Brock's Happiny (Japanese: タケシのピンプク Takeshi's Pinpuku) is a Pokémon that Brock hatched from an 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
Brock won Happiny's egg in a Pokémon cosplay contest in All Dressed Up with Somewhere to Go by entering his Croagunk dressed up as a Politoed. He was overjoyed to take care of the egg, as he showed in the next episode when he rubbed his cheek against it affectionately.
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. While Brock was feeding her, she began crying for a stone to hold as a fake egg, and Brock shaped 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 Bibarel Gnaws Best! and threw a big boulder in A Maze-ing Race!, DP073, and DP087, as well as help save Team Rocket, Dawn, and their Pokémon from falling in Journey to the Unown!. She also saved Brock and Autumn from falling off a bridge by chucking them high in the air to the other side of the bridge in Tanks for the Memories!
Brock seems to groom Happiny often, as seen in DP038 and DP062.
