  • If no hearts show up, then it is neutral and not really liking or hating you.
  • If one heart shows up, then it is somewhat friendly with you. The move Return would work OK with this Pokémon.
  • If two hearts show up, then it is friendly with you. The move Return would work fairly good with this Pokémon.
  • If two hearts that start small then turn large show up, then the Pokémon really likes you. The move Return would work very well with this Pokémon, and the Pokémon will evolve the next time you level up if they can evolve via friendship.
Tips
  • Pay attention to the hearts shown by the checker to gauge your Pokémon's friendship.
  • Higher friendship levels can lead to Pokémon evolving.
  • The move Return's power is affected by your Pokémon's friendship level.
