Happiness is a number between 0 and 255 that gauges how friendly a Pokémon is towards its trainer.

Every Pokémon starts with a base happiness, which will change based on certain events:

Keeping the Pokémon outside of its Poké Ball will cause it to gain happiness every 40 seconds.
Leveling up the Pokémon will raise happiness.
Letting the Pokémon faint will lower happiness.
Using a Pomeg Berry, Kelpsy Berry, Qualot Berry, Hondew Berry, Grepa Berry, or Tamato Berry on a Pokémon will raise happiness.
Using an HP Up, Protein, Iron, Calcium, Zinc, or Carbos on a Pokémon will raise happiness.
Trading the Pokémon will reset its happiness to 70.
Capturing a Pokémon in a Friend Ball will set its initial happiness to 200 rather than 0.
Capturing a Pokémon in a Luxury Ball will increase the happiness gained by leveling up.
Letting the Pokémon hold a Soothe Bell will cause events that raise happiness to increase happiness by a larger amount.

Happiness increases/decreases

The amount of happiness gained/lost by the above events changes based on the amount of happiness the Pokémon currently has. All happiness gains are increased by 50% (rounded down) with a Soothe Bell
