Ever wondered how to attract your favorite Pokémon in Pokémon Quest? The secret lies in the game’s quirky cooking system.
Instead of battling wild Pokémon right away, you cook tasty dishes at your base camp—and each recipe lures specific types of Pokémon to join your team!
These recipes are super easy to “make” in the game, requiring just a handful of ingredients like berries, mushrooms, and stones.Â
Best of all, cooking is fun, quick (just a few expeditions for each dish to finish), and perfect for players of all ages, whether you’re a casual gamer, a busy professional unwinding after work, or families playing together.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe System
- Simple and fun – only 4–5 ingredients needed per dish.
- Customizable – mix ingredients to attract different Pokémon types.
- Strategic gameplay – choose recipes that help build your dream team.
- Perfect for all players – kids, beginners, and seasoned trainers.
- No stress – you can’t “burn” a recipe—experiments still attract Pokémon!
Ingredients Needed
In Pokémon Quest, you don’t use flour, sugar, or eggs. Instead, you’ll need:
- Tiny Mushroom – attracts Fire-type Pokémon.
- Bluk Berry – great for Water and Flying types.
- Apricorn – used for Grass and Bug Pokémon.
- Fossil – lures Rock and Ground types.
- Big Root – helps attract Grass Pokémon.
- Honey – best for Bug and Fairy Pokémon.
- Ice Rock – attracts Ice-type Pokémon.
- Mineral – used for Steel and Rock types.
💡 Substitutions: You can use more of one ingredient if you don’t have a mix. For example, lots of mushrooms can still make a dish even without berries.
How to Make Pokémon Quest Recipes
Cooking in Pokémon Quest is simple and follows a consistent pattern:
- Open your cooking pot at your base camp.
- Select 4–5 ingredients (can be any combination).
- Confirm your recipe—the game auto-detects what you’ve made.
- Send your Pokémon on expeditions while the dish cooks (usually takes 2–5 runs).
- Return to your base camp to reveal the cooked dish.
- Watch new Pokémon arrive—each recipe attracts different types!
Recipe Tips & Variations
- Experiment freely – even random mixes create dishes.
- Use higher-quality ingredients for rarer Pokémon.
- Match ingredients by type (e.g., mushrooms = red = Fire Pokémon).
- Air fryer vs. oven? In-game, think of it as “normal pot vs. bronze/silver pot”—better pots attract stronger Pokémon.
- Avoid common mistakes:
- Don’t waste rare items early on—save them for stronger Pokémon later.
- Don’t use only Fossils unless you want only Rock-types.
- Don’t waste rare items early on—save them for stronger Pokémon later.
What to Serve It With
Well, these aren’t meals you eat—but you can “pair” recipes with:
- Team building goals – cook dishes that fill type gaps in your squad.
- Expedition prep – cook before a big battle to attract useful allies.
- Shiny hunting – some players use recipes to target shiny Pokémon appearances.
Storage & Reheating Tips
In-game terms:
- Storage: Ingredients you collect during expeditions are automatically stored. Keep farming expeditions to restock.
- Reheating: Recipes don’t need reheating—just cook again anytime with fresh ingredients.
Nutrition Info (Optional)
Since these aren’t real meals, think of the “nutrition” as EXP and Power Stones your Pokémon gain after cooking and recruiting new allies.
