Friendship Forest (PMU 7)

Friendship Forest, frequently referred to as FF, is a dungeon that requires a teammate to complete, much like Harmonic Tower. In PMU 6, Friendship Forest lead into another dungeon called Far Friendship Forest. Friendship Forest was introduced in PMU 6 and was reintroduced in PMU 7 with slight alterations. Rock Climb is needed to access this dungeon.

The weather is always clear here, but be wary that Togepi here do have Metronome as a move and can pull a weather move.

Floor 1
This is the starting room. Many Pokémon will be pre-spawned already when entering this floor. There are 4 sets of stairs here; one set leading to Floor 2, and the other set—the ones behind the locked doors—leading to the descending floors. You cannot return to this room once you enter the descending floors. Make sure that at least one other person is on a different staircase.

Floor 2
On Floor 2, you will find some small piles of Poké. The stairs at the end of this floor lead to Floor 3 which have the East and West keys to unlock the doors back at the first floor. You and your party can enter using either staircases, with both of you going through one. However, in order to leave this floor, one player needs to be on either sides in order for you to open each other's doors.

Floor 3
Floor 3 is where the East and West keys are located, which are required in order to progress the dungeon. A lot of Pokémon are spawned in this floor each time entering so it's best to repeatedly clear this floor in order to level enough to recruit Pokémon here.

Floors 1-5 (Descending)
The rest of Friendship Forest's floors are merely puzzles requiring teamwork from both sides to open the doors while making sure all players from either sides manage to make it to the stairs. Excluding Floor 2, where it's spiral rooms with no switches or items. Please note that on Floor 4 it is possible to meet up with your partner(s) at a certain section and therefore messing up the setup of the puzzle, trapping yourselves. Credits to forum post made by Carlos for the guides.

Boss
There is only one Pokémon, Chansey, in the final boss room. Chansey is Level 30. While she doesn't drop anything, Friend Bows are at the exit of the room. There is 1 Friend Bow per person in the party.

Items
This dungeon does not contain the necessary items for an explorer to complete the dungeon, nor does it contain any move tutor items aside from a tiny mushroom. In this dungeon, there are select items that can be obtained with relative ease compared to getting them in other dungeons. At the end of the dungeon the player obtains the Friend Bow item, which gives a +10% recruit rate bonus when held by a team member.
