Trying to level Pokemon I just want to get rid of after evolving them, however there is one problem..
No matter how many hearts it has, Woobat simply refuses to evolve.
What am I doing wrong here?
I know what I am doing wrong now.. Pokemon happiness is not affected via Pokemon Amie.
Really, I should have known that..
Easiest happiness solutions in the game currently are;
- minimal effort version: Befriending O-Power, ride around on bike with 6 Pokémon who evolve via happiness
- more effort version: Befriending O-Power, stuff Pokémon full of the stat-reducing berries (as they increase happiness too, and an untrained Pokémon will have no EVs to remove anyway)
- even more effort version: drag them through a Rotation Battle at Restaurant Le Wow as the second and third party members, they will gain levels and battle usage which both add to happiness
Unfortunately there's no Happiness checker app in the game this time so you'll either have to guess when they're happy enough or take them to the Happiness checker, who is
probably definitely in the Pokémon Fan Club (in Laverre City).
On the subject of pain-in-the-rear evolutions, I've been considering Malamar as my next Pokémon to send out over WT (just because I wanted to nickname a bunch of them Cthulhu and send them out), but it is quite an interesting one to evolve. Particularly since I don't know exactly
when to hold the 3ds upside-down, so I ended up doing half of the Le Wow Rotation Battles upside down. It's weird seeing Earthquake the wrong way up, seriously.
