How do I make my Pokémon happier?
Everytime you perform one of the following actions below, your Pokémon will gain points towards its happiness. At higher happiness levels, these actions will give you less and less points, so you'll have to do them more often.

Method Points

Level it up +5 each lvl at 0-99 pts.
+3 each lvl at 100-199 pts.

Feed it Vitamins (ex. Calcium) +5 per item at 0-99 pts.
+3 per item at 100-199 pts.
+2 per item at 200+ pts.

Also, catching the Pokémon in a Luxury Ball will add 1 point to the amount of happiness it gains when you perform the above actions. Attaching the item Soothe Bell to it will also increase the amount of happiness by 1 point. Catching a Pokémon in a Luxury Ball AND attaching a Soothe Bell will increase the amount of happiness by 2 points for each action.
