Attract your favourite Pokémon with these lovely recipes.
Pokémon games today are just as relevant as they were at their inception almost three decades ago.
They come in many forms, too, from the big titles on consoles to evergreen mobile apps like Pokémon Go.
Pokémon Quest lies in both camps, with a release on both Switch and mobile.
It is a free-to-play title with an adorable retro art style and plenty of things to do. You manage your base, complete expeditions and get new Pokémon on your team by luring them in with food.
That last part is interesting, and a huge part of the game. With the cooking pot in the base camp, you put your ingredients to use.
If you have the ingredients but don’t know how to use them, fear not: We’re here to help.
Let’s take a look at the cooking process and the all 18 recipes in Pokémon Quest.
How to cook in Pokémon Quest
So, you’ve completed a few expeditions and obtained some ingredients. It’s time to start using that cooking pot in base camp. But before you get started, there are a few things you should know.
Firstly, you’ll unlock different pots available as you progress through the game. The one you unlock after the tutorial (Iron Pot) can only contain three ingredients.
To unlock better ones, and collect more Pokémon, you’ll need to make progress on your expeditions.
You should also be aware of the different qualities of recipes. The higher the quality, the more turns it will take to make.
However, if you get a better pot it’ll take less time. So we recommend making levelling up your pot a priority!
Also, you should know which family each ingredient belongs to. Because recipes often require a type of ingredient, rather than the item itself. Let’s take a look at what these are:
- Small – Tiny Mushroom, Bluk Berry, Apricorn or Fossil
- Precious – Big Root, Icy Rock, Honey, Balm Mushroom
- Very Precious – Rainbow Matter
- Mystical – Mystic Shell
- Red – Tiny Mushroom or Big Root
- Blue – Bluk Berry or Icy Rock
- Yellow – Apricorn or Honey
- Grey – Fossil or Balm Mushroom
- Soft Things – Tiny Mushroom, Bluk Berry, Big Root, Honey or Balm Mushroom
- Hard Things – Apricorn, Fossil or Icy Rock
- Sweet Things – Bluk Berry or Honey
- Mushroom – Tiny Mushroom or Balm Mushroom
- Mineral – Icy Rock or Fossil
- Plant – Apricorn or Big Root
Now, let’s take a look at the recipes themselves…
