In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, players can enjoy picnics with their Pokemon (once they've got past the intro stage). This is great for a lot of reasons. Firstly, it's adorable to see Pokemon wandering around, interacting with each other, and curling up for a nap. More importantly, however, having a picnic with Pokemon gives players the opportunity to increase friendship levels, make sandwiches for stat boosts, and even breed their Pokemon using the egg basket.
