Hey y'all. I recently bought a level 100 Togepi through auction from someone, however, wanted to evolve to Togetic. I've read through a load of forum posts about killing the togepi, logging out for roughly 20 seconds (I've tried logging out for longer), relogging and then raising happiness back to 255, whilst trying to use a Mysterious Candy afterwards. I've even tried resetting the Pokemons moves back in case this was effecting it. At this point I'm at a loss as I've spent a good 3-4 hours doing this continuously hoping it would trigger but it hasn't. If there's anyone who is able to help assist with this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
