  • Evolving Happiny

The Normal-type Happiny may not be trainers' kickoff option of Pokemon, as it has poor Attack and Defense. However, once information technology evolves into Chansey and Blissey, it gains an HP base stat of 250-255. Pokemon Legends: Arceus gets rid of gym challenges and instead has players running over Hisui catching Pokemon. Regardless of whether trainers take Happiny into battle with them, recording its Pokedex entry is a requirement to consummate the Pokedex for the Galaxy Squad.

In previous Pokemon games, Happiny could evolve into Chansey if information technology had loftier Friendship and was holding an Oval Stone when it leveled up. While Friendship is still a mechanic in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Held Items no longer exist. This means Happiny, along with a few other Pokemon, has a new mode of evolving in the Hisui region.

Finding Happiny

Happiny is a rare spawn that tin be defenseless in three out of the 5 areas of Hisui. If players are lucky, there may be an outbreak of Happiny, making it much easier to detect and catch them.

Here's a listing of Happiny'south habitats:

  • Obsidian Fieldlands (Oreburrow Tunnel, Obsidian Falls)
  • Cobalt Coastlands (Hideaway Bay)
  • Alabaster Icelands (Barrage Slopes)

It may be easier to hold off on catching Happiny until all Celestial Pokemon have been unlocked. The Happiny that roam the Avalanche Slopes will exist easier to get to once players are able to summon the Ride Braviary.

Because Happiny's a docile Pokemon, it's easier to catch it using the Dorsum Strike technique and throwing a Heavy Brawl.

Evolving Happiny

Originally, Happiny would evolve if it had a Friendship level of 220 or higher, was holding an Oval Stone, and so leveled up once in battle. For some odd reason, Happiny's Friendship isn't a part of its evolution method in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Its development detail (Oval Stone) no longer functions as a Held Detail, but an evolutionary rock instead.

Oval Stones can be establish by having Pokemon mine crystals/stones in the wild. Players that desire to avert beingness at the mercy of RNG can instead visit the Trading Post next to the Galaxy Hall in Jubilife Village. The cost of i Oval Stone is 400 Merit Points (MP), which trainers tin go by finding and returning satchels in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

While it seems Friendship has been removed from Happiny's development, Chansey notwithstanding needs Friendship to evolve into Blissey. For those who just want Chansey, all they need to worry about is finding the Oval Stone for Happiny.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is available at present on Nintendo Switch.
