Just saying/pointing this out.
In one of my game files (which I deleted due to unhappiness of that team), I realized that everytime I feed it a Common Candy, the Happiness sorta dropped.
Coz I kept going on and on and walking and grinding and resetting with Common Candies and I wouldn't evolve. Then when I checked, I realized that the happiness was low (idk if I didn't do anything or sth). I suspected a candy glitch, and sure enough, everytime after I used a candy, it seemed to drop it's friendship.
IDK if I'm wrong though, since that was about 2 Episodes ago. I may try again for an Azurill......but idk, I'm too lazy to breed that Growlithe.
Can someone tell me if I'm wrong? I forgot exact details, and I'm sorry about the vagueness coz it was quite long ago. But I recall correctly that I did feed it Common Candies, and no other candies.
Incidentally on the topic of Candies, how to EVs work with Common Candies? Do they get deleted, or....?
