Pokemon Sun/Moon – high-five Pokemon in Pokemon Refresh, shortcut for increasing happiness
Posted on November 21, 2016 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News
Did you know that you can high-five Pokemon in Pokemon Sun/Moon? If you’re in Pokemon Refresh and tap the screen above one of your party members, the cute move will be triggered.
Apparently not all Pokemon will be up for a high-five. Polygon writes that creatures that it works best with creatures that more closely resemble animals. Litten, Growlithe, Meowth and other bi- and quadripedal Pokemon will be fine with sharing a high-five.

In other news, Pokemon players have found a shortcut to increasing happiness. It’ll come in handy for the likes of Pichu, Munchlax, and Eevee who need a high level of affection before they evolve into Pikachu, Snorlax, Espeon or Umbreon, respectively.
Here’s how it works:
1. Find two TMs that your Pokemon can learn (for example I used Echoed Voice and Protect)
2. Replace one of their moves with one TM
3. Replace the move taught with one TM with the other TM
4. Repeat step 3 for 5 – 10 minutes
5. Level up your Pokemon
