Why did my Budew evolve without meeting the friendship requirements?

Jul. 24, 2022

In the poketch app it said my budew had 0 hearts, it was neutral when click and holding the cursor over it and when I held it slightly further away it would run away. Unlike the prinplup and 2 others that would move towards it with 2 hearts.

Budew then proceeded to evolve at level 25 into roselia, which shouldn’t be possible at 0 hearts. Apparently 2 hearts are needed to evolve it.

Also, the high friendship messages that appear with the other Pokemon didn’t appear with the budew and certainly not with the roselia.

Update: After turning the game off and on, it turns out that the roselia actually has 2 hearts. Seems to be a bug that occurred.

Several Pokémon evolve after being leveled up when their friendship value is 220 or higher (before Generation VIII) or160 or higher (Generation VIII).

sourceAlso yes there probably was a bug with the Poketch not updating.
