01

Generation IV identity and base stats

Happiny is Sinnoh #096 and National #440. Its Platinum typing is Normal. The stats below describe its standard Platinum form on the original Nintendo DS cartridge. Later Fairy typing, stat buffs and Hidden Abilities are excluded.

The existing Platinum sprite shows its standard Platinum form; gender, cloak or alternate forms can have different appearances.

Where to obtain it in Platinum

Check the location, method and conditions before travelling. A gift, trade, Honey Tree, daily replacement or stationary interaction is different from ordinary grass. Level ranges combine matching documented encounter slots.

These records are filtered to Platinum. Time, Poké Radar, swarm, GBA insertion, daily and story conditions remain separate. Postgame areas require their story access; no listed area is promised to be open on a fresh save.

Evolution family and Generation IV requirements

Friendship evolution uses the original threshold of 220. Held-item trades need a compatible second game and system. Platinum uses special rocks, Mt. Coronet magnetic evolutions, learned-move requirements and Beauty rather than later replacement methods.

Hidden Abilities did not exist in Generation IV. The table restores original ability slots where a species changed in later games; an ability’s modern behavior must not be assumed to match Platinum.

Every row uses the Platinum version group. Level 1 moves include starting and reminder moves; a later caught specimen need not already know every entry. Evolution timing affects which stage learns a move. Pastoria’s Move Reminder charges a Heart Scale.

Platinum TMs are single-use: teaching one consumes that copy. HMs are reusable and require the Move Deleter to be forgotten. Defog is HM05 and Rock Climb is HM08; these are the Generation IV field moves, with their own badge requirements.
