Increased Happiness?
For a while now, I've been breeding Eevees in my Pearl version, hoping for a Shiny and other Eevees with good IVs. To check them in detail, I Rare Candy them up to Lvl 33 so I get a clear view. However, one thing got me confused a while ago...
I was feeding one of the Eevees Rare Candies, freshly born at Lvl 1, completely untouched and at Lvl 22 it wanted to evolve into Espeon, something that never happened with the others, who never wanted to evolve even upon reaching Lvl 33. Is this some sort of happiness bug or is there a chance that babies are born with above average happiness? I've bred a lot and never saw this happen, does anyone know what it could be? |
Wow, that's quite strange acutally, I've never heard of that happening before. I'll look into it.
EDIT: According to serebii, there is no independant value affecting happiness. The only think I can think of is that you were rasining them in the evening or morning rather than full day or night. |
Yeah, it's day over here, that is not the point, however. All items do give some sort of happiness as a Pokémon takes them, but this was the ONLY one that evolved with Rare Candies and he was born and raised in the same conditions as everyone else, so I don't know...
Thanks, anyways. :) |
Just check that it's not morning/evening on your ds, the differences can be subtle. This has intrigued me lol
|
Well, I'm checking right now... It's 4:20 PM my time and it's day in the game. :P
I'm going to have to test it at night and see if it will try to evolve into an Umbreon, however. I kept the Eevee stashed away for the sake of testing. ^^ Even so, I do not see how the time of the day would influence happiness itself. :P |
Yeah, every item that you give a Pokémon affects his or her happiness, Eevee evolves to Espeon or Umbreon based on happiness at the certain time of day that's needed..
You simply got his/her happiness to the needed level and it decided that it was time to evolve for you. Had you ever stored it in a box, or has it been with you since hatching?? Has it ever been knocked out in a battle?? Those two things are big factors too.. but I'm betting it was the extreme of giving him/her the items over and over. You increased his happiness to that point, it tried to evolve. |

So does your Eevee continue to want to evolve still?
|
Hehe, I actually forgot to check it yesterday, since today I had school...Oops. :P I need to see it tonight and check if it's wanting to evolve at any time or if it was a simple bug. I'm betting more towards a bug than some occasional thing, though. :P
In fact, I'll try it again right now with the same amount of Rare Candies and see if anything different happens (or doesn't happen)... ...Test confirms it gained SOME happiness from being in the box since yesterday, since it is trying to evolve at Lvl 21 instead of 22. That however proves it HAD to have a very high happiness from the start, since I'm doing this straight from Level 1 with absolutely no other items other than Rare Candies. I'm gonna feed it another one to Lvl 22 and see if it still wants to evolve... Yeah, it does. I have an idea, though...I'll take him to that person that shows a Pokémon's happiness and see what he says. It's still very strange that the Eevee is evolving this soon with no more acquired happiness than the other Eevees. "This adventure with Runastr is lots of fun. EEVEE gets to go places where I can't go myself. I get to battle Pokémon I've never ever seen before. I'm gonna get stronger and stronger for Runastr!" That sounds like it's got a good amount of happiness and since I'm doing this at level 1... Any ideas, anyone? ~*Runasutaru*~ |
