How to Make Your Pokemon Like You in Pokemon HeartGold

From the second generation of Pokémon game to the most recent, happiness has been used to measure your Pokémon's affection for you. Increasing your Pokémon's happiness comes with a wide range of benefits -- some characters may give you items for being such a good trainer and some Pokémon will only evolve into certain forms if they are extremely happy when they reach a new level. There are a number of ways to increase happiness in "Pokémon HeartGold."

Instructions

- 1
  Take your Pokémon for a walk. Walking 256 steps with your Pokémon increases his happiness rating.
- 2
  Get your Pokémon's hair cut by the haircut brothers, who sometimes wander the Goldenrod Tunnel.
- 3
  Visit Daisy Oak in Pallet Town between the hours of 3 pm and 4 pm. She will offer to groom your Pokémon.
- 4
  Level your Pokémon up using either an item or by having him fight other creatures. Every additional level results in a happiness boost.
- 5
  Feed your Pokémon EV berries for a massive happiness increase. Kelpsy, Tamato, Qualot, Hondew, Grepa, and Pomeg berries are found scattered around the world of "HeartGold."
