Revision 2

Overview

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.

All Six Flavor Buffs

Best Food for Each Flavor

Each cooked recipe has a flavor profile. Here are easy-to-obtain foods for each flavor:

When to Use Each Buff

Spicy (Pokemon Spawn Rate)

Use Spicy when you are actively trying to fill your Pokedex or attract a specific Pokemon to a habitat. The increased spawn rate means habitats produce visitors faster, letting you befriend new Pokemon in less time. Best during:

• Early game when building out your Pokedex quickly

• After building a new habitat and waiting for a specific Pokemon to appear

• When trying to attract rare evolved forms

Sweet (Ancient Artifact Discovery)

Use Sweet when farming Lost Relics and Fossils from Glowing Blocks. This buff increases the chance that a Glowing Block contains an artifact rather than a common item. Best during:

• Dedicated relic-hunting sessions with a Search-specialty follower

• When you need specific relics to complete the collection

• Before visiting Dream Islands (which have additional Glowing Blocks)

Bitter (Rare Item Drops)

Use Bitter when you need rare crafting materials or uncommon item drops. This is a general-purpose farming buff. Best during:

• Mining runs in Rocky Ridges for rare ores

• Late-game material gathering for advanced construction projects

• When you need specific uncommon ingredients for recipes

Dry (Rainbow and Silver Feathers)

Use Dry when farming feathers for Gimmighoul trades or crafting the Clear Bell (Ho-Oh) and Tidal Bell (Lugia). Feathers are rare drops that become significantly more common with this buff. Best during:

• Active feather collection for legendary summons (need 5 of each type)

• When trading feathers to Gimmighoul for furniture and Life Coins

• Post-game completionist sessions

Sour (Shop Inventory Quality)

Use Sour when you plan to shop at Pokemon Center terminals or Trade-specialty shops. Better shop inventory means rarer recipes, building materials, and items become available. Best during:

• Before a shopping spree at multiple Pokemon Centers across regions

• When looking for specific rare recipes or blueprints

• After rebuilding a new Pokemon Center (the initial inventory may benefit)

Neutral (Friendship Rate)

Use Neutral when focusing on raising comfort levels for your Pokemon. Increased friendship means faster comfort progression, which directly raises your Environment Level. Best during:

• When setting up a new region and trying to raise Environment Level quickly

• After recruiting multiple new Pokemon that all need comfort boosts

• Combined with daily mini-game routines (Jump Rope, Hide-and-Seek, Look That Way, Quizzes)

Optimal Daily Strategy

Most experienced players recommend this priority order for daily Mosslax feeding:

1. Dry if you need feathers for Ho-Oh, Lugia, or Gimmighoul trades

2. Spicy if you are actively filling the Pokedex

3. Sweet if you are hunting Mysterious Slates for Mew

4. Neutral if you are trying to raise Environment Level

5. Bitter for general material farming sessions

6. Sour before dedicated shopping trips

Important Notes

• You can only feed Mosslax once per day. The feeding resets at 5:00 AM.

• The buff applies immediately and lasts until 5:00 AM the following day.

• Mosslax is located in Bleak Beach. You must travel there specifically to feed it.

• Any food item works. The buff is determined by the food's flavor, not its quality or rarity.

• If you forget to feed Mosslax, there is no penalty. You simply miss a day's buff.

• Buffs do not stack. Feeding Mosslax replaces the current buff with the new one.
