First of all, only some Pokemon can be evolved by increasing Friendship. Here is a list of all of them as of writing:

• Budew (Roselia during daytime)
• Pichu (into Pikachu)
• Cleffa (into Clefairy)
• Eevee (Espeon during daytime, Umbreon at nighttime, and Sylveon only if it knows a Fairy-type move)
• Buneary (Lopunny)
• Riolu (Lucario during daytime)

Here are some simple steps to increase your Friendship in Pokemon Legends Z-A:

• As mentioned earlier, select your Pokemon and keep them in your party.
• Next, go to any cafe in Lumiose City with your critter.
• At the cafe, get a drink, and while you enjoy it, your Pokemon will sit with you.
• This simple activity will help you increase your Friendship level with the selected Pokemon.
• Repeat the process several times to ultimately evolve your chosen critter.

This is perhaps the easiest and simplest way to increase Friendship in Pokemon Legends Z-A. You will likely have to repeat the process three to four times to achieve an evolution. You can also use friendship-boosting items such as the Soothe Bell to increase it faster.

Apart from this, you can also increase Friendship by simply taking your Pokemon to battle. The more you fight alongside them, the more experience points they will gain, resulting in a deeper bond.

Handing them items such as the Exp. Candy S will also boost their experience points, ultimately helping you raise your Friendship level.
