Hi xMaskman,

 

As stated in the Happiness Guide, Love Island rocks require your Pokemon to have 220 Happiness or more. The reason why your Steelix refuses to follow orders is because it only has 162 happiness points.

 

As stated in the aforementioned guide, here are ways to gain happiness:

Methods affected by Soothe Bell:

♥ Walking. When you walk your Pokémon at the first spot—and only the first spot of your team order—your Pokémon will gain 1(2) happiness points each 216 steps. (This doesn't apply to land mounts, but does to water mounts).

♥ Winning fights. When you win a fight against a Pokémon, regardless of battle type, all participated Pokémon in your team will gain 1(2) happiness. (Only works for Pokémon still alive at the end of battle).

♥ Level ups. When your Pokémon get´s a level up, no matter how, it will gain 5(10) happiness.

 

Methods not affected bySoothe Bell:

♥ Vitamins. Protein, Iron, Calcium, Zinc, Carbos, and HP ups will boost the happiness by 2 stats.

PP ups, PP Max and Rare Candy will boost the happiness stat by 0, but you will get the level up happiness boost from using a Rare Candy.

♥ EV Reducing berries. EV Berries will boost your happiness stat by 2 as long as you have 1 or more EVs in the according EV Stat.

♥ Trading. When you trade a Pokémon it´s happiness will be reset to 70, therefore, it is only possible to gain happiness with this method when the traded Pokémon happiness is under 70.

Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with or clarify for you.

 

Kind Regards, Astraea.
