Make your pokes happy- small happiness guide [WIP]

[RysPicz]

It's gonna be quick and short.

 

This guide is here to help you raise the happiness of your pokemons faster and more efficiently. This helps especially when you are breeding a baby pokemon which requires happiness to evolve (Igglybuff, Pichu, Azurill etc). I will list the things I know about, that will help you raise your pokemon's happiness faster.

 

1. Daisy

 

Bae can raise happiness of one of your pokemons once a day (irl day) for 29%, for free. That's about it pretty much, kek.

 

2. Soothe Bell

 

Soothe Bell originally boosts the gained happiness by 50%. Seems like here in MMO it boosts the happiness pokemon gains only through leveling up (usually 1,5% per level) and through walking. Kinda went out of usage after I discovered berries :)

 

3. Vitamins and Rare candies

 

These raise happiness by 2% each. This includes PP max/ Up.

(no pic, I don't wanna show off how many of them I got...)

 

 

4. Luxury Ball

 

If a pokemon is caught (or put, when breeding) into a Luxury Ball, it will gain happiness faster than the other pokemons. This includes happiness gained from leveling and walking, not from feeding pokemons with drugs ( @DarylDixon ) or berries. The growth rate is faster by about 10%.

 

 

5. Healing items

 

Not all of them though. Bitter items like Revival Herb or Energypowder or Energy Root will decrease happiness instead. I'm unsure which one raises how much and usually they aren't really worth the effort when we got...

 

6. BERRIES

 

Aye! PokeMMO has exclusively few berries for raising happiness.

 

I'll make a little list of berries for you guys. There's 11 of them in total for raising happiness. Each of them can also sharply lower the happiness if used on specific pokemon (for people who would like to use frustration). Favourite berry raises happiness by ~9,8%, hated lowers it by the same value.

That's about it I guess, this is work in progress though so when I'll get less lazy I might update and expand it and add some additional details.

Leveling the Pokemon up against high level hordes while holding a Soothe Bell is also a quick, easy, and free way to gain a lot of happiness if you're starting from lv1. It slows down the higher the Pokemon's level goes though, so a good idea to switch to another method after a few hordes.

[KaynineXL]

I believe berries also raise when they're neutral to the flavour, for example, Mago berries raise happiness on all natures except the ones that hate it(quiet, sassy, relaxed, brave).

 

This is important because it means magos can increase happiness for any pokemon that used return except brave but I cant think of any brave natures pokemon that use return(possibly mixed tauros/swellow).

 

In other words, stock up on them Magos.

You should add in the location of Daisy (Palette Town), also, leveling up a pokemon (battling) in the place where it was hatched will also raise its happiness at a much higher rate, I'm not sure the % of it though, but you might want to add that too.

I guess since its the 5 neutral natures missing - its likely that berries dont work on these.
Or maybe OP just left them out because they are irrelevant for most people.

All berries work on neutral natures.

[MightyBoxer]

all berries listed in guide will raise happiness if its neutral nature.

Seems you cant reduce happiness with berries if its neutral nature.You need bitter items to reduce happiness like revival herb.

How could a Soothe Bell do that when they only way to level them against hordes (or in any way quickly) is by having them hold Exp Share, esp from Lv 1 ?

 

Also I don't know if this was true back when this thread was made, but at least now you can change the Pokemon's ball any time, so putting them in a Luxury ball and then levelling is highly effective.

Start the battle with your lv1 mon then switch out immediately. You'll have to sit through some attack animations, but the bonus from the Soothe Bell can potentially save you some time due to how many levels it'll apply to. After the first battle though, it's probably faster to give it an Exp. Share as you won't be gaining 10+ levels at once anymore.

 

The post you're responding to is 5 years old, so I don't know if this is still as impactful as it was back then. I think we buffed the happiness gain from leveling at some point, but I might just be misremembering.

This has been work in progress for 5 years, I guess I might as well update it to match the current game mechanisms while I'm sitting at home and getting angry at customers not being able to find start menu
