Increasing Kubfu Friendship in Pokemon Sword & Shield

First off, if you have the Soothe Bell this is an easy way to increase friendship with Kubfu. Another option is to go camping with your Pokemon whenever possible. Breaking out a toy and playing with them is also a great way to improve friendship. 

Fighting with Kubfu in your party will raise his friendship level. You may not want to use him because he is a low level, but having him in the party is enough to help. If you are desperate, feeding him some Grepa Berries helps as well. These berries will make the Pokemon more friendly at the cost of lowing the special defense base points.

You can move Kubfu into the top position of your party as well so that whenever you walk around, he is walking with you. That will also help in raising the friendship level. Most importantly, it would help if you explored the map in the areas marked with exclamation points. There are four spots marked on the map, so if you head to those, it’s an easy way to become best friends with Kubfu. 

After becoming best friends, you can talk to Mustard, and he will take you outside and point you towards the Tower of Water and Tower of Darkness. You will need to bring Kubfu up to one of those after he levels up. That’s all you need to do to increase your friendship with Kubfu in Pokemon Sword & Shield.
