Happiny (Japanese: ピンプク Pinpuku) is a Normal-type baby Pokémon.

It evolves into Chansey when leveled up while holding an Oval Stone during the daytime, which evolves into Blissey when leveled up with high friendship.

Biology

Happiny is a small Pokémon that is shaped like an egg. It has a soft, smooth, light pink body. On top of its head is a curly outgrowth that resembles a ponytail, with a dark pink band around the base. The appearance of this curly growth of hair often annoys Happiny. It has three round bumps on its forehead. There is a pouch around the lower half of its body, which resembles a diaper. The pouch is red with a white stripe around the top.

Happiny's pouch is rubbery and flexible, enabling the Happiny to put things into it with ease. As it cannot produce Eggs yet, it makes up for it by carrying a white, Egg-shaped stone in its pouch to imitate Chansey and Blissey. It may give this stone to people whom it likes, and it has a habit of wandering around people's feet and causing them to stumble. Happiny is shown to be extremely strong in the anime, as one has been seen lifting heavy things above its head. Happiny is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

She evolved into a Chansey in The Brockster Is In!.
