Gifts

The other side of the Favourites system — not what you give them, but what they give you: who gives what, at which stage, and how often.

The game shows friendship as a gauge, not a number, and no official source gives a rate for the random material gifts. This page lists only what is pinned down, and says "undocumented" where that is the honest answer rather than guessing.

The five stages

Stage	What changes	What you get	Frequency
1 · Just met	Newly moved in, still keeps its distance	Nothing yet — but if it has the Litter specialty, the drops start from day one	Litter: continuous
2 · Warming up	Starts proposing games — quizzes and Look This Way	Still no gifts, but the games are one of the fastest ways to push the gauge	It approaches you
3 · Friendly	Looks pleased to see you	Starts handing over materials it has found, unprompted	Rate undocumented
4 · Close	Drops "Ditto" and calls you by your given name	The fifteen Pokémon with an emote hand it over around here	Emote: once
5 · Best Friends	Comes to you and announces it	A Best Friend mark on its Pokédex entry, and a tick on the 100% checklist	Once

Specialties that trade rather than give

These also hand you things, but you have to put something in first — they are exchanges, not gifts.
