How Do I Get a New Pokemon in Pokemon Quest?

Unlike any other Pokemon game to date, Pokemon Quest offers a fresh new take on capturing Pokemon. Here, you do not necessarily throw a Pokeball to catch them. Instead, what you need to do is lure new Pokemon by cooking irresistible recipes that they'd go after.

To actually do this, head to the cooking pot, located at the center of your Base Camp. When you click it, it will open up a simple cooking interface. What you'll see in the screen would be the cooking pot with 5 slots. When you start the game, what you'll have by default would be the iron pot. Different cooking pots would require different quantities of ingredients per slot.

For the iron pot however, you'd need 3 pieces of the same ingredient to fill up 1 slot. What this means is that - if for instance you're planning to fill up the cooking pot with fossil (gray ingredient), you'll need to fill 5 slots with 3 pieces of fossil each, resulting to the need to procure 15 pieces of the ingredient. As you level up and acquire better cooking pots, the quantity of ingredient you'll need per slot also increases.

The quality, level, and type of Pokemon you will acquire from cooking highly depends on the ingredients that you'll put together, and the cooking pot that you used. You can create a variety of dishes with different size offerings to gain the different types of Pokemon. For a concise tutorial about the cooking process in the game, refer to "Cooking Basics" part of the guide, or the "Recipe Cheat Sheet" to follow through the simple combination of ingredients to achieve the different types of dishes in the game.
