Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl (BDSP) features a wide range of familiar Pokemon, and you can find them in various locations around the game map. Like other Pokemon games, BDSP has the Friendship Level system, which is crucial for levelling up your Pokemon. You must increase your friendship with your Pokemon to evolve, and there are various ways to do that in BDSP.
A Soothe Bell can speed up the friendship gains with your Pokemons. So, you might want to find one and equip it for the Pokemon you want to evolve.
Here, we will look at all you need to know about the Soothe Bell BDSP. And, that includes where to find it and how to use it.
What is a Soothe Bell, and How Does it Work?
The Soothe Bell is a friendship gain booster item in Pokemon BDSP. You can give it to one of your Pokemon once you find this item. In other words, you cannot equip multiple Pokemon with a Soothe Bell.
Once you give it to a Pokemon, you will gain friendship levels 50% faster than usual. And, that makes the Soothe Bell quite a valuable item in the game. You cannot buy it in the store if you are wondering.
So, you have to look for it in the game world. The upcoming information will help you with where you can find the Soothe Bell BDSP.
Which Pokemon can Use the Soothe Bell?
The Soothe Bell works in quite a simple way, as we have seen. But, which of your Pokemon can you give it to? If you are wondering, you can give this item to any Pokemon. But, it is best given to a Pokemon that can evolve with a high Friendship level. So, here are some of them that fall in this category:
- Pichu: Evolves into Pikachu
- Togepi: Evolves into Togetic
- Azurill: Evolves into Marill
- Riolu: Evolves into Lucario
- Budew: Evolves into Rosalio (Day)
- Cleffa: Evolves into Clefairy
- Munchlax: Evolves into Snorlax
- Igglybuff: Evolves into Jigglypuff
- Eevee: Evolves into Umbreon, Espeon and Sylveon
- Chansey: Evolves into Blissey
- Alolan Meowth: Evolves into Alolan Persian
Your Pokemon will gain Happiness faster if you give it a Soothe Bell. And, that will ensure a faster Friendship level gain for the aforementioned Pokemon, among others. As a result, you would be able to evolve it a bit sooner. However, you need to keep involving your Pokemon in Happiness-gaining activities.
Where do You find the Soothe Bell BDSP?
Now that you know about the Soothe Bell, you might want to find it. And, that is easier than you might have thought. You must find a Soothe Bell if you have not already done that. Go to Route 212 to the south of Hearthome City and find the Pokemon Mansion.
You can approach this mansion to find various Pokemon and useful items. Among other things, the Pokemon Mansion can also provide you with a Soothe Bell.
You need to go to the right room in the mansion depending on the item you want. In this case, you need to visit the left-wing and go to the second room there. Approach the maid waiting there and talk to her to get a Soothe Bell. You will find this item in your bag’s Other Items pocket once you receive it.
Give the Soothe Bell BDSP to a Pokemon
Do you want to level up your friendship faster with a specific Pokemon? Then, you must select the Soothe Bell in your bag and click on Give. Select the Pokemon that you have in mind to make it hold the item. You can take this item away from the Pokemon if you want to. So, you can also use it with another Pokemon later on.
Alternatively, you can also click on a Pokemon to give it the Soothe Bell. Go to its Held Items section and select the item there. Continue leveling up your Pokemon once you have given it the Soothe Bell BDSP.
How to Know Your Friendship Level with Your Pokemon and Increase It?
The friendship level with your pokemon is not visible as mentioned earlier. But, you can use the Friendship Checker app in the game. You have to find this app in Eterna City on the game map. Speak with the woman in the Pokemon Center there with long brown hair to get this app.
You can also know the friendship level with a pokemon by checking its position near your hand. The farther it is, the lower the level of friendship you have with it. So, you might have to work more to level up the Pokemon you want to evolve.
Level Up Your Pokemon in BDSP
Leveling up your Pokemon works pretty much the same way in all Pokemon games. So, you need to increase the friendship level with the Pokemon to level it up in BDSP. You must equip the Soothe Ball you have found before proceeding with that. And, then use the Pokemon holding the item for various activities to level it up faster.
Battling other Pokemons is a great way to increase your friendship level with a Pokemon. But, make sure to choose opponents around the same level as you.
You must also include a Pokemon in your party to level it up. Making it break stones, shake trees or walk with you should also increase the friendship level.
Use the Soothe Bell to Evolve Your Pokemon Faster
The Soothe Bell is quite a useful item for leveling up your Pokemon as we have seen. You can find it quite easily at the aforementioned location. And, you must make sure to use the Soothe Bell in the best way once you have it.
Give it to the Pokemon that requires a high friendship level to evolve to its final form. You might be able to evolve many of the Pokemon in your party faster this way.
