Befriending Badge

A Befriending Badge

Befriending Badges (Japanese: フレンドメダル friend medals) are a feature in Pokémon Sleep. When the player raises each Pokémon species' friendship level to a certain point, they can earn a Befriending Badge for that Pokémon species. Befriending Badges were introduced in version 2.7.0[1]

Description

Befriending Badges are acquired by raising a Pokémon species' friendship level. The friendship level for a Pokémon species is raised by one every time the player befriends a Pokémon of that species during sleep research.
Every species, excluding Mythical Pokémon, starts with Friendship level 1. Each Pokémon species’ Befriending Badge can be viewed in the Sleep Style Dex.

Effect

Befriending Badges have three ranks: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each of the them Befriending Badges has its own effects, and they mainly work during sleep research when the player encounters a Pokémon species they've already obtained a Befriending Badge for.
