The <b>friendship</b> stat, in PRO more common under the name of "happiness", represents how happy a Pokémon is and is set as a number between zero and 255, while zero is the lowerst possible friendship and 255 the highest possible friendship.

==Visualizing Friendship==

There are two options to visualize a Pokémon´s friendship ingame. First option is to take a look at the friendship bar next to the Pokémon´s Health bar appearing on your Pokémon´s Info Card. A disadvantage of this method is that no number is shown up and you have to estimate the exact number. Second method is to use the [[In-Game_Commands|Ingame Command]] <i>/happy party-slot number</i> which will visualize the exact ammount of happiness into the chat.
