Points to Be Updated New Features

■ Preparation for a new event - Dream Shard Week Vol. 1
Please see the event news for more details.

■ Addition of a new feature: Befriending Badges
When you raise each Pokémon species’ friendship level to a certain point, you can earn a Befriending Badge for that Pokémon species.

Befriending Badges

Befriending Badges have three ranks and can be sequentially obtained based on friendship level. Each of the three Befriending Badges has its own effects, and they primarily exert their effects during sleep research when you encounter a Pokémon species you’ve already obtained a Befriending Badge for. Each Pokémon species’ Befriending Badge can be viewed in the Sleep Style Dex.

Bronze Badge
• The first sub skill will always be gold for Pokémon you encounter that are the same species.
• You’ll have an increased chance to encounter Shiny Pokémon whose species you have a Bronze Badge for.

Silver Badge
• The Befriending Badge effect that always makes certain sub skills gold can now be toggled on or off for each sub skill.
• The second sub skill will always be gold for Pokémon you encounter that are the same species.
• New profile icons will unlock.
• If you have a Silver Badge for a Pokémon species, it will be easier to encounter a Shiny one.

Gold Badge
• The third sub skill will always be gold for Pokémon you encounter that are the same species.
• An exclusive frame will be added to the profile icon that unlocks with the Silver Badge.
• If you have a Gold Badge for a Pokémon species, it will be even easier to encounter a Shiny one.

Note: The friendship level required to earn Gold, Silver, and Bronze Badges varies for each Pokémon species.
Note: If there are Pokémon that have already exceeded the friendship level required to earn a Befriending Badge, you will automatically receive their species’ respective badges when you update the app.
