View source for Happiness


The <b>Happiness</b> stat, also interchangeably referred to as '''Friendship''', metricizes a Pokémon's contentment and rapport with their trainer. It is quantified between 0 and 255, and it is initialized at 70 when originatively obtained or traded for. 

The Happiness stat does not affect any combat stat´s of a Pokémon and is only needed as a requirement for certain Pokémon evolutions, quests and moves used outside of battle.

==The use of Happiness==
===Pokémon evolutions===

Certain Pokémon will only evolve with the help of happiness, but a Pokémon evolution does not necessarily require the happiness stat as single condition to trigger the evolution. The maximal amount of Happiness points accumulable, 255, is the threshold for all evolutions in PRO.

==Visualizing Happiness==

There are two options to visualize a Pokémon´s happiness ingame. First option is to take a look at the happiness bar next to the Pokémon´s Health bar appearing on your Pokémon´s Info Card. A disadvantage of this method is that no number is shown up and you have to estimate the exact number. Second method is to use the [[In-Game_Commands|Ingame Command]] <i>/happy party-slot number</i> which will visualize the exact ammount of happiness into the chat.
