Pokémon Legends: Z-A has a smaller Pokédex than most in recent years, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of Pokémon that have evolution methods other than level up that aren’t immediately obvious. There are a bunch of Pokémon that can only evolve when they have a high level of friendship, which can be difficult to obtain if you don’t know how.

We’ll give you a full list of every Pokémon that evolves via this method, and how to quickly raise a Pokémon’s friendship.

Friendship isn’t the only tricky evolution method in the game, though. Check out our list of every trade evolution Pokémon and every stone evolution Pokémon to help round out your Pokédex.

There is a method to very quickly and easily raise Pokémon friendship in Legends: Z-A, it’ll just require you to have a bit of cash on hand. Go to any cafe in the city with the Pokémon you want to grind friendship on out walking with you, your Pokémon’s friendship will get a boost every time you buy a coffee from any cafe and drink it with that Pokémon.

After doing this a handful of times, all you need to do is level up the Pokémon, and if its friendship is high enough, you’ll get the option to evolve it.
