[jackfrost]

I was looking at how to get an espeon and it said to get their happiness as high as it will go but how do i raise it? and how will i know when its as high as it can go?

You have to give it berrys, and use it in battle, don't store it in your PC, or that'll make it go down. Also holding items too. You can't really tell, it'll just happen, unless you take it to that lady, and she says it likes you, or attatched to you, something like that.

*repeat all the above* Just use it in battle, allow it to hold items, walk 256 steps with it in your party, daycare raises it too I'm pretty sure. The lady is in the town West of Malville, in one of the houses with a pikachu.

SIMPLE REALLY GIVE IT IRON, PROTEINS AND HP UP LIKE 10 OF EACH GIVE ITTO IT AND IT SHOULD BE VERY HAPPY HOW DO I KNOW ? in my emerald i had a baby eeve level 5 i gave it al those things and trained it to level 6 and it evoved into a espeon

Try using a soothe bell. Give it to eevee and it will gain twice as much happiness.

when you first catch a pokemon, its happiness starts at 70 out of 255.

first off, give it a soothe bell. that should cut in half the amount of time it takes for its happiness to max out. now, each of the following raises its happiness:
-using items on it, especially EV berries (21-26). i think the berries raise it by 10, but i'm not at all sure.
-giving it rare candies/vitamins
-walking 256 steps (so if you do a lot of breeding, just carry it with you next time)
-using it in battle

letting it faint, and stay KOed for long periods makes it dislike you, as do bitter medicines. and contrary to popular belief, putting it in the PC has no effect on happiness.
