In the Pokémon video games, all Pokémon have a base happiness! Increasing their happiness is how some Pokémon evolve. Base happiness (happiness when first caught) varies from Pokémon to Pokémon, but the overwhelming majority of them have a base happiness of 70 or 50 depending on the generation of the game. Some, especially dark or ghost types, tend to have a base happiness of 35, while some (like Chansey and Cleffa) have an extremely high base happiness. Beyond legendaries, the only Pokémon to have a base happiness of zero is Buneary.
