So I found a random shiny bunneary literally a minute before asking this question and want to evolve it into a lopunny. I know cafes are good I just want to know if there is a quicker method. Thanks!

Why is this flagged?
That is saying how friendship works. I want to know the best way to earn it. They are different questions
Does the information in that answer not already answer your question?
I think both of these questions are worth having. People looking for an answer to this online will probably be typing "best way to get friendship", not "how does friendship work".
I agree with amythest
Okay, so, the best way to get high friendship is to make sure that you visit the cafe's around the city. You can visit the same cafe over and over again as many times as you like, and each visit costs around 700 poke-dollars, and around 4 to 7 visits actually maxes out visits. So the cost to max out friendship in this way could cost around 4,900 buckarronies, but its a bang for your buck, its a lot faster than battling and running around in circles while the pokemon has a soothe bell lol. So just keep visiting those cafe's, you're on the right track!
Go to a cafe! After just a few trips you're shiny should be ready to evolve!

First off, you'll need the Soothe Bell. This is achieved by completing Side Mission 36: Some Friendly Competition - this is completed by simply beating a female NPC named Chou in battle. The side mission unlocks after beating Canari's Quiz Whiz Contest and is located on Café Rouleau, next to Wild Zone 9. Chou has two Pokémon - both of which evolve with friendship (Lopunny and Clefairy).

Cafes are costly but I'd recommend you get the Roserade Tea, which can be found at 350 per cup at the Nouveau Trucks (all 3). Game Rant found 4 cups of this is enough to make Eevee evolve into Umbreon/Espeon/Sylveon, so the same should apply to your Lopunny too (and the Soothe bell makes it quicker)

Thanks!
It doesn't matter which café you visit or what item you order, all of them have the same effect. Gaming journalists tend to hastily report anecdotal evidence in a misleading way.
I do trust Game Rant, so I used them as a source.


Then again, if they're all the same then Moomoo Milk or Fresh water is cheaper in that regard as the prices go as low as 100, depending on the café
