In Pokemon Sleep, the key to catching better Pokemon lies in increasing the Drowsy Power. However, achieving a higher Drowsy Power becomes nearly impossible without a supply of tasty Ingredients. Essentially, players constantly require a large number of ingredients, which raises a question: how can players maximize cooking resources in Pokemon Sleep, especially now that resource gathering has become almost entirely automated? Fear not, for this guide holds the answer.
What Are ‘Ingredients’ in Pokemon Sleep?
Ingredients are cooking materials. Unlike Berries in Pokemon Sleep, Ingredients cannot be fed to Snorlax directly and, instead, must be mixed with other edibles. With different Ingredients, players can prepare random dishes or cook special recipes that maximize the Drowsy Power.
How to Get More Ingredients
To find extra Ingredients, Pokemon Sleep players will need to recruit Pokemon with the “Ingredient” Specialty. Alternatively, they can team up with friends and do weekly missions to earn extra Ingredient Assortments.
Here are more methods for farming Ingredients:
Create an Ingredient Specialty Team
Create a squad of Pokemon with Ingredient Specialty. This will allow the Helpers to focus on specific items and collect more cooking materials. (To check a Pokemon’s Specialty, tap on its card in the Pokemon; its ability will be shown in the top-right corner of the screen.)
The best Helper Pokemon for gathering more Ingredients are Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Dugtrio, and Gengar.
Pick Helpers with Ingredient-Boosting Skills
Pokemon Sleep creatures come with a random Main Skill and five Sub-Skills. Of these, some might be Ingredient-focused abilities that increase the overall harvest.
Ingredient Magnet, Ingredient Finder, and Inventory Up are some skills that can get players more cooking materials. With Ingredient Magnet and Finder, the Pokemon is likelier to collect more items, while with Inventory Up, it’s capable of carrying more items at once.
Participate in Research Community Mission
Adding friends in Pokemon Sleep can reward players with Ingredients. Players who increase their Closeness Level through the Research Community mission receive a bundle of Ingredients for free.
Of course, the Closeness Level rewards can only be collected once per friend. So, the ideal method would be to bond with more players as early as possible to get the maximum amount of Ingredients.
Keep Pokemon Happy and Energized
Energetic Pokemon collect more Ingredients. To keep the Pokemon Sleep pot boiling, make Helper Pokemon happy and give them enough time to rest and recover.
Utilize Recovery Incenses to restore Pokemon Energy faster.
Utilize Ingredient Tickets
Tickets might not be the best items to buy in Pokemon Sleep. But if collecting more cooking stuff is a must, get an Ingredient Ticket. It costs about 200 Sleep Points and can be exchanged for ten instant Ingredients.
Blow the Helper Whistle or Get the Good Camp Set
There are two items in the Pokemon Sleep Shop that can boost the Ingredient harvest: The Helper Whistle and the Good Camp Set. With the former, players earn three hours’ worth of Ingredients instantly, while the latter increases the Helpers’ performance by 20%, encouraging them to collect more cooking materials.
Pokemon Sleep is available now for mobile devices.
