Maybe people in pokemon are loving retarded. I mean it took til the third game for a giant whale to be discovered.

"Whadda you mean Pokemon can breed?"

Seeing that Bergmite and Amaura are the only new ice evolutionary lines, are either of them good? I've brought my Aurorus to level 50 but he's been underwhelming and I always like to have an ice-type on my team. Is Bergmite/Avalugg worthwhile?

Seriously, has anyone found that decorations have had any effect on Pokemon Amie? I have a whole fire environment with fire hearts, a camp fire, and lava rock and fire cushions, and the fire background and it seems to make no difference in what Pokemon decide to hang out or what presents they leave.

I get the feeling that it's all for show. On the bright side there is a Punk Cube.

I hope that Dunsparce gets a mega evolution.

Also, where can I get a dusk stone? I want an Aegislash before I take on the Elite 4. Does the Aegislash super training drop it?

Yeah, Gen 5 is the red headed stepchild of the franchise; the games were treading the same water as DPP did, the cartoon (Iris, mostly) was insufferable and it somehow made a full sequel feel more like a mission pack release than the previous Mission Pack versions were.

So it was a whole load of missteps, frankly the only good thing was the Manga and even then that was because the writer went "You know what? Let's cast N as a complete rear end in a top hat mind-rapist and see where that gets us."

I mean at least Gen 3 gave us the enchanced remakes.

This game does not want me to have a 0 speed Sturdy Avalugg. I've bred 3 perfect bergmites, all of them with Own Tempo. Two of them have rolled perfect speed IV's. I have 3 boxes full of these loving things and two near-perfect parents but something that usually takes less than an hour for me has ended up taking over four. Life is pain.

Sturdy is a hidden ability. You need to get a friend safari Bergmite.

What exactly can I do with all these tiny mushrooms? There were collectors last gen that'd pay big for the things, but do they still exist in this game? Do they serve any special purpose or should I just sell them at the Pokemon Center?

You can get them in the battle resturants and they exist to be sold.

There's only a handful of good Poison types. I really like Drapion but I ultimately concede he's butt-tier. Gengar, Tentacruel, Venusaur (mega), Croagunk, maaaybe Dragalge are fairly good and usable.

Fairy type I don't really know that well but it would seem that Sylveon, Xerneas, Mawile (mega), Togekiss, Klefki, maaaybe Carbink, and Gardevoir all have their uses for sure. I am always rolling with a Steel type ( :h: Metagross-chan :h: ) and so far I've only really had problems with Mawile and Klefki.

You forgot Garbodor.

I can't speak of its accuracy, but I just saw a post on Tumblr saying that Shinies are guaranteed to eventually appear in Friend Safaris if you lead with a Pokemon with Illuminate, and continue to use O-Powers while in there, and you don't leave that Safari until you do. Apparently the music speeds up the closer you are to getting a shiny? It could totally be bullshit, but people are talking about seeing shinies in Friend Safaris with surprising frequency, so I guess it could never hurt to try/listen and see if the music does, indeed, speed up after a while.

You can also get Mew is you use strength on the Truck

Is there anything I can do to increase the likelihood of finding a super-size Pumpkaboo? Also, how does breeding affect Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist sizes?

Super-sized Pumpkaboos also always have a miracle seed so you can have a fainted pokemon with compound eyes in your first slot to increase the chance of fighting one.

Didn't someone manage to figure out that the chances for bred Poke shinies was actually 2x more likely than past games or something like that?

IIRC they basically watched the data that determines if a pokemon is shiny or not and noticed that pokemon that wouldn't be shiny in past games were shiny this gen.

Trick-or-Treat adds Ghost to a pokemon so dual-typed pokemon become triple-typed.
