Are you looking for the adorable Playhouse Pokemon Happiny in Legends Arceus? This Pokemon is difficult to locate but our guide will tell you exactly where to find it.

Happiny in Pokemon Legends Arceus has very low spawn rates. Similar to other Baby Pokemon, it has evaded many trainers’ Pokedex but don’t fret. You will have an easier time finding it compared to others like Bonsly or Togepi. Once you find it in the game, you’ll get a chance to complete your Hisuian Pokedex and battle the Mythical Pokemon, Arceus.

To help you out, we have created a list of places where you can find and catch Happiny in Pokemon Legends Arceus, as well as Happiny’s evolution chart and how to evolve it.

Where to find Happiny in Pokemon Legends Arceus

There are four locations on the map where players get to catch Happiny in Pokemon Legends Arceus:

  • Oreburrow Tunnel at the Obsidian Fieldlands.
  • Obsidian Falls at the Obsidian Fieldlands.
  • Hideaway Bay at the Cobalt Coastlands.
  • Avalanche Slopes at the Alabaster Icelands.

For the purpose of this guide, we’re going to focus on Hideaway Bay at the Cobalt Coastlands, as you’ll get access to this location first. We also found a Happiny here on multiple occasions.

We’ve marked Happiny’s spawn location on the Legends Arceus map below:

Happiny will sometimes spawn where the red circle is marked.

While this is one of the few places you can find a Happiny, they won’t always appear, as they’re very rare encounters. If you don’t find one, simply go back to Jubilife Village then return to Hideaway Bay again.

The easiest way to spot and catch a Happiny roaming around Legends Arceus is to look out for the much larger Blissey, as Happiny will never stray too far from it.

Once you catch this Pokemon, you might wonder if Happiny can evolve and how to do it.

How to evolve Happiny into Chansey in Pokemon Legends Arceus

Happiny will become Chansey when it evolves.

To evolve Happiny into Chansey, you’ll need to give it an Oval Stone to hold during the Daytime. There’s no minimum level for this evolution, so you can do it as soon as you have the required item.

You can get an Oval Stone by talking to Vessa after collecting 5 Wisps. Alternatively, there’s a small chance (around 10%) of Happiny or Chansey holding one when you catch them in the wild.

To evolve Chansey into Blissey, you’ll need to reach high Friendship with it. You can achieve this by winning battles with Chansey, leveling it up, and throwing it out to smash rocks or shake fruit trees.

Reaching high Friendship level can take quite a while, so you’ll need to have patience. There’s no easy way to check Friendship level, but you’ll know Chansey is ready to evolve as the Poke Ball next to it will flash.
