    Hey there folks, I'm training my Riolu to Lucario and I could use some happiness help. Obviously you can get the girl to give your Pokemon a massage but thats only once a day (at around 11:30pm now for me). So in the next day or so I'd like to get it evolved, it currently has one small heart. What are some of the other best ways to get happiness evolution besides massages, leveling up and held items?
     
    Giving it stat boosting items like Protein, Iron, Zinc etc help to raise happiness. But what I do is just make them hold a Soothe Bell and then just cycle around for about 25,000 steps. And then level it up a couple of times and it'll evolve. I've done this now four or five times.

    Incidentally, how do you see the heart thing?
     
    Or you can just give the Pokemon Experience Share, that's what I did. And by the time it was level 28, it evolved into Lucario (which I'm going to nickname Rukario, that name is so much cooler. XD).
     
    Oh and you can also use certain types of berries that will increase friendship but will decrease certain stats. i suggest u use this at the start so the pokemon wont actually lose stats.
