How To Check Friendship in Pokemon Legends Arceus: Speak to Bellamy
Head toward the Pokemon pastures in Jubilife Village, follow the fence south and you will find Bellamy. This will begin the request Measuring Your Compatibility, in which he asks you to show him one of your Pokemon to see what your relationship is like.
Choose a Pokemon and Bellamy will judge how happy your Pokemon is. Provided the Pokemon has relatively high friendship, you will complete the request, so choose a Pokemon you have had for a while. Once the request is complete Bellamy will check your friendship level with any Pokemon. This can be important when you are trying to evolve certain Pokemon.
