Trying to obtain Reliable Partner mark
I've been trying to earn the "Reliable Partner" mark for some time now with a couple Pokémon. I'm struggling to find confirmation of a few points when it comes to getting it.
From what I can tell, any video or note simply says
- Get full (255) happiness
- Walk
There's a couple gaps I don't have answers for...
- Does the 'mon have to walk as well?
- Should it auto battle?
- On that, does it appear randomly after a battle?
- Does it count if I jump on top of a Pokémon Centre and it's doing circles below (the player is still)?
- Does returning to the ball reset anything?
- Can this be attempted with multiple at once (if just the player walking counters) or only one at a time?

To go off of Bulbapedia, and the tweet it cites, the Partner Mark requires at least 200 friendship, not 255, and it is granted at random per player step. It does not need to be outside the ball. Just make it happy, and walk around till it has it. (it does not list the exact chance.)
