How do you check your Pokemon's happiness if you're only up to the 2nd gym in Pokemon X?

I'm trying to get an Umbreon and the only way I know to check happiness is impossible, so how do you do it?

Actually, there is a way to know whether you have maxed out the happiness of a Pokémon or not in X before you get the 2nd badge. If you know your berries, you can feed your Pokémon with any of Pomeg, Kelpsy, Qualot, Hondew, Grepa and Tamato. However, each of these will lower a stat of the Pokémon you are feeding so if you don't want to lower a particular stat, it will take some time and lots of patience to grow and harvest those berries.

Those berries can be created by planting two berries next to each other if there is a mutation:

Pomeg      Iapapa + Mago
Kelpsy     Chesto + Persim
Qualot     Oran + Pecha
Hondew     Aspear + Leppa
Grepa      Aguav + Figy
Tamato     Sitrus + Lum

Otherwise, the locations of the berries to make the above can be found on various routes, including on berry trees you can find on wild battles.

If the happiness of the Pokémon is maxed out, the berry won't have any effect.

These particular berries actually have 4 possible messages, let's take Eevee and a Pomeg Berry as example:

The stat is reduced and happiness is increased:

Eevee became more friendly! Its base HP fell!
The stat cannot be reduced but happiness increases,

Eevee became more friendly! Its base HP can't go lower!
The stat further decreases with no other additional effects (Max Happiness)

Eevee adores you! Its base HP fell!
Neither the stat can be decreased, nor happiness can be increased, that's when it won't have any effect. (Max Happiness)

Eevee adores you! Its base HP can't go lower!

Otherwise, if you don't want to actually use the berries, you can save your game, use the berries and count how many you used and then load your previous game. The more you used, the further your Pokémon is from max happiness
