How to Get the Soothe Bell in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Friendship is a strange stat you might not think about much in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. However, this usually forgotten stat is actually very important to the evolutions of a few Pokemon you can come across, including Eevee, a special Pokemon with multiple elemental evolutions.

While you can increase your friendship naturally through walking and battling together, those who want to speed the process up a bit can also get their hands on a Soothe Bell.

This special item will make the friendship level of a Pokemon increase faster, which is especially helpful if you're catching the aforementioned Eevees in hopes of evolving them all.

But how exactly do you get your hands on the Soothe Bell? Well, we're glad you asked. This guide will teach you not only how to get the Soothe Bell, but also how to make the most of it when leveling up your Pokemon's friendship stat in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

How to Get the Soothe Bell

Getting your hands on the Soothe Bell is a lot easier than you think.

In fact, all you'll need to do is purchase the item from the Delibird Presents store in Mesagoza, the central city in Paldea. The Soothe Bell costs 5,000 Poke Dollars and can only be bought from these stores. You can also purchase it from the Delibird Presents shop over in Cascarrafa.

There doesn't appear to be any requirement of progress through the Victory Road storyline, either, so you can head over at any point.

If you don't want to have to purchase multiple Soothe Bells, you can also duplicate the item, which can be done using a special glitch in the game.

Once you have a Soothe Bell, though, you can give it to a Pokemon like Eevee, which requires a high friendship level to evolve. This will cause the Pokemon to grow its friendship level faster, making it reach that evolution point that much quicker.

This is really handy for some Pokemon that require high friendship levels to evolve, and this is one of the best ways to speed up the process immensely. Of course, there are other ways to evolve Pokemon, too, and some like Pawmo even require you to walk 1,000 steps to evolve it to its final evolutionary form.

Now that you know how to get the Soothe Bell, you can increase your friendship levels quickly and then take advantage of everything else that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has to offer.
