'''Brock's Happiny''' (Japanese: '''タケシのピンプク''' ''Takeshi's Pinpuku'') is a [[Pokémon]] that [[Brock]] hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}} in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]''. She is the second [[baby Pokémon]] Brock has {{pkmn2|caught}}, after {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}}, and the second egg he took care of after {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}. She is the overall tenth Pokémon Brock has ever caught. Her Japanese voice actress is 伊東みやこ ''[[Miyako Itō]]'' and her English voice actress is [[Emily Jenness]].
'''Brock's Blissey''' (Japanese: '''タケシのハピナス''' ''Takeshi's Happinas'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Brock}} {{pkmn2|caught|obtained}} in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], and his tenth overall.

==History==
[[File:Happiny egg.PNG|Happiny's {{pkmn|egg}}|thumb|left]]
===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
Brock won Happiny's {{pkmn|egg}} in a Pokémon cosplay contest in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up with Somewhere to Go!]]'' by entering his {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} dressed up as a {{p|Politoed}}. He was overjoyed to take care of the egg, as he showed in [[DP034|the next episode]] when he rubbed his cheek against it affectionately.
[[File:Happiny no stone.png|thumb|left|200px|Happiny without her [[Oval Stone]]]]
In ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', Brock received Happiny's {{pkmn|Egg}} as a prize for winning the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]], which he entered with his {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} {{pkmn|cosplay|dressed up}} as a {{p|Politoed}}. He was overjoyed to take care of the Egg, as shown in [[DP034|the next episode]] when he rubbed his cheek against it affectionately.


In ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'', while traveling on [[Route 206|Cycling Road]], the egg began to glow. After taking it to a [[Pokémon Center]] and receiving assistance from [[Nurse Joy]], the egg hatched into Happiny. Soon after birth, she began crying for a stone to hold as a fake egg. Brock found a white stone and polished it into an egg-like shape for her. [[Team Rocket]] snatched Happiny away before he could give the stone to her. Eventually Happiny was returned to Brock and received her "egg." Immediately after, she offered it back to Brock as a sign of friendship. He gave it back to her and then captured her in a [[Poké Ball]].
In ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'', while traveling on [[Sinnoh Route 206|Cycling Road]], the Egg began to glow. After taking it to a [[Pokémon Center]] and receiving assistance from [[Nurse Joy]], the Egg hatched into Happiny. Soon after birth, she began crying for a stone to hold as a fake Egg. Brock found a white stone and polished it into an [[Oval Stone]] for her. {{TRT}} snatched Happiny away before he could give the stone to her. Eventually, Happiny was returned to Brock and received her "Egg". Immediately after, she returned it to Brock as a sign of [[friendship]]. He gave it back to her and then {{pkmn2|caught}} her in a {{i|Poké Ball}}.


Like most baby Pokémon, she became very attached to her {{pkmn|Trainer}} very quickly. She was upset when taken out of Brock's care, and refused to cooperate with Team Rocket completely. Unlike Bonsly, however, she did not cry and fuss; she actually fought back against {{cat|Team Rocket's Pokémon}} after Brock had been hurt. Happiny has a cheerful personality, and is playful and energetic. Rather than walking, she is usually held in Brock's arms, much like [[Misty]] did with her her Togepi. She also is sometimes seen sleeping or playing with {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}. Sometimes she is seen riding on {{AP|Pikachu}}'s back, as seen in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'' and ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''.
In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', Happiny learned how to use Secret Power to save {{OBP|Autumn|DP062}} and {{p|Miltank|Ilta}} from a group of Beedrill. She also used Secret Power later in the episode to put Team Rocket to sleep so that Brock and Autumn could escape.


[[File:Happiny Strong.jpg|220px|Happiny's strength|left|thumb]]
Brock was going to use Happiny in her first battle against [[Marilyn]]'s {{p|Shellder}} in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]''. However, right before the battle started, Team Rocket interrupted and tried to steal Marilyn's other Pokémon. Before they could succeed, Happiny was able to send them flying with her powerful Pound attack.
Happiny has extraordinary strength for a baby Pokémon. She's knocked {{MTR}}, {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} out of her way and flung [[Jessie's Seviper]] by the tail so she could get back to her trainer. She also launched Brock several meters into the air. She is very playful and has a lot of energy. Happiny carried many cement blocks in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'' and threw a big boulder in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'', ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'', and ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here! ]]''. In ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'', she happily dumped everything out of Brock's backpack. In ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]'', she saved {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, Pikachu, and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} from falling off a steamboat by happily tossing them back on board, help save Team Rocket, Dawn, and their Pokémon from falling in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', and saved Brock and [[Autumn]] from falling off a bridge by chucking them high in the air to the other side of the bridge in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''. She  ran around with a {{p|Quagsire}} in her hand in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.  
[[File:Brock Happiny caring for sick.png|thumb|250px|Happiny caring for a sick Pokémon]]
In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', Happiny came out to battle against a mischievous {{p|Togepi}}, as she was immune to her {{m|Attract}} due to both of them being female. Using Pound, she snapped the others out of their [[infatuation]] and kept the Togepi busy until she got tired and left.


Similar to this scenario, she was also seen walking in [[Canalave City]] whilst lifting [[Ash's Grotle]] with one arm in ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship]]'' who was comically tired due to its new form. She was briefly shown holding a large globe at the end of ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. She was also able to stop {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine|Mamoswine}} from rampaging in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'' with help of her strength. In ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'', she tried to pull off a tightly manhole cover (but failed), and when {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} tossed Dawn up into the air, Happiny caught her in time. However though, in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]'', she tried lifting a massive boulder, but collapsed under the weight and was knocked out.
In ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', Happiny was used in her first battle by Brock, where she participated in a training round against [[Narissa]]'s {{p|Ditto}} One and Ditto Two. Both Ditto {{m|Transform|Transformed}} into Happiny and used Pound, pushing Happiny back. She retaliated with a Pound of her own, which sent the Transform Pokémon flying into the nearby forest. The battle was called off.
 
In ''[[DP190|The Brockster Is In!]]'', a group of {{p|Tentacruel}} attacked the boat that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were taking back to [[Twinleaf Town]]. Their {{m|Poison Sting}} attack caused many of the baby Pokémon onboard to become poisoned. Despite all that Brock and the others were doing to help, the Pokémon were not getting any better. After seeing this, Happiny [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Chansey}} to help the baby Pokémon. She was able to heal {{p|Pichu}} and the other baby Pokémon of the {{status|poison}} with her newly learned {{m|Soft-Boiled}}.
 
===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
Chansey reappeared in ''[[JNS02|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 2)]]'', where she was revealed to have evolved into Blissey. Alongside {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, she assists Brock in his duties as a Doctor.
 
In ''[[JNS03|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 3)]]'', Blissey teamed up with {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} and Croagunk to fight against the [[Team Galactic]] {{tc|Commander}}s, delivering heavy blows on [[Mars's Purugly]]. When Brock headed off to rejoin Ash and the rest of the group, he left Blissey and Croagunk to fight the Commanders alongside {{an|Cynthia}}.
 
In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Blissey watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}}.

Any other time, she successfully brought out her special and uncommon power.

Brock's Blissey (Japanese: タケシのハピナス Takeshi's Happinas) was the second Pokémon that Brock obtained in the Sinnoh region, and his tenth overall.

History

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

Happiny without her Oval Stone

In All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!, Brock received Happiny's Egg as a prize for winning the Pokémon Dress-Up Contest, which he entered with his Croagunk dressed up as a Politoed. He was overjoyed to take care of the Egg, as shown in the next episode when he rubbed his cheek against it affectionately.

In One Big Happiny Family!, while traveling on Cycling Road, the Egg began to glow. After taking it to a Pokémon Center and receiving assistance from Nurse Joy, the Egg hatched into Happiny. Soon after birth, she began crying for a stone to hold as a fake Egg. Brock found a white stone and polished it into an Oval Stone for her. Team Rocket snatched Happiny away before he could give the stone to her. Eventually, Happiny was returned to Brock and received her "Egg". Immediately after, she returned it to Brock as a sign of friendship. He gave it back to her and then caught her in a Poké Ball.

In Tanks for the Memories!, Happiny learned how to use Secret Power to save Autumn and Ilta from a group of Beedrill. She also used Secret Power later in the episode to put Team Rocket to sleep so that Brock and Autumn could escape.

Brock was going to use Happiny in her first battle against Marilyn's Shellder in Battling a Cute Drama!. However, right before the battle started, Team Rocket interrupted and tried to steal Marilyn's other Pokémon. Before they could succeed, Happiny was able to send them flying with her powerful Pound attack.

Happiny caring for a sick Pokémon

In Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!, Happiny came out to battle against a mischievous Togepi, as she was immune to her Attract due to both of them being female. Using Pound, she snapped the others out of their infatuation and kept the Togepi busy until she got tired and left.

In Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!, Happiny was used in her first battle by Brock, where she participated in a training round against Narissa's Ditto One and Ditto Two. Both Ditto Transformed into Happiny and used Pound, pushing Happiny back. She retaliated with a Pound of her own, which sent the Transform Pokémon flying into the nearby forest. The battle was called off.

In The Brockster Is In!, a group of Tentacruel attacked the boat that Ash and his friends were taking back to Twinleaf Town. Their Poison Sting attack caused many of the baby Pokémon onboard to become poisoned. Despite all that Brock and the others were doing to help, the Pokémon were not getting any better. After seeing this, Happiny evolved into Chansey to help the baby Pokémon. She was able to heal Pichu and the other baby Pokémon of the poison with her newly learned Soft-Boiled.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Chansey reappeared in The Arceus Chronicles (Part 2), where she was revealed to have evolved into Blissey. Alongside Croagunk, she assists Brock in his duties as a Doctor.

In The Arceus Chronicles (Part 3), Blissey teamed up with Steelix and Croagunk to fight against the Team Galactic Commanders, delivering heavy blows on Mars's Purugly. When Brock headed off to rejoin Ash and the rest of the group, he left Blissey and Croagunk to fight the Commanders alongside Cynthia.

In Partners in Time!, Blissey watched Ash's Masters Eight Tournament match against Leon.

Personality and characteristics

Happiny using her strength

Like most baby Pokémon, Happiny became very attached to her Trainer very quickly. She would become upset whenever she was taken out of Brock's care and refused to cooperate with Team Rocket completely. Unlike Bonsly, however, she did not cry or fuss; she actually fought back against Team Rocket's Pokémon after Brock had been hurt.

Happiny has a cheerful personality and is playful and energetic. Rather than walking, she was usually held in Brock's arms, much like Misty did with her Togepi. She was occasionally seen sleeping or playing with Sudowoodo. Sometimes, she was seen riding on Pikachu's back, as seen in A Maze-ing Race! and A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!.

Blissey and Brock

Happiny had extraordinary strength for a baby Pokémon. Examples of this appeared in Bibarel Gnaws Best!, where she carried many heavy boulders, and in A Maze-ing Race! and Crossing Paths, where she lifted and threw large boulders. She saved Team Rocket, Dawn, and their Pokémon from falling in Journey to the Unown!, and saved Brock and Autumn from falling off a bridge by hurling them high through the air to the other side of it in Tanks for the Memories!. She was also seen walking in Canalave City while lifting Ash's Grotle—who was tired due to its new large size after evolving—with one arm in Jumping Rocket Ship!. She was also able to stop Dawn's Piloswine from rampaging in A Breed Stampede! with her strength. Later, in Leading a Stray!, when Mamoswine tossed Dawn up into the air, Happiny caught her just in time. It is unknown if she has retained her unusual strength following her evolutions, but she was shown to be a competent conventional battler as a Blissey.

The only times where her strength was not enough were in Leading a Stray!, where she failed to pull off a tight manhole cover, in The Psyduck Stops Here!, where she tried to lift a massive boulder but collapsed under the weight, and in Regaining the Home Advantage!, where she attempted to stop a rampaging Metagross but was flung backward. Any other time, she successfully brought out her special and uncommon power.
