Dendra Pokémon Academy Bond

Follow this guide to max out Dendra's bond in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Learn where to find her and what to say to get those sweet rewards!

Alright, so you're diving into Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and want to make sure you're not missing out on anything cool, right? Dendra's bond building is one of those things that's super easy to overlook when you're busy with the main story, shiny hunting, or tackling those tough Tera Raids. But trust me, it's totally worth going back to!

Maxing out your bond with Dendra, just like with the other teachers, means you'll get some pretty sweet rewards, like rare or expensive items. It's a neat little mechanic that adds a bit more immersion to the game, which is always a plus.

The general idea is to ace all her classes, including the midterm and final exams. You can do all the teacher events at once if you knock out the classes first, which saves you from having to backtrack constantly. Once you've finished all of Ms. Dendra’s Battle Studies, you can then focus on maxing out her bond. Here’s how:

How to Increase Friendship with Ms. Dendra

Step 1: The School Yard

First things first, head over to the School Yard. This is where Dendra's bond building kicks off, and it's the same spot where you did some of her Battle Studies. When you chat with her and she asks about her sandwich, don't overthink it! Both dialogue options lead to the same result, so you can be as honest or as… *creative* as you like with your feedback.

Step 2: Home Economics Room

Next up on your Dendra bond-building quest is the Home Economics room. This one's a breeze – just start a conversation with Dendra. You'll see your friendship level go up!

Step 3: The Nurse's Office

Keep going, you're almost there! Head to the Nurse's Office. You'll find Dendra there, probably bothering Miriam with another one of her sandwich creations. Again, no matter what you say in the conversation, it's all good. This is also the point where Dendra starts to really trust you, which sets you up for the final step.

Step 4: The School Store

This is it, the final step! Make your way to the School Store. After a quick chat with Dendra, she'll reward you with ten Protein. Boom! You've officially formed a close bond with her.

Oh, and if you're looking to stock up on more Protein later, you can always hit up a Chansey Supply store. They cost 10,000 a pop, but hey, stat boosts are worth it, right? There are four of them scattered across Paldea, so definitely check out a guide for their exact locations if you need 'em.
