Friendship Checker Evaluations

The Friendship Checker will describe the level of friendship you have with your Pokemon. You can get an idea of how good your friendship is with your Pokemon based on her description.

Friendship Level Description Evolve Pokemon with High Friendship?
Highest "Whoa, You're the best friends ever! I can tell just being together gives you warm fuzzies!"
Higher "Wow, you're pretty great friends! You sure mean a lot to each other."
High "You're good friends, all right! You definitely enjoy each other's company!"
Mid "You're getting along well...but I'm sure you could get way friendlier!" Possible
Low "You're starting to get friendly. I bet you'll get along better soon!"
Base Friendship "You two seem kinda neutral - like you don't mind each other. I hope you get closer!"

If you're on the higher end of the mid-level threshold, it will be possible to evolve Pokemon that require higher friendship.

Talk with Your Pokemon During Picnics

5 Highest
4 Higher
3 High
2 Mid Possible

Having a picnic seems to also show hearts that show friendship level

The Friendship Ribbon dialog (at least in Scarlet) is as such: "Woah, you're the best friends ever! I can tell just being together gives you warm fuzzies!" "I've got something for you to commemorate such a nice friendship!" "[Player name] received a Best Friends Ribbon!"
