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.
It carries a round white rock in its belly pouch. If it gets along well with someone, it will sometimes give that person the rock.
It’s too small to lay eggs yet. As a surrogate, it searches out round white stones.
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.
