Petting pokémon while in battle?

Mar. 22, 2015

I’ve noticed that some of my pokémon with affection at 4 or 5 hearts can be petduring battle.Everytime a pokémon is defeated, if I touch the screen with the stylus it shows a hand petting the pokémon and having hearts coming out, right before showing how much exp. they gained. I tried it during a triple battle, with one pokémon with 5 hearts of affection, another with 4 and one with 1 heart. I was able to pet the first two but the last one (1 heart) just showed I the exp. right away. Has anyone else noticed this with their pokémon?

YES I have. The reason it didn’t work for the last one was that it only had one heart. It only works for higher hearts.Source: experience
