Once the interaction ends, friendship level with the Trainer will increase by the amount the friendship points earned. These come in standard, good, and awesome forms, with more valuable gifts giving greater boosts. Gifts can be purchased in the Lodge Exchange and are specific to each sync pair. The following table lists all the amounts of points that can be earned during each round of topic selection:Ī gift can be given to the Trainer to restore attention, refresh topics, and multiply the amount of friendship points earned at the end of the interaction. If the Trainer's level is high enough (estimated at level 30 or above), there is a chance that the hot topic will be revealed at the start of the interaction. Max vibes can only be reached once per interaction. Max vibes is a state that lasts for two topic selections, and while active, the Trainer's attention will not drop, the interaction will not end, and the amount of friendship points earned for each topic selection are doubled. Selecting a discussion topic of their hot topic category halves Attention drop and can make the Trainer reach max vibes. The Trainer is assigned a hot topic category from one of these categories for each interaction. Topics are associated with one of seven categories: Pokemon, Items, Friends, Hobbies, Fashion, Places, and Other. The attention level at which the interaction ends appears to be random, with the lowest possible attention level being 0%. Attention starts at 100%, and it drops for each topic chosen after the second topic. The player continues to choose one of three discussion topics as the Trainer's attention wanes. Thus, the longer the interaction lasts, the more points that will be earned for each topic selected. For example, the second topic selected will earn 1 bonus point, the third topic selected will earn 2 bonus points, and so on. In addition, bonus points will be added for each consecutive topic selected. After the player selects a topic, the Trainer's reaction to it will determine the base number of points awarded: The player character starts the interaction by initiating a chat with a Trainer, and is given three topics of discussion to choose from.
