When exactly is Eevee happy enough to evolve, and where can I get some of the stones needed?
Where can I find Daisy Oak, and when do I know when Eevee is happy enough?
you can get the stones from
1. the pokeathlon (before the national dex there's a different stone each day of the week; you need to go there on a certain day to get a certain stone. after the national dex there's more stones each day)
2. winning first place in the bug-catching contest. before the national dex you can only get a sun stone as a prize (won't really help your eevee...) but if you've got the national dex then any of the stones can be your prize.
3. certain people will give you their phone number and give you a stone every now and then.
>> one of them is between goldenrod and ilex forest in that patch in the long grass. beat her and she'll give you her phone number and she'll give you I think it's a leaf stone if she ever calls you (rarely).
>> another is left of ekruteak city, like right next to the top of the milktank farm. I think this one's a boy trainer and the same thing applies as above. except he gives you a different stone. I think maybe a thunderstone.
>> those are the two I can think of off the top of my head.
conclusion:
if you want an evolutionary stone, you're best off buying them as pokeathlon prizes.
for happiness, yeah you can do haircuts and such but I think that's too much of a bother as you can only do it once per day, etc. what I do is I farm an ev reducing berry (ie the kelpsy berry). I plant it in the berry planter and plant the berries that come off it and everything until I have like 50 or so berries (remember to water!), and then I get the pokemon that needs happiness to evolve and feed it berries until it won't take no more. when it won't take no more that's when I know the happiness is maxed. before this the pokemon won't evolve, so I don't need to go checking whether or not it's happy enough by talking to someone; just feed it untill it won't eat no more
my advice: do both. while you're mass producing your berries you can also do the haircuts and such. then it'll take less berries to max out the happiness. and this will be quicker than if you do the haircuts or the berries alone. now you're doing both!
