I'm trying to max happiness using poke pelago (hot spring island) + date change glitch, but it's not working, mhon says "it seems to have perked up now that it’s seen your face, hmm"
When they stay over 24 hours in the spring their happiness goes down and you get that message.
I find it much easier to just get happiness berries from the tree on Route 10 and plant them on the berry isle.
like >>31767922 said, just use the ev-reducing berries.
>pick a stat you dont care about
>stuff them full of the corresponding ev berry

Date change glitch doesn't work with happiness. I believe the glitch makes them stay for way longer than 24h which reduces it to 0
how many berries do you need to max happiness?
>>31768525
23 with soothe bell for most pokemon (base 70 happiness)
hatched pokemon need slightly fewer and some like type:null need 28 or so

I think it's a handful less than 50 at most. The pelago glitch can get you that many easily
