Dendra Pokémon Academy Bond Building

Like most Teachers in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, missing Dendra’s Pokémon Academy bond building is easy to do. Most players are guilty of getting stuck into the three main questlines, shiny hunting, hunting down Tera Raids and more, but it’s worth going back to School.

Maxing out Dendra’s Pokémon Academy bond will reap its rewards with rare or expensive items like other Teachers. This in-game mechanic is a nice change of pace for trainers and delivers the drop of immersion that’s been missing from recent Pokémon titles to a degree.

As a general rule, you’ll want to clear all of that teacher’s classes and ace the midterm and final. Each event usually takes place during this, but it’s much easier to do that first and then you can do all teacher events at once without having to check back. Once you’ve completed all of Ms. Dendra’s Battle Studies, you can then get to work on maxing her bond with the following steps:

How to Increase Friendship with Ms. Dendra

Step 1

First off, trainers should shoot over the the School Yard where the Dendra Pokémon Academy bond building will start. It’s the same location trainers took part in Battle Studies for those who are a bit stuck. After asking for some training, answer her question about how her "Sandwich" iconSandwich tastes. Both answers give the same outcome, so feel free to be as nice or as offensive as possible.

Step 2

Next up on a trainers Dendra Pokémon Academy bond building journey is the Home Economics room. Trainers simply need to start a conversation with Dendra to complete this step and see their friendship level increase.

Step 3

Next up is the Nurses Office where Dendra is mithering Miriam to try out her latest terrible Sandwich creation. All conversation options lead to the save outcome so feel free to let your Chaotic Neutral energies flow. This is also when trainers will be trusted by Dendra, which leads up to our final step.

Step 4

The final part of building Dendra’s Pokémon Academy bond takes place in the School Store. After talking with Dendra there, trainers will receive ten "Protein" iconProtein and will have earned the status of forming a close bond with Dendra.

For those looking to stock up on Protein, players head head over to a Chansey Supply store and buy them for 10,000 alongside other stat boosting items. There’s four locations all over Paldea, so make sure to check our guide which includes inventory and locations.
