Happiny (Japanese: ピンプク Pinpuku) is a Template:Type2 baby Pokémon.

She evolves into Chansey when leveled up while holding an Oval Stone during the day, who evolves into Blissey when leveled up with high happiness.

Biology

Physiology

Happiny is a small Pokémon that is shaped like an egg. A Happiny has a soft, smooth light pink body. At the top of her head is a curly pigtail-like outgrowth that looks like hair, but has the same color and texture as her body. She has three round bumps on her forehead. Unlike her evolved forms, whose pouches are small and on their stomachs, her pouch surrounds the lower half of her body. In fact, it is the lower half of her body. The pouch resembles a diaper. It is red with a white stripe around its top. The pouch is rubbery and flexible, enabling the Happiny to put things into it with ease. Happiny are still babies and they cannot produce eggs yet. To make up for this, a Happiny will carry a white egg-shaped stone in her pouch to imitate Chansey and Blissey. However, if a Happiny carries an Oval Stone, she will be capable of evolving and then will be able to lay eggs of her own.

Gender differences

Happiny is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

Special abilities

In the anime, Happiny are shown to be extremely strong. Brock's has been seen lifting very heavy things above her head. Additionally, Happiny's field move in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, Crush, may also link to this.

Behavior

Happiny has a fascination for anything white and round. As such, she has the aforementioned habit of carrying a smooth white stone in her pouch to imitate her evolved forms. She may cry if she doesn't have a stone to hold. This usually occurs after birth, because all Happiny are born without stones in their pouches. Happiny are also bothered by their curly hair.

Major appearances

Brock's Happiny

Brock's egg hatched into a Happiny in One Big Happiny Family!. Unusually, in contrast to Happiny's extremely low Attack stat in the games, it has amazing strength and can run with, pummel, and carry many heavy items and Pokémon for its size, such as having the ability to fling her trainer into the air with ease and carrying Ash's Grotle around in Jumping Rocket Ship!. It evolved into a Chansey in The Brockster Is In!.

Trivia

  • If the Oval Stone is counted as an evolutionary stone, then Happiny is the only Pokémon that evolves with a stone that can evolve further.
  • Happiny, along with Chansey, has the lowest base stat for both Attack and Defense in the games.
  • Happiny is the fifth Pokémon to like round things; the first four being Meowth, Quagsire, Spoink, and Sealeo.
  • Happiny, and her evolution family, Chansey and Blissey, have the most in-game items associated with them (with the exception of Arceus). These include: Lucky Punch, Lucky Egg, Luck Incense, and the Oval Stone.
  • Happiny and the other members of her evolution family share the same abilities as both forms of Shaymin.
  • Happiny bears a resemblance to a hoax Pokémon that was created on April Fool's Day 2005.

Origin

Happiny shares a few characteristics with infants, such as her soft skin and diaper-like pouch.

Name origin

Pinpuku may be derived from the Japanese word ピンク pinku, meaning pink, the color that this Pokémon is, and 福 fuku, good fortune. Happiny is derived from the words happiness and tiny. It may also come from "happenstance", referring to chance.
