There are 18 recipes in total that can attract Pokémon based on either their type or their color. But when it comes to attracting Pokémon based on their color, you might be surprised how many of the Pokémon in the yellow category aren’t yellow. For example, Bulbasaur is green, but since there isn’t a recipe that attracts green Pokémon, he is attracted by Yellow Curry à la Cube.

We translated all the terms to numbers and specified which Pokémons you have a chance of attracting to your camp when cooking that meal. Here are all the recipes in Pokémon Quest.

How many ingredients will I need for each recipe and which pot should I use in Pokémon Quest?

When randomly adding ingredients to the pot, the recipe you get doesn’t specify how much of each ingredient you need to use to make it again. The game uses terms such as “a whole lot”, “a few”, and “a little” to indicate how many ingredients the recipe requires. Here’s what every term means in numbers.

  • A whole lot: Four ingredients.
  • A lot: Three ingredients.
  • A few: Two ingredients.
  • A little: One ingredient.

As you progress through the game, you’ll be able to upgrade your pot and use a higher number of ingredients, attracting higher-level Pokémon. You start with the Iron pot, get the bronze pot after you complete Backforth Brook, get the Silver pot after Pincushion Plain, and finally get the Gold pot after completing Chamber of Legends. Here is the level of Pokémon you can get with each pot:

  • Iron pot: Levels one to 15.
  • Bronze pot: Levels 15 to 40.
  • Silver pot: Levels 40 to 70.
  • Gold pot: Levels 70 and up.
