, as you’d expect, these Pokémon come from many generations.

We’ve broken down our list into the Pokémon that evolves, what it will evolve into, and finally any extra requirements. So you can stay looped in to which Pokémon you should make your best friend, here’s a look at the whole list.
