-When you get a Pokémon on a trade or catch one from the wild, its happiness is low. I see this more having to do with your Pokémon not knowing you and thus not feeling attached to you. In a similar note, when you hatch a Pokémon, its happiness is higher, which can be interpreted as babies feeling attached to their mother or whatever they first see after being born, in this case, you. | -When you get a Pokémon on a trade or catch one from the wild, its happiness is low.

-On a similar note, all of the Soothe Bell bag descriptions say it boosts the Pokémon's friendship, not happiness: "A held item that calms spirits and fosters '''friendship'''." from RSE, "An item to be held by a Pokémon. A bell with a comforting chime that makes the holder calm and '''friendly'''." from FRLG and "An item to be held by a Pokémon. It is a bell with a comforting chime that calms the holder and makes it '''friendly'''." from GenIV. | -On a similar note, all of the Soothe Bell bag descriptions say it boosts the Pokémon's friendship, not happiness: "A held item that calms spirits and fosters '''friendship'''." from RSE, "An item to be held by a Pokémon.
