Friendship Levels

For every day that you complete certain activities with your Pokémon GO friend, you’ll grow your Friendship Level.  There are five Friendship Level milestones: Friends, Good Friends, Great Friends, Ultra Friends, and Best Friends. As you battle, trade, send Gifts, and complete other interactions with a friend, you’ll reach Friendship Level milestones and unlock extra bonuses such as a Battle Boost or extra Premier Balls in raids.
