How to evolve Happiny guide

To evolve Happiny into its adored evolved form, specific conditions must be met. This guide outlines the process for obtaining both Chansey and Blissey, including critical steps for evolving and capturing these Pokémon.

Happiny Encounter Locations

Capturing Happiny requires visiting designated areas across various games:

Scarlet and Violet – West Province Area One, South Province Areas One, Two, Three, Five
Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl – Hearthome City egg, Trophy Garden
Legends: Arceus – Obsidian Falls, Hideaway Bay, Avalanche Slopes, outbreak zones
Sword/Shield (DLC) – Fields of Honor, Training Lowlands, Soothing Wetlands, Coastal biomes

Evolving Happiny into Chansey

Daytime level-up with an Oval Stone triggers evolution to Chansey in most games. Legends: Arceus simplifies this by requiring only the stone.

Oval Stone Acquisition

Locate this key item in these game-specific zones:

Scarlet/Violet – Alfornada Cavern, Casseroya Lake, wild encounters
Legends: Arceus – Jubilife Trading Post, Ginter’s shop
Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl – Grand Underground, held items
Sword/Shield – Soothing Wetlands, Cram-O-Matic

Modern titles like Scarlet/Violet remove the Luck Incense requirement for breeding – wild Chansey/Bllissey now produce Happiny eggs naturally. This evolutionary line remains exclusively female.

Pokémon Go Evolution Mechanics

Happiny → Chansey: Walk 15km as buddy + 25 candies
Chansey → Blissey: 50 additional candies

Advancing to Blissey

Evolve Chansey through maximum friendship achieved via battles, activities, or Soothing Bell usage. Some games require specific friendship values (160-220). Pre-existing friendship from Happiny stage may expedite evolution.
