You can add friends in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV) locally, by using a friend code, or by searching for users you recently played with! Read on to learn how to add friends on your Nintendo Switch so you can play with other trainers online.
List of Contents
| 1 | Go to the Nintendo Switch home page; if you are in-game, press the Home Button to go back to the Home Menu of the Nintendo Switch. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Go to your profile by selecting the icon at the top left corner of the screen and go to the user tab under the Profile menu. |
| 3 |  Under the user tab you will see your Friend Code. This code must then be given to your friend so he/she can add you as a friend. |
On the receiving end, go to the Add a Friend tab in the Profile menu and select the received friend request, then accept the friend request of your partner to become friends.
You can add your friends who are near you by picking the Add Locally option in the Add a Friend section of the profile menu. Both you and your friend should select the same image for you to find each others' profile.
On the receiving end, select the profile of your friend from the available choices of people who chose the same image for adding locally. You and your friend will need to choose each other for the friend request to go through. Be reminded that you will need to connect to the internet for the request to be finalized.
You can send friend requests to players with whom you have played previously. Simply go to the Add a Friend tab and choose “Search for Users you Played With”. In the menu you will see players who you have played with previously and will be able to send a friend request to users of your choice.

Adding Friends simply makes it easier to meet up and connect with other trainers online, from anywhere in the world! Test your mettle as a trainer by getting into online battles with your friends or help each other complete the Pokedex by a trading rare Pokemon! If you just want to explore the Paldea Region with your friends, that works too!
We still don't know when the Poke Portal feature will be unlocked in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet but we can expect it to work just like the Union Room in Pokemon BDSP where it can be accessed from anywhere in the region.
