Pokemon Quest Recipes – All Cooking Pots & Ingredient Guide
In Pokemon Quest, cooking isn't just for show—it's the core mechanic that brings new Pokemon to your team. With over 100 unique dishes and various cooking pots, this system adds a flavorful twist to catching 'em all. Whether you're hunting for a specific type or just experimenting with ingredients, having a solid recipe guide is essential.
This updated 2025 guide covers everything you need to cook your way to the best team: from the most efficient dishes to attract rare Pokemon to the benefits of different cooking pots.
How Cooking Works in Pokemon Quest
Cooking in Pokemon Quest happens at your base camp. You combine ingredients in a pot to make a stew, and after a few expeditions, a new Pokemon will arrive drawn by the scent.
The outcome depends on two things:
The recipe : What ingredients you use.
The pot : Determines the quality (and level) of the Pokemon attracted.
More advanced pots require rarer ingredients and more of them, but they yield stronger Pokemon.
Cooking Pot Types and Effects
| Pot Name | Materials Needed | Attracts | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iron Pot | 3 ingredients | Level 1-5 | Basic starter, great for common Pokemon |
| Bronze Pot | 10 ingredients | Level 15+ | Mid-tier for early evolutions |
| Silver Pot | 20 ingredients | Level 40+ | Great for evolved and rarer Pokemon |
| Gold Pot | 30 ingredients | Level 70+ | Best for final evolutions and shiny variants |
Use higher-tier pots when you want to recruit late-game or rare Pokemon like Alakazam, Gyarados, or Gengar.
Ingredient Types
Ingredients fall into five main categories:
Soft (e.g. Apricorn)
Hard (e.g. Fossil)
Small (e.g. Tiny Mushroom)
Large (e.g. Big Root)
Colorful (e.g. Rainbow Matter)
Each recipe is built around the balance of these types.
