Affection
Affection is an in-game mechanic that indicates how affectionate a Pokémon is to its owner. Affection is a value from 0-255 and can be viewed on a Pokémon's summary in the Contest section. Affection is commonly confused with Happiness.
Effects
Evolution
Affection is one of many factors that influences a Pokémon's Evolution.
Currently, there are only 2 Pokémon that require Affection as an Evolution requirement:
- Eevee evolves into Sylveon with Max Affection.
- Rockruff evolves into Lycanroc [Dusk Forme] at Level 25 during Dusk with high Affection.
Breeding
Affection is also a potential factor in determining the results of Breeding. Certain Pokémon may produce different Eggs when at maximum Affection. Currently, there is only one circumstance in which Affection influences the results of Breeding. In order to breed Kinaster, the parent Lunupine and Solynx must be maximum Affection.
Raising Affection
Affection can be raised through the use of the following Consumables. Note that the Berries can only be fed to Pokémon that prefer that Berry or Pokémon with no flavour preference. The Big Malasada can be fed to any Pokémon.
