How do I make pokemon happy?

[Tsunami59]

can someone please tell me?

 

[Surgo]

Spam-feed it EV reducing berries. They raise happiness as well as reduce EVs. This is the absolute best way to raise happiness, as it takes about two minutes to max it out and the berries themselves grow extremely quickly.

Or you could just level them up. Pokémon get happier each time they gain a level.

Happiness is modified in the following ways:

* Gaining a level (+2)
* Walking 256 steps (+1)
* Stat modifiers (+2)
* Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen: Grooming (in Pallet Town, by Daisy)(+3)
* Pokémon Emerald only: Certain berries (+2)
* Luxury Ball

* Level gaining is now +6
* Stat modifiers are now +6
* Walking is now +2
* Fire/Leaf Grooming is now +4
* Emerald berries are now +3

* Using Soothe Bell (+1 for each other positive event)
* Energypowder (-5)
* Heal powder (-5)
* Energy root (-10)
* Revival Herb (-15)

256 steps = 1 happiness point. I made my Riolu evolve by walking for something like 15,000 steps plus some leveling up and other things, but mostly walking.

I tend to evolve them by giving them the Soothe bell to hold, feed several Poffins in they're favourite flavour, leave them in the no. 1 spot in my party and train them using lots of potions and status cures along the way so it doesn't faint.

Riolu

Hey trip what lvl was your Riolu at when he evoled, also what are EV berries and where do you get them.

 

[Nekusagi]

Are you screwed if you leave them in the box? It was impractical for me to carry mine around, so I just ditched him there... I mean, I'll come back later to get it, but still. Any negative consequences to that?

You know, Surgo's suggestion is certainly the best and most practical.
