How do I increase friendship in D/P?

Question

Guys how I can raise friendship from a Pokémon in DP, I want to evolve Budew

Comments

I thought having your Pokémon to lead your team and 'a' (I forgot which one) bell helps too.

Answer 1

These things will raise a Pokemon's friendship:
Ribbon Syndicate massage
EV berry
leveling up
vitamin
Veilstone City massage
battling a gym leader, elite 4 member, or champion
128 steps
learning a TM or HM move (make sure you don't break copyright law when using a trademark move)
X items (including dire hits and guard specs)

These things will lower a Pokemon's friendship:
fainting
surviving poison outside of battle (probably doesn't apply to Budew)
bitter herbs

The easiest ways to evolve Budew are probably leveling up, EV berries (any of the 6 except Hondew and Tamato), vitamins (specifically the calcium and carbos), and the Veilstone City massage. Use a soothe bell if you can.

There a lot of ways. Go to the section that is about gen IV.

I don't know why someone flagged this. It is ok to link if the question requires a long list like this question does.

SYL thinks I should have wrote it all out

Late, but this is fine, it's been stated historically (it might just be in the rules actually, I don't remember the exact wording) that if it's a long list then it's fine to link it.
