Stats & Training
The stat line revolves around HP. Percentage recovery gets extra mileage here. Sp. Def backs it up, though Attack doesn't pull its weight. Worth 1 HP EV on a fast 800K XP curve to max out.
Usually it’s a well-behaved Pokémon, but if you take its round rock away, it will cry and fuss and throw a big old tantrum.
When it sees something round and white, Happiny puts it into the pouch on its stomach. It sometimes becomes overloaded and can’t move.
Happiny Weakness
Happiny is weak to Fighting. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost-type moves entirely. Happiny's special bulk (base 65 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
