Cooking (Quest)

Cooking (Japanese: 料理 Cooking) is a feature in Pokémon Quest that enables the player to attract and befriend island Pokémon. Evolved Pokémon cannot be befriended. Cooking usually attracts one Pokémon, but there is a 4.3% chance of attracting two Pokémon, and a 0.5% chance of three Pokémon. The Pikachu Surfboard decoration increases the chance of attracting multiple Pokémon by 1.5 times.

Cooking

Ingredients are cooked together in a cooking pot at the base camp. Better pots are unlocked as the player progresses through the story. Better pots require more ingredients but attract higher level Pokémon.

The player is provided with one cooking pot as default. Expedition packs can be purchased as additional downloadable content to obtain extra cooking pots.

Cooking recipes

Five sets of ingredients must be combined to cook a recipe. Using more precious ingredients increases the quality of the dish. Small ingredients provide one point, precious ingredients provide two points, very previous ingredients provide three points, and special ingredients provide two points to the overall quality of the dish. Higher quality recipes take longer to cook but attract rarer Pokémon and Pokémon of higher level.

Points	Quality
5	Standard dish
6-7	Good
8-9	Very Good
10 or greater	Special

Recipes require a certain number of turns to cook. Going on an expedition reduces the number of turns by one each time. The number of turns required depends on quality of the dish and the cooking pot used.

Cooking with better pots attract Pokémon with higher level and IVs. Better cooking pots also provide greater bonuses to the Pokémon's stats.

Pot	Level	Max possible IV	Stat bonus	Turns to cook
Pot	Level	Max possible IV	Stat bonus	Standard	Good	Very good	Special
Cooking pot	1-15	10	0	2	4	5	6
Bronze Cooking Pot	16-30	50	50	2	4	5	6
Silver Cooking Pot	31-70	100	100	3	5	6	7
Gold Cooking Pot	71-100	100	300	4	6	7	8

Having Mystical Shell as one of the ingredients increases the length of cooking by one.
