Happiny (Japanese: ピンプク Pinpuku) is a Normal-type baby Pokémon.
She evolves into Chansey when leveled up while holding an Oval Stone during the day, which evolves into Blissey when leveled up with high friendship.
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.
Habitat
Happiny can be found in Unova's White Forest and have also been imported to the Trophy Garden in Sinnoh.

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.
- It is also the only Pokémon that evolves twice by leveling up under certain conditions, once by holding an item, and another time by leveling up while having high friendship.
- 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
Happiny is a combination of happiness and tiny. It may also derive from happenstance, referring to chance.
