Where can you get a soothe bell?

---

You get the soothe bell from Cheryl at the end of Eterna Forest and on route 112 go to the pokemon mansion and talk to a maid in the west side and get a second soothe bell

Answer 2

No
Budew evolves by having high friendship and leveing up between 4AM and 8PM.
This means you dont necessarily need the soothe bell but its defineatley easier for gaining Friendship.
