Getting Started
Know the Pokémon's nature. All Pokémon have preferences when it comes to eating berries. You can tell by checking their nature. Nature, or also known as personality, was introduced in the Generation III games. Pokémon in the latest games have one of 25 natures. Flavor is also consistently liked or disliked by Pokémon, depending on which stat is raised or lowered; for example, all Pokémon who like spicy flavors will have a nature that raises their attack while those that dislike spicy flavors will all have a nature that lowers their attack. Pokémon will like and dislike a certain flavor, which we have listed below. Keep in mind that feeding them their disliked flavor will decrease their stats. Lonely, Adamant, Naughty, and Brave Pokémon loves spicy. However, Adamant dislikes sour and dry, Naughty dislikes bitter, and Brave dislikes sweet flavors. Bold, Impish, Lax, and Relaxed love sour flavors; but Bold dislikes sour, Impish dislikes dry, Lax dislikes bitter, and Relaxed disliked sweet. Modest, Mild, Rash, and Quiet love dry flavors; but Modest dislikes spicy, Mild dislikes sour, Rash dislikes bitter, and Quiet dislikes sweet. Calm, Gentle, Careful, and Sassy love bitter flavors; but Calm dislikes spicy, Gentle dislikes sour, Careful dislikes dry, and Sassy dislikes sweet. Timid, Hasty, Jolly, and Naive Pokémon love sweet flavors; but Timid dislikes spicy, Hasty dislikes sour, Jolly dislikes dry, and Naive dislikes bitter. Pokémon with Bashful, Docile, Hardy, Quirky, and Serious nature have no preference when it comes to flavors.
Find the plots to grow your plants. When you reach Route 7, go to the south exit and you will encounter a man and his daughter that opened a field; they will gladly let you use it. You will be given six rows of plots, each being able to grow 6 trees. You can get berries to grow here in various trees dotted around the Kalos region. Just like in the previous version of the game, you can place mulch on the ground then place a berry. Once you get Sprinklotad, you'll be able to water the areas to keep the soil moist. There are a few changes in this version of the game. First is the sudden appearance of weeds around the berries. This will hinder the growth of the plant and result in a less bountiful crop. There are also bug-type Pokémon, such as Spewpa, that will attack your plants, and you need to battle them in order to protect your berries.
Use the composters. Mulch is given added importance within these berry fields since it helps make your plant grow and give bountiful of crops. In the fields, there are two composters. If you feed them 3 berries, you will receive some mulch. There are four kinds of mulch in X and Y version of the game: Amaze Mulch has the effects of Rich, Surprise, and Boost. You need Kee Berry or Maranga Berry and two other berries to produce this. Boost Mulch increases the berry harvest that can be grown by diligent watering. You need two berries of the same color and another berry. Rich Mulch increases the berry harvest without particularly diligent care. You need three berries of varied colors to make this. Surprise Mulch causes strange, sudden mutations based on the combination of berries. To make this mulch, you need three berries of the same color.
Mutating Berries
Plant your berries. If you have different berries growing next to each other, there is a chance that the berries will cross-pollinate, yielding you one or more of another berry. This chance is increase with the use of Surprise Mulch. Plant the berry you got from other trees and then apply Surprise Mulch and wait for it to grow. As it produces crops, you will notice that one or more of the fruits have a different color, indicating that the two trees next to each other have cross-pollinated. Fruits resulting from berry mutation have different stat bonuses, which will be listed below.
