You may go hunting for Pokemon in most other games in the series, but in Pokemon Quest, you have to put your cooking skills to the test and whip up some Pokemon delicacies to lure them to your camp.
The cooking system you have to deal with in Pokemon Quest is fairly simple and the dish descriptions point you in the direction you need to go to make the recipe perfect. So how does it work? Here’s how you can cook up the right stuff to bring all the Pokemon to your yard.
Ingredients & Cooking
The table below is filled with some of the known recipes for each dish, but in order to strike out on your own, you need to know about each of the game’s ingredients and what their qualities are. Here’s a quick rundown:
| Ingredient | Color | Qualities + Type |
|---|---|---|
| Tiny Mushroom | Red | Mushroom Soft Small |
| Bluk Berry | Blue | Sweet Soft Small |
| Apricorn | Yellow | Plant Hard Small |
| Fossil | Gray | Mineral Hard Small |
| Big Root | (Big) Red | Plant Soft Precious |
| Icy Rock | (Big) Blue | Mineral Hard Precious |
| Honey | (Big) Yellow | Sweet Soft Precious |
| Balm Mushroom | (Big) Gray | Mushroom Soft Precious |
Past these ingredients are the two Rainbow ingredients, which can substitute any other type of ingredient and seem to be used for the rarest dish of them all: Ambrosia of Legends.
You need to know the food qualities and types so you can piece together the recipe hints to make them on your own. The recipe list below only goes so far — there are definitely more combinations to these dishes.
Past the ingredients, there are still a few things to know about the cooking system. For instance:
- Using an ingredient with the “Precious” quality may attract more rare Pokemon than the typical sizes, all “big” ingredients are Precious
- The amount indicated in the recipe description indicates the amount of a type of ingredient to be used, and can be used to figure out recipes on your own:
- “A little” likely equates to 1 or more
- “A few” likely equates to 2 or more
- “A lot” likely equates to 3 or more
- “A whole lot” likely equates to 4 or more
