Brock's Happiny (Japanese: タケシのピンプク Takeshi's Pinpuku) is a Pokémon that Brock hatched from a egg in One Big Happiny Family!. She is the second baby Pokémon Brock has caught, after Bonsly, and the second egg he took care of after 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.
History
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. She began crying for a stone to hold as a fake egg, and Brock polished one for her, but Team Rocket snatched her away before he could give it 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 caught her in his Poké Ball.
Like most baby Pokémon, she became very attached to her 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 Team Rocket's Pokémon after Brock had been hurt.
Happiny has extraordinary strength for a baby Pokémon. She flung Jessie's Seviper by the tail and launched Brock several meters into the air. She is very playful and has a lot of energy. Happiny also carried many cement blocks in DP057 and threw a big boulder in A Maze-ing Race! and DP073.
