11Overview2233There are five flavors in Pokemon Pokopia that determine how much a Pokemon enjoys a particular food. The five flavors are Sweet, Spicy, Dry, Bitter, and Sour. Every Pokemon has a favorite flavor listed in its Pokedex entry. Feeding a Pokemon its preferred flavor gives a larger boost to its Comfort Level compared to an unflavored or non-preferred food.4455The Five Flavors6677FlavorDescriptionCommonly Preferred BySweetSugary and pleasant tasteCute and small Pokemon, Normal-typesSpicyHot and bold tasteFire-type and energetic PokemonDryMild and earthy tasteRock-type and Ground-type PokemonBitterSharp and herbal tasteGrass-type and aquatic PokemonSourTangy and acidic tastePoison-type and certain Water-type Pokemon8899Why Flavors Matter10101111Matching a Pokemon's preferred flavor when feeding it food gives a larger Comfort Level boost compared to feeding it unflavored food or food with a different flavor. Pokemon sometimes directly request a specific flavor when you talk to them. Fulfilling these flavor requests improves your relationship with that Pokemon and contributes to raising the area's Environment Level.12121313Checking Preferences14141515Each Pokemon's favorite flavor is displayed in its Pokedex entry. You can also talk to a Pokemon directly; they will occasionally mention what flavor they are craving. Keeping a stock of all five flavors ensures you can satisfy any Pokemon's request.16161717Food Recipes by Flavor18181919There are four types of food in Pokopia, each made at a different cooking station.

Cooked dishes provide noticeably stronger effects than raw berries or crops. There are two buff tiers: Moderate (from raw ingredients and simple dishes) and Strong (from advanced cooked recipes). To get the maximum benefit each day, always offer a cooked dish rather than a raw berry.52525353Best Offerings by Flavor54545555The following table lists the strongest cooked offering for each flavor.

Before you can interact with Mosslax, you need to complete the Bleak Beach main story quest and reach 100 bloom points by connecting Utility Poles between power sources and streetlamps. When Raikou appears at the top of town and releases a jolt of electricity, it wakes Mosslax and unlocks the feeding mechanic.61616262To feed Mosslax, place food on the Gourmet's Offering plate in front of it. The food's dominant flavor determines which buff you receive. You can only offer food to Mosslax once per in-game day. The buff lasts until 5:00 AM the next day, so plan your offering around whichever activity you want to focus on that session.63636464Recommended Daily Strategies65656666Since you can only feed Mosslax once per day, pick the buff that matches your current goals:67676868StrategyDetailsFilling the PokedexOffer Spicy food to boost habitat spawn rates, then visit habitats with missing Pokemon.Farming feathers for Ho-Oh and LugiaOffer Dry food so Rainbow Feathers and Silver Feathers appear more frequently across the map.Treasure huntingOffer Sweet food before visiting Dream Islands or exploring for Ancient Artifacts.Rare material farmingOffer Bitter food when gathering from Litter Pokemon or breaking Glowing Blocks.Shopping for rare itemsOffer Sour food before checking Trade-specialty Pokemon shops for better inventory.Raising comfort levelsOffer Neutral food when focusing on befriending new Pokemon or raising Comfort Levels across habitats.6969Tips70707171Place food on a dish in a Pokemon's habitat or hand it to them directly. Unflavored food gives a small Comfort Level boost but is less effective than a flavor match. Berries and raw crops also carry flavor profiles before being cooked. Keep a stock of all five flavors to satisfy any Pokemon's request. Feed Mosslax dry food if you are farming feathers for Ho-Oh and Lugia, or spicy food if you are trying to fill your Pokedex.
