Best Ingredients and Helper Pokemon for Curry Dishes

Pokemon Sleep Dish Type Guides
Curries and Stews	Salads	Dessert and Drinks

Best Curry Ingredients

Common Curry Ingredients (Lv. 1)

Curry Ingredients to Focus On
Fancy Apple	Bean Sausage	Honey
Moomoo Milk	Fiery Herb	Snoozy Tomato
Greengrass Corn	Warming Ginger

These are the ingredients we recommend to get when your Snorlax requests curries and stews.

Focusing on at least one of these ingredients, particularly in the first two rows, will guarantee that you'll be able to make curry and stew recipes easily. Many curry recipes only require one or two of these ingredients like the Fancy Apple Curry, Beanburger Curry, Mild Honey Curry, Simple Chowder, and "Solar Power" Tomato Curry.

Greengrass Corn isn't all that common, since it can only be obtained by a few Lapis Lakeside Pokemon, but it is required for the curry recipe with the highest base Strength, “Inferno” Corn Keema.

Rare Curry Ingredients (Lv. 30 and 60)

Curry Ingredients to Focus On
Slowpoke Tail	Large Leek

These ingredients may take longer to get, but they are worth it to make high-strength curry dishes. The Slowpoke Tail is especially valuable to make Grilled Tail Curry.

All of the starter Pokemon you can get upon starting Pokemon Sleep allow you to easily make curry and stew recipes, so this is one of the best dish requests to have when you're still early in the game.

You may also use the pre-evolved forms of these Pokemon if you do not have the final evolutions yet.

Best Ingredients and Helper Pokemon for Salad Dishes

Best Salad Ingredients

Common Salad Ingredients (Lv. 1)

Salad Ingredients to Focus On
Fancy Apple	Bean Sausage	Snoozy Tomato
Greengrass Soybeans	Fiery Herb	Pure Oil
Moomoo Milk	Warming Ginger	Greengrass Corn

Salad recipes aren't quite as easy to make with no planning, unlike curry recipes. Most of the good salad recipes require at least two different ingredients, though there are still one-ingredient salad recipes such as the Fancy Apple Salad, Bean Ham Salad, and Snoozy Tomato Salad.

For salads, it's a good idea to consult a salad recipes list so you can better plan which recipes you want to make for the week, but choosing from the ingredients above is also a good place to start.

Rare Salad Ingredients (Lv. 30 and 60)

Salad Ingredients to Focus On
Slowpoke Tail	Large Leek

These ingredients may take longer to get, but they are worth it to make high-strength salad dishes. The Slowpoke Tail is especially valuable to make Slowpoke Tail Pepper Salad.

Best Ingredients and Helper Pokemon for Dessert Dishes

Curries and Stews	Salads	Dessert and Drinks

Best Dessert and Drink Ingredients

Dessert/Drink Ingredients to Focus On
Fancy Apple	Moomoo Milk	Honey
Fancy Egg	Warming Ginger	Greengrass Soybeans
Soothing Cacao	Greengrass Corn

These ingredients, especially the first row, are the best and easiest to collect in order to make dessert and drink recipes. These ingredients are versatile and can be used in a variety of desserts and drinks. They are also all available as level 1 ingredients.

You don't really need any of the level 30 or 60 unlocked ingredients in order to make good dessert recipes, but an uncommon dessert ingredient you may want to have is Greengrass Corn.

It can be used in two high-Strength dishes, “Explosion” Popcorn and “Teatime” Corn Scones, but it can only be obtained by a few Pokemon from Lapis Lakeside.

Cooking Guide: Tips for Dish Strength and Best Dishes

Best Ingredients Specialty Pokemon

Pokemon	Berry | Ingredients	Skill
Blastoise	| Ingredients Specialty	Ingredient Magnet S
Gengar	| Ingredients Specialty	Charge Strength S
Ditto	| Ingredients Specialty	Charge Strength S

While Venusaur and Charizard are also solid ingredient-gatherers, Moomoo Milk is a common ingredient for all dish types. This makes Blastoise a more consistent source of useful ingredients.

Gengar is the fastest Ingredients Specialty Pokemon and picks up the high-Strength Fiery Herb ingredient. Most Gengar can also pick up the uncommon Tasty Mushroom ingredient at level 30.

Ditto is the only Ingredients Specialty Pokemon that can pick up the valuable Slowpoke Tail ingredient at level 60. Unfortunately, Ditto is also quite a rare Pokemon. When you see one, try your best to befriend it!

Honorable mentions are Victreebel, Dugtrio, and Mr. Mime, who all have similar helping stats and are consistent sources of ingredients! The newer Pokemon Delibird, Dragonite, and Bewear also appear to be good sources of ingredients.
