The other is the ability to make Poffins and feed them to your Pokémon.

The usefulness of Poffins is somewhen imparted to you by Dr. Footsteps, whose firm is on Route 213, merely southeast of Pastoria City. Dr. Footsteps will tell yous what the first Pokémon in your party thinks of you lot, and he'll hint as to how your friendship can exist improved. If he says your Pokémon is hungry, that means your bond can deepen if you feed your Pokémon some Poffins.

Once you become the Poffin Case, you can brand every bit many Poffins as your thumbs can handle, and you lot can feed your Pokémon Poffins until it says it'south full. Bank check your Pokémon'south summary to see if they like a particular kind of Poffin — spicy, sour, etc. If y'all feed them the specific kind they like, they'll be happier, which ways your friendship will better more than quickly.

Some Pokémon will "eat anything," which is okay, likewise. Feeding your Pokémon whatever Poffin (except Foul, perchance) will meliorate your bail, but catering the selection is similar icing on the cake — or, rather, sprinkles on the Poffin.
