33 Mosslax is a Special Pokemon with the exclusive Eat specialty. Once per day, you can feed Mosslax a food item to receive a powerful buff that lasts until 5:00 AM the following day. The buff depends on the flavor profile of the food you provide. This daily feeding is one of the most impactful daily routines in Pokemon Pokopia and should not be skipped.
