There are a few main recipes in Pokemon Pokopia, and each one has its own purpose. Players can use them to boost moves or give them to Mosslax to gain powerful boosts.
All Main Story Missions in Pokemon Pokopia (Requests List)
Pokemon Pokopia's main story is made up of ten important requests. Here's where you can find every mission and how to complete the final one.
Players will learn how to make Hamburger Steak once they get to Rocky Ridge, which will boost their Rock Smash move. Once they get this recipe, they can also attempt to make its variants to receive other boosts. This guide tells players how they can make Bitter Hamburger Steak in Pokemon Pokopia.
How to Make Bitter Hamburger Steak in Pokopia
Just like making Simple Hamburger Steak in Pokopia, players need to place beans into a Frying Pan to make Bitter Hamburger Steak. However, they also have to add other items so that it gets a bitter flavor rather than a neutral flavor.
To make Bitter Hamburger Steak in Pokopia, players need to place the following ingredients on a Frying Pan: 1 Bean, 1 Rawst Berry, 1 Lum Berry, and any other ingredient
Beans are easy to come by in Pokopia, and players will easily get them as a gift from Pokemon, purchasing the seeds in the shop, or exploring.
Lum Berries and Rawst Berries are the hardest ingredients to come by, and they can be found by searching water ripples, receiving gifts from Pokemon, and exploring the map. Lum Berries spawn by the lava waterfall north of the portal on the northeastern side of town. Rawst Berries spawn on the northwestern island, in a hidden room. Any of them can also appear in Withered Wastelands, as each player has another random tree spawn in the higher areas of this town.
Either method requires players to progress a lot in the game, so if they have a Nintendo Switch Online membership, the best way for them to get these berries is to visit the Developer's Island in Pokopia, and use the 3D printer at a Pokemon Center to get copies of their trees for 1 Rare Pokemetal. Unfortunately, these trees will not be fully grown, so they won't have berries on them right away.
What Is Bitter Hamburger Steak for in Pokopia?
Bitter Hamburger Steak can be used to boost players' Rock Smash, just like any other Hamburger Steak recipe, and it can also be used to please Pokemon that are looking for food with a specific type of flavor. Since this is a flavorful meal, its boosts are particularly important for Mosslax, as it is able to provide boosts based on what he's been given.
Simple foods, such as berries and veggies, will cause Mosslax to grant its weakest boost, simple recipes result in normal boosts, and flavor recipes grant players powerful boosts.
Any type of bitter flavor will cause Mosslax to increase the player's chance of finding rare items when digging up glowing spots or searching ripples in the water. So, if players want to maximize the number of rare items they find on a specific day, they should give Mosslax a Bitter Hamburger Steak.
