Does Pokemon-Amie affect Return?
Feb. 8, 2014So as you know, Pokemon Bank has finally been released in the US. I traded my Braviary from White 2 to my Y version. Because happiness always resets to neutral when a Pokemon is traded, I knew that Return would be affected as well, however, I was playing some Amie and maxed out the hearts and I remembered hearing a rumor or stating that if you maxed out the hearts in Pokemon Amie then it would make Return have full power. I am wondering if it works because I tried it on a Zweilous and it barley did any damage, but then I used crush claw and it KO-ed it. I’m thinking Pokemon-Amie does not affect Return but if anyone knows for sure, that would be great. Thanks!

No, Pokemon-Amie does not change the base power of Return or Frustration in any way. Happiness and Affection are two different things - Affection is used to get advantages in battle, and Happiness effects the base power of Return and Frustration, can be used to evolve some Pokemon, etc.
