With a much more unique approach to gameplay and item management in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, the game has some very confusing twists in store for long-time franchise fans. The new systems can be pretty confusing, so here’s some help if you need it. Like previous games, there’s new things to tackle as well. Players have to be quick with learning about things like new move Styles, Pokéball crafting and more.
The evolution system is also much different compared to previous games. Some monsters only evolve manually when given the right conditions. Others need a certain item to be thrown into the mix. In order to actually perform the various Evolutions in Pokémon Legends Arceus, you’ll need the necessary item, and that can be kind of hard. But unlike other Evolution items, this one is a bit unique.
Chansey is an old healer standby from Generation 1. The incredible resiliency of the monster is only outmatched by its ability to heal and keep combos rolling. Although the lack of a competitive scene for this game hurts the utility of such Pokémon, there are still plenty who just want to wrap up the dex.
How to Evolve Happiny in Pokémon Legends Arceus
Happiny will evolve into Chansey in Pokémon Legends Arceus, assuming you fulfill the conditions. Keep reading to get your head around this advanced concept.
Of course, the first thing you need to do is get a Happiny. These, like the rest of the roster, are locked to a certain zone in terms of spawning. You can also find Happiny in Alabaster Icelands, Crimson Mirelands, and Cobalt Coastlands. Pokémon Legends Arceus gives you many different balls to use to capture the Happiny, but you can use the one that works for you. Of course, you need to make the more advanced balls, but that’s not too hard. Refer to the guide linked above for more help on that.
Now that you have your Happiny, it’s time to get it into the incredibly powerful Chansey in Pokémon Legends Arceus. And like the previous games, we’re back to using evolution items for various roster entries. Given the more limited roster, there aren’t as many to manage as their were in previous Generations. You can evolve a Happiny into a Chansey in Pokemon Legends Arceus using an Oval Stone. There are a few methods you can use to get one of these.
You can get this one of two ways: Either by catching a Happiny or a Chansey, or by defeating them in battle. When you do either of these two things, you can get a small chance to get an Oval Stone as a drop.
