5th Gen What is the best/fastest way to get a pokemon to max. happiness.

[Lozz]

I know there are a heap of different ways in B/W to get a pokemon to max. happiness (battling/walking etc). And it's important in order to evolve pokemon like Riolu.

But I was wondering if anyone knew which was the fastest/most effective way.
Like - would it be faster to just give my Riolu exp. share and go and do the league - or should I make it hold lucky egg and just do heaps of battles?

Would love to hear about peoples experiences.

This should explain how much each action changes a pokémon's happiness.

The best way, in my opinion, is to give said pokémon a Soothe Bell, then run across either one of the bridges where wings are dropped. Each 256 steps will give 1 point, and using wings will give a minimum of 3 after the boost from Soothe Bell.

Thanks a lot! I'm going to go try that now.

Well since you've got an answer and it seemed like a question rather than a discussion in the first place, time to lock this. However if you wish to discuss how people get Pokemon to max happiness in general (and even if they DO care about getting Pokemon to max happiness), then that would go in Pokemon Gaming Central, rather than B/W since it'd limit people to only discuss one generation, etc.

Either way, use the Quick Questions sticky at the top of this section next time. :3
