33 Cooking in Pokemon Pokopia lets you prepare food that restores PP and powers up your Ditto transformation moves. The cooking system revolves around four pieces of equipment, each dedicated to a specific food category. Cooking is unlocked during the Rocky Ridges storyline and becomes an essential part of progression, as powered-up moves are required to access new materials and areas.

5151 Flavors and Comfort
5252  
5353 Every recipe produces food with one of five flavors: Sweet, Sour, Bitter, Spicy, or Dry. Flavors are important because they affect Pokemon Comfort Levels. Each Pokemon has a favorite flavor listed in their Pokedex entry. Feeding a Pokemon food that matches its preferred flavor increases its comfort more than a mismatched flavor.

6363 Always cook before going on a gathering run. Powered-up moves make material collection significantly faster.Start growing Beans as soon as you unlock Rototiller. Hamburger Steaks are critical for accessing iron and gold ore with Rock Smash.The Bread Bowl recipe requires both the Burn specialty and a pre-cooked Soup. Make Soup first, then combine it with Wheat at the Bread Oven with a Burn-specialty Pokemon present.Check each Pokemon's favorite flavor in the Pokedex before cooking food for them. Matching flavors gives the best Comfort Level boost.The Chopping Board is the only cooking tool that does not require fire. You can make salads anywhere without needing a flame or Cooking Stove.Advanced recipes with specialty requirements produce stronger move buffs than basic versions. Prioritize befriending Chop, Crush, Generate, and Burn-specialty Pokemon to unlock the full recipe list.
