I have a Mega Salamence ready for action in WiFi battles in ORAS, but before I use him I need to know how happiness works in "fixed" levels, where all participants are Lv. 50. At the moment, his set is:
Salamence@ Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate > Aerialate
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 HP, 4 Def
- Dragon Claw
- Return
- Dragon Dance
- Substitute
I need to know if, when Salamence is KOed in an online battle, his happiness will decrease, thus lowering the power of Return? If so, then I need to replace Substitute with Roost and Return with Double Edge. Please provide a source.
