Soothe Bell
Summary
Soothe Bell is a held item in the Pokémon series known for its unique effect of increasing the happiness or friendship level of the Pokémon holding it. Happiness or friendship is a key mechanic in the games, influencing the evolution of certain Pokémon, as well as the power of specific moves like Return and Frustration.
Effects:
- Increase in Happiness: The primary function of the Soothe Bell is to increase the rate at which a Pokémon's happiness level grows. When a Pokémon is holding the Soothe Bell, any activity that would normally increase its happiness (such as walking with the Trainer, leveling up, or using certain vitamins and berries) will be more effective. This accelerated increase can help players quickly bond with their Pokémon, an essential element for evolving species like Pichu to Pikachu, Eevee to Espeon or Umbreon, and many others that require high friendship levels for evolution.
