How To Tell Happiness?

[RyansRose]

In the D/P (Sinnoh) how do you tell the happiness ponits for a pokemon?

 

[Ryan the Terrible]

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to tell how happy your Pokémon are. If you keep pampering them, they get happier, but I don't know how, if there is a way, to tell how happy they are.

 

[RyansRose]

That you

There is an app on the Poketch called the Friendship Checker:

Function: Indentifies Pokemon that like you.

Use: (All credit for this goes to trrerid).
"If you tap anywhere on the screen that there
isn't a Pokemon, Pokemon with a high attracion
will come to your stylus. Also the levels
of friendship shown are
1.No hearts
2.Small heart.
3.Two small hearts
4.Two big hearts."

Obtained: Talk to the brown haired girl in the Enterna City
Pokemon Center.

Tips: The TM Return (Does more damage if the Pokemon
likes you) can be more powerful if you teach it to a
Pokemon that likes you. :P

There's also Dr. Footstep on Route 213, who doesn't exactly tell you how high is its Happiness, but he gives you an idea. And when it's really high, he gives you a ribbon, so I guess that could work.

I think there's a woman in the Pokemon Fanclub that checks friendship levels, but I'm not sure.

This is why the Poketch/PokeGear needs a friendship-scoring device.

Also, holy wrong board, Batman!

I second this as the best answer.

If it doesn't, then what's the app with your party floating around in it with the hearts that appear when you touch them with the stylus supposed to be? Happiness = friendship right?

or have I failed at detecting sarcasm again or something

Two hearts that get bigger mean max happiness, although you can usually evolve them with just two normal hearts.

 

[Alxprit]

Not necessarily, I find that after you get two hearts, you still have to go a bit longer to evolve. I know, it's annoyed me to no end. I had to do all the happiness evolutions in one burst and without any happiness berries, I had to just run around.

Took me around 35000 steps WITH Soothe Bells attached to ready them. Just a heads up.

Poketch app. :
http://www.pokewiki.de/Zuneigung#Pok.C3.A9mon_Diamant.2C_Perl_und_Platin
No heart : Between 0 and 99 Happiness Points
One little heart : Between 100 and 199 Hap. P.
Two little hearts : Between 200 and 254 Hap. P.
Two big hearts : 255 Hap. P.

Happiness Rater :
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Happiness#Happiness_raters
"It looks really happy! It must love you a lot" : 250-255
"I get the feeling that it really trusts you" : 200-249
"It's friendly toward you. It looks sort of happy" : 150-199
"It's quite cute" : 100-149
"You should treat it better. It's not used to you" : 50-99
"It doesn't seem to like you at all. It looks mean" : 0-49

A Pokémon that evolve by happiness needs 220 happiness points, so it should evolve if it has two little hearts.

And it should take 56,320 steps to a Pokémon without happinness to make it evolve without Soothe Bell. However, most Pokémon have a base Happinness of 70, which means that it should take 38,400 steps without Soothe Bell, or 19,200 with (except for Chansey, who has a base happiness of 140 : 20,480 steps w/o Soothe Bell and 10,240 w/).

My tip is use Return and the Poketch and keep battling. Using items (sans herbs) and levelling up raises happiness.

Or, if you don't mind cheating the time function, you can just set it to 11:59 and keep going to the Ribbon Syndicate spa and the massage by the woman in Veilstone.

 

[Alxprit]

Thank you for that data, Raikou4. I'll be sure to write it down.

 

[Sandslasher]

I've always used a app but don't know where you find it.

Thats all I know. sorry
