    If you haven't already, catch the Pokémon that you want to train. Use a Luxury Ball, as these increase the friendship of the caught Pokémon more quickly. If you already have a Pokémon you want to train, move on to the next step.

    Don't let the Pokémon faint! When they faint, they lose some friendship. If their HP is low, it is best to switch. If you are using Experience Share, you might not have to battle with them as much, and they will still gain a portion of the experience earned by other team members.

    Don't use the herbal medicines. Pokémon don't like the bitter taste of these medicines and it will make them lose friendship. Instead, use other items, such as potions and revives.

    Give the Pokémon a massage. There is a lady in Mauville City who will give one free massage a day to the leader of your party. Additionally, your friends in your secret base, depending on their trainer class, may be able to give massages as well.
