Answered Pokemon's Hapiness - Fight or suffice to be in the team ?

[Akira_Joe]

Hi,

 

I have read through several previous posts on the happiness of the pokemon where in short :

- Each battle randomized between 1 or 2 happiness points (hP)

- 73 hP for 1 heart

- 220 hP for 3 hearts

 

With that i have 2 questions :

1. If i went to explore with a charmander and squirtle in my team, winning a battle against a wild bulbasaur using only my charmander will grant a 1 or 2  hP to my charmander. Does the squirtle also gain the hP ?

2. Inversely, if i only have a charmander in my team, winning a battle against a trainer with 6 pokemons would increase the happiness of my charmander by

a. 1-2 hP

or

b. 6-12 hP (1-2 hP for each pokemon defeated)

 

Your feedback is much appreciated, Thanks ! ^^

A Pokémon has to participate in a battle to gain happiness points.
You gain 1-2 happiness points per battle. A trainer with 6 Pokémon counts as 1 battle, so you'd gain 1-2 happiness points from it.

Aha, understood. Hence why people recommend going for explore to increase the happiness faster. Much thanks ^^

That's an option. Fighting trainers or Gyms with 3-4 Pokémon may work slightly better, depending on the Pokémon you're using and how quickly you usually (are able to) press the different buttons within Pokémon Vortex.

No the Pokémon that did not battle will not gain happiness. I think if u use charmander against squirtle (and let charmander faint) and use bulbasaur to defeat it, both will gain hP. I’m not sure
