One effective method of quickly increasing friendship is by organizing picnics, during which you can cook food for your Pokemon to boost their friendship levels and strengthen their bond with you. Additionally, using the Wash feature before departing can further enhance their affinity.

After evolving your Pokemon, remember to refer to the Tera Raid Battle schedule to take on the most difficult challenges in the game and acquire strong creatures such as Sceptile or Paradox Pokemon.
