"Happiness" is an in-game mechanic that indicates how friendly the Pokémon is to the owner, from a scale of 0 to 255. You can check a Pokémon's Happiness in its summary, or when you hover over it when viewing your Fields.
Effects
Evolution
A few Pokémon require a certain amount of Happiness to evolve. There are currently 15 Pokémon that evolve from having high Happiness. In order to evolve, the Pokémon must have a Happiness of 220 or more.
Running Away
If a Pokémon's Happiness drops to 0, which can happen for a variety of reasons, the Pokémon will run away to the Shelter. If this happens, you will be sent a message by the SYSTEM.
Raising Happiness
Fields
Each Pokémon has a type which affects what fields the Pokémon likes. Pokémon like the fields that are super-effective against them, and their own type, while disliking types that are not very effective on them. For example, Cyndaquil, a Fire type, will like the Fire, Ground, Rock, and Water fields. Pokémon do not gain or lose Happiness in neutral-effectiveness fields, such as Electric for Cyndaquil. The Typeless field does not increase/decrease Happiness either. For dual-type Pokémon, both types affect the Pokémon's field preference. A Bug/Poison type will be neutral to a bug field.
Consumables
NOTE: This feature is not implemented yet.
Items such as the Cookie can be used to raise Happiness.
Trading
Trading can be used to restore a Pokémon with low happiness to 70. However, this can also lower a Pokémon's happiness if it is higher than 70.
Lowering Happiness
Fields
If a Pokémon is put into a field that is not very effective against their type, they will lose Happiness. For example, Umbreon, a Dark type, will dislike the Psychic and Ghost fields. Since Umbreon completely resists the Psychic type, its Happiness will decrease faster in a Psychic field than in a Ghost field. If a Pokémon dislikes the field it is in, you will be notified in your Farm News. That Pokémon's Summary Page will also have a message that denotes the Pokémon's unhappiness and recommend a new field type to transfer it to. If you are unsure of what your Pokémon will dislike: a Type Chart is currently available from your private Fields page, accessible by clicking the help button in the upper-left corner of the page and then the Type Chart button on the pop-up menu.
Gigaremo
Certain Gigaremos will lower a Pokémon's Happiness every time a specified action is performed.
Scour Missions
Sending a Pokémon out on a Scour Mission when its Tiredness stat is full will cause it to lose Happiness.
