 ==Making Poffins==
 In order to create a Poffin, each player must have a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Poffin Case}} and at least one [[Berry]]. Once these items are obtained, the player must go to [[Hearthome City]], and then head to the the [[Poffin House]], which is west of the [[Poké Mart]].
-From there, the player must talk to the NPC in front of what is a pot to create Poffins. Poffins may be made by either the player alone or with up to four friends via the DS's built in local wireless feature. After this, the player chooses a berry, similar to how Pokéblocks are made. Using the stylus, the player must stir the Poffin's dough around until it turns brown and spotted. The player should note that only 100 Poffins can be stored.

-===Overflows and burns===
+===Poffin levels===
+Poffin levels determine how much an aspect ([[condition]]) will be affected. Every berry has a base level, which is the level you would receive if the poffin were created in 60 seconds.
+Poffin levels can be improved by making the poffin in earlier time, given by the formula:
+:[[File:Poffin Level Formula.png]], where B is the base level, T is the time taken, and M is the sum of burns and spills.
+For example, an [[Aguav Berry]] has a base level of 14. This means completing in 60 seconds with 0 burns and 0 spills will yield a level 14 berry: 14 * 1 = 14. If, however, the berry was created in 40 seconds, it would be 14 * 3/2 = 21. The level 21 poffin then contributes 21 [[condition]] stat points upon consumption (assuming a neutral nature).
+Although logically this would imply that the higher level is better, this is only true identical berry poffins. Poffins have smoothness which contribute to a Pokemon's sheen level. A pokemon's sheen cannot exceed 255 and can never be reset. Thus, the choice of poffins has a big influence on the development of a condition.
+====Overflows and burns====
 Players may notice that while making a Poffin, they have to stir it at a certain speed. Otherwise, it could overflow or burn. Spills are caused by stirring too fast, and burns are caused by stirring too slow. Beginners often have trouble changing directions, causing many burnt Poffins.
 :*In the first stage of the Poffin, it is doughy and easy to spill. The color of the flames around the edge of the Poffin Pot will be orange. It is wise to start slow to prevent spillage, but not too slow to prevent burning it.
 :* At the second stage, the batter's "middle stage," the flames will turn red and the dough brown. A faster stir is to be used, though it is still possible to spill.
 :* Once the flames around the edge of the Poffin Pot turn blue, it will be impossible to spill dough, so the player should stir as fast as possible until the Poffin is complete.
 The faster the Poffin is made, the higher its level will be. The more players that worked together to cook the Poffin, the more Poffins they will each get: a player alone will cook only one Poffin, but four players working together will each get four Poffins.
-===Smoothness===
+====Smoothness and sheen====
+A pokemon's sheen determines how full the Pokemon is. Every poffin has a sheen, which is converted to the Pokemon's upon consumption. Pokemon can have a maximum of 255 sheen and any more will round down to 255, but eating high-sheen (high smoothness) poffins at 240-250 will not scale the poffin's effect. As such, pokemon can eat high-ratio poffins until they nearly max out the sheen level, then a single high-sheen poffin to get the maximum possible in a stat.
+Sheen cannot be reset. Once a Pokemon has 255 sheen, they cannot change stats. Thus, ribbons of all [[Super Contest]] ranks on a single Pokemon is extremely hard to attain.
 Smoothness determines how much the Pokémon's fur (sheen) meter is affected. A lower smoothness means that the fur meter does not fill up as much when feeding a Poffin to a Pokémon. Therefore, since Pokémon can no longer eat Poffins when their fur meter is maxed, it is best to aim for a low smooth rating in order to increase the amount of Poffins one can feed a Pokémon.
+Smoothness of a poffin can be seen in the poffin case, and varies depending on the berry used. For example, a poffin created with a [[Wiki Berry]] will have a smoothness of 24: 11 to consume until the Pokemon is full (or 10, and any other poffin).

-There are also "hybrid" Poffin flavors such as Bitter-Spicy, Sweet-Sour, etc., which increase two attributes at once. They are primarily the color of the first attribute, with small bits of the color of the second attribute on top, similar to sprinkles.

A downside to making hybrid poffins is that their effects can be negated by opposing flavors,
 The Foul Poffin is a very low-level Poffin (Level 2 or 3) that is a result from a large amount of burns during the making of the Poffin. It may also result when, in multi-player mode, the same Berry is put in by both players. It is a dark gray color.
