According to a Bulbapedia page:


"All wallpapers and interior items can be grouped into several sets based on common criteria for obtaining them. Each set also fits a general theme and naming scheme described below as "category". Sets D and E actually consist of several categories each, corresponding to types. These type categories are the sets that a group of visitors may draw a gift from if they all share a type.

The ways to receive a decoration are:

- Unlock a new difficulty for a minigame.
- Earn a 5-star rating on a minigame.
- Raise the active Pokémon's affection to 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, or 255 points.
 - A bug can also grant a gift from the active Pokémon when a different Pokémon's affection is raised to a sufficient level when staying at Hotel Richissime.
Receive a gift from visitors.
- Visitor gifts draw from different sets (from A to F) depending on the visitors' combined affection levels, but occasional inconsistencies make describing the bounds of affection required for one set or another difficult. Also, minigame gifts do not stack. That is, if the player unlocks two difficulties in a row or gets 5 stars on any two games or gets 5 stars on a game and that unlocks the next difficulty, when they exit the play mode, they will still only get the latest gift (with unlocking occurring after the player earns their rating)."


Apparently I woke up too early to figure out exactly what this means you should do. Try getting five stars in hard-difficulty minigames, getting online if you can (and maybe setting out a Poke Puff) so that visitors can visit, stuff like that.

Here's the link to the page: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon-Amie_decorations

Wish I could be more clear, but hopefully this helped somewhat.

Apparently Roar will fail against Pokemon that are a higher level, but I have yet to test this in an SOS chain. However, the Jangmo-o line, as Sees mentioned, can have Soundproof (which makes them immune to Roar) and learn False Swipe. In addition, the Fomantis line can learn False Swipe and Ingrain, which I believe will prevent them from being affected by Roar, but also means you can't switch them out without certain items/moves, so it's far inferior to Soundproof. And it seems Magic Bounce will bounce back Roar, and Roar apparently won't affect the opponent in SOS chains, so it should be rendered harmless, but again, I haven't tested.

In short, Jangmo-o or one of its evolutions is likely the best option if Magic Bounce doesn't work right. Good luck!

"One more question, I want to sos chain for a shiny growlithe, but I forgot it knew roar, so this is going to make it a bit more difficult than I originally thought."

Kommo-o has Soundproof and gets False Swipe.

Ooh, shiny Heatran? I have one myself named Magma, and he's chilling in my PC box in Omega Ruby. For some reason I quite like shiny Heatran.

Hey, I saw your chat post. Just wanted to say that I am 99.99999% sure that nothing but the Global Link in SM and USUM is shut down. GTS, Wonder Trade, multiplayer battling, Pokemon Bank, and other WiFi-related things should be working as normal unless you have a problem with your own DS or WiFi. Here's some info about Global Link (which is completely unrelated to GTS, trading, battling, etc.), and some info about those things still being functional:

Hope I helped!

Hiya! I believe the chance to encounter a Shiny Pokemon in Gen 7 with Shiny Charm as the only modifier is 1/1365.67.

I've been good, getting into Dragon Ball (it has its moments... and its cute protagonists) and spending most of the night watching it. Recently finished the original and started Z just last night, if you were wondering. How've you been?
