Hey. Mashew here.
This thread is for all of the newbies, or guys who just have no clue on happiness. I will tell you what to do to evolve your pokemon, what decreases happiness and what decreases it. Talley-Ho!

What increases Happiness:

Gaining level: 0-99, +5. 100-199, +3. 200-full, +2
Using Vitamins: 0-99, +5. 100-199, +3. 200-full, +2
Beating a Gym leader or Elite 4 : 0-99, +3. 100-199, +2. 200-full, +1

Walking 512 steps: +1. (depends)

Heal Powder: -5
Energy Root: -10
Revival Herb: -15
Trading: back to base.


Usually Pokemon that evolve by happiness evolve at 200-255 happiness level. how do you measure this, you say? Well, that is the subject of the next section!

Measuring Happiness
In goldenrod, you know that there is a lady in the house northeast of the bike shop in HG and SS. i am not sure that it is in P3D but i will update this part of the post with more info.

When pokemon walking behind you say:
<pokemon> is playing happily while looking at you
Woah! <pokemon> suddenly hugged you!
<pokemon> is poking your belly.
<pokemon> walks aside you proudly.
<pokemon> is just very happy to be with you.
<pokemon> wants to play.

will update! ;3

To be fair, it almost looks exactly the same as Bulbapedia or Serebii (I forgot which it was.) beside this part:

<pokemon> is poking your belly.
<pokemon> walks aside you proudly.
<pokemon> is just very happy to be with you.
<pokemon> wants to play.
That actually is useful. Would be great if you found out what the happiness numbers were for these statuses but that is near impossible.
