Why won't my Riolu evolve?

Recently I asked a question on how I can evolve my Riolu at Level 2 and most of the feedback said to raise its happiness to max and then level it up.
After a long, long while of IV Breeding, Ev Training through Super Training (because I didn't want Riolu to level up), plus tons of vitamins and long rides on my bicycle around the Battle Resort with Befriending Power Lvl 1 because I haven't unlocked 2 and 3, I go to Verdanturf Town to check the happiness of Riolu and she says that it can't love me any more than it already does.
So I think to myself that FINALLY got the perfect Riolu. Then, I feed it a Rare Candy and... Nothing. Then I think that Riolu needs to level up in battle so I go to Route 101 and fight a Level 2 Wurmple and Riolu levels up but still nothing.
What am I missing?

If you have high enough friendship it should evolve when leveled up, but the part you are missing is that it needs to be day. Other than that, I don't know.
