Quick Question

[iceboy13]

might sound noobish but how do you get riolu to evolve?

btw you get the egg on iron island right?(for riolu)?

[gymclasshero66]

yes, thats how u get riolu. You get it 2 evolve by leveling it at max happiness. Try using the happiness increasing berries (hondew, pomeg, etc.). Other methods include:
-soothe bell (walk around 4 about 1/2 hour)
-get a massage at veilstone (house at south west of town. HELPS to get riolu happy)
-battle w/ it. (not suggested)

[Shadow1345]

You get a Riolu Egg at Iron Mountain form Rily ( however you spell it )


And you must max out his happiness for it to evolve.

[blhuud]

You can also give it vitamins like carbos, hpup, protein etc.

[ngm]

Also, it can only evolve in the daytime.

[WER]

I thought it only evolved in the morning.

[Shur'tugal]

No. As long as its still daytime it can still evolve.

[Chris!]

Basically, if you just raise it and maybe give it soothe bell you'll be fine. It's ludicrously easy to max out happiness.

[jackel3diddy]

i got mine to evolve at lvl 10 but i guess that was because i had it for a long time before i trained itbut yeah now that i think about it it like me and it was in the day time

oops i meant it did like me

oops i meant it did like me

[Skittleman]

I am a huge fan of using the EV-lowering berries that takes away 10 EVs of a certain stat in exchange for a little happiness. If used before you start EV training, they can make a huge difference. I always make sure I have a large supply of each.

But if you don't have any of those yet, refer to the above suggestions.

And yes, anytime during the day it can evolve.

[Chris!]

20 days of bumpage! Woo!

Again, it doesn't take that long especially if you aren't ev training and are just playing for fun.

[Seerow]

Oddly enough, you can actually get something happier just by walking around with it in your squad. Happened with my Salamence when I was trying to teach it Draco Meteor.

[johnnyonthespot]

yea to build on what seerow said, every 256 steps gives it 1 "point" of happiness.
to get rioulu to evolve, you'll need 220 points
vitamins give it 2 points, soothe belle increases all point gains by 1, and a massage gives it 3, so just give it all the vitamins you can, get it massaged, give it the soothebell then ride your bike for a while

forgot to mention, they start with around 70 points of happiness so that takes a decent chunk out right there

[Chris!]

And you know this... how?

First, you need max happiness to evolve, which is probably 255 considering that's the max value of an unsigned 8-bit integer (that's why EVs max out at 255). If what you're saying is true, each 255 (not 6, DP messed with the step counter) will give you a "point" in happiness. I doubt the vitamins only give 2 points, berries take away 10 EVs and (I think) give 10 points of happy, so maybe there's a "10" system involved or something. Soothe Bell simply doubles every happiness gain; it doesn't add one.

The rest of this stuff I know less about than... a thing that knows little.

Basically, train it and it'll evolve.

[SuperSimon]

thers a certain spot in fuego ironworks i believe mabey the other one, any way there is a spot where if you tape down the "UP" button you will continuosly walk and by morning it will be mak happiness.

[johnnyonthespot]
