The best helper team for desserts and drinks primarily consists of Ingredients Specialty Pokemon that can make high-Strength dishes in Pokemon Sleep. Read on for the best Pokemon team to make dessert and drink recipes for each island and which dessert and drink recipes are the best to make.

Best Team to Make New Dessert/Drink Recipes

Best Team for Valentine's Day Recipes

New Valentine's Day Recipes

Dish	Recipe	Base Strength
“Flower Gift” Macarons	・ Soothing Cacao x25 ・ Fancy Egg x25 ・ Honey x17 ・ Moomoo Milk x10 Total ingredients: 77	13834
“Petal Dance” Chocolate Tart	・ Soothing Cacao x11 ・ Fancy Apple x11 Total ingredients: 22	3314

There are only five different ingredients required for these two recipes: Soothing Cacao, Fancy Egg, Honey, Moomoo Milk, and Fancy Apple. This makes it easy to have just one team for both recipes.

“Flower Gift” Macarons require a total of 77 ingredients, which cannot fit in any upgraded cooking pot or even most Good Camp-expanded ones. It is recommended to make this dish on Sunday when your pot capacity is doubled.

Best Valentine's Day Recipes Team

Pokemon	Ingredients (Lv. 1 and 30)
Blastoise	Specialty: Ingredients Moomoo Milk x2 (lv.1) Soothing Cacao x3 (lv.30)
Delibird	Specialty: Ingredients Fancy Egg x2 (lv.1) Fancy Apple x6 (lv.30)
Pinsir or Venusaur	Specialty: Ingredients Honey x2 (lv.1) Fancy Apple x5 (lv.30)
	Specialty: Ingredients Honey x2 (lv.1) Honey x5 (lv.30)
Absol	Specialty: Ingredients Soothing Cacao x2 (lv.1) Fancy Apple x8 (lv.30)
Free Slot	Recommended Pokemon: • Blastoise • Delibird • Raichu (if you don't have level 30 Fancy Apple Pokemon)

It's recommended to use Ingredients Specialty Pokemon to gather your Valentine's Day ingredients, especially since “Flower Gift” Macarons require 77 ingredients that can be obtained much faster by Ingredients Specialty Pokemon.

It is also recommended to have your Pokemon at level 30 or higher in order for them to have access to their second ingredient. It's not completely necessary for Venusaur and if you have multiple Pokemon with Fancy Apple as their second ingredient, but it is still helpful to get more ingredients fast.

If your Pokemon can't get to level 30 yet, you can use Raichu instead as your Fancy Apple Pokemon. There aren't any Ingredients Specialty Pokemon that can pick up Fancy Apple as their base ingredient. However, Raichu is one of the fastest Pokemon in the game and can make a fine substitute.

It's recommended to have two Blastoise for your Cyan Beach Valentine's team, though you can substitute the second Blastoise for Squirtle, Wartortle, Vaporeon, Clefairy, Clefable, or a Pokemon that can pick up Soothing Cacao.

It is also highly recommended to have your Pokemon, the Ingredients Specialty ones most importantly, to be at least level 30 in order to unlock their second ingredient. Unlocking Blastoise's Soothing Cacao is the best way to get this ingredient.

Taupe Hollow Favorite Berries:	Recommended Dishes
	“Flower Gift” Macarons	“Steadfast” Ginger Cookies

Recommended Team
Marowak	Specialty: Berries Warming Ginger x1 (lv.1) Soothing Cacao x2 (lv.30)

Venusaur	Specialty: Ingredients Honey x2 (lv.1) Honey x5 (lv.30)

A lot of the strong Pokemon that pick up the Taupe Hollow Snorlax's favorite Berries actually can't obtain good dessert ingredients. You can bring in Delibird and Venusaur to help you make these dessert recipes.

It's very important for the Marowak on this team to have Soothing Cacao unlocked. Otherwise, you'll have to add in a different Pokemon if you want to make any dish that's stronger than “Cloud Nine” Soy Cake.

Cyan Beach	Taupe Hollow	Snordrop Tundra	Lapis Lakeside

Snowdrop Tundra Favorite Berries:	Recommended Dishes

	“Petal Dance” Chocolate Tart	“Stalwart” Vegetable Juice
Recommended Team
Absol	Specialty: Ingredients Soothing Cacao x2 (lv.1) Fancy Apple x8 (lv.30)

Glaceon	Specialty: Skills (Cooking Power-Up S) Moomoo Milk x1 (lv.1) Soothing Cacao x1 (lv.30)
Venusaur	Specialty: Ingredients Honey x2 (lv.1) Honey x5 (lv.30)

For this Snowdrop Tundra team, it is recommended to save your Moomoo Milk for when you want to make the "Flower Gift" Macarons. You won't be getting a lot of this ingredient since Glaceon is your only source, but if it looks like you'll have extra, you can make other dishes.

The Pokemon on this team don't really need to be at level 30, except for Abomasnow who needs to have Fancy Egg unlocked. If you don't have a level 30+ Abomasnow, use any Pokemon you have that can find Fancy Eggs.

Venusaur is the only member of this team that does not collect a favorite Berry. Unfortunately, Honey is a vital dessert ingredient, and Venusaur is one of the best Pokemon who can get it.

Lapis Lakeside Best Dessert Team and Dishes

Cyan Beach	Taupe Hollow	Snordrop Tundra	Lapis Lakeside

Lapis Lakeside Favorite Berries:	Recommended Dishes
	“Flower Gift” Macarons	“Explosion” Popcorn
	“Lovely Kiss” Smoothie	“Petal Dance” Chocolate Tart
Recommended Team
Venusaur	Specialty: Ingredients Honey x2 (lv.1) Honey x5 (lv.30)
Gardevoir	Specialty: Skills (Energy for Everyone S) Fancy Apple x1 (lv.1) Greengrass Corn x1 (lv.30)
Meganium	Specialty: Berries Soothing Cacao x1 (lv.1) Soothing Cacao x2 (lv.30)

Delibird	Specialty: Ingredients Fancy Egg x2 (lv.1) Fancy Apple x6 (lv.30)
Toxicroak (optional)	Specialty: Ingredients Pure Oil x2 (lv.1)

For this team, you can swap in Toxicroak for Delibird whenever you need Pure Oil for “Explosion” Popcorn. Otherwise, it's better to have Delibird as your main team member.

You don't necessarily need any Pokemon on this team to be at level 30 unless you want to make use of Gardevoir's Greengrass Corn ingredient. Since most of the Pokemon on this team are not Ingredients Specialty Pokemon, though, having them at higher levels is ideal.

Best Dessert/Drink Pokemon and Recipes

Best Pokemon to Make Desserts/Drinks

Pokemon	Berry | Ingredients	Skill
Venusaur	| Ingredients Specialty	Ingredient Magnet S
Blastoise	| Ingredients Specialty	Ingredient Magnet S
Golem	| Ingredients Specialty	Charge Strength S
Pinsir	| Ingredients Specialty	Charge Strength S
Absol	| Ingredients Specialty	Charge Strength S
Delibird	| Ingredients Specialty	Ingredient Magnet S

Honey, Moomoo Milk, and Fancy Apple are dessert staples. Most dessert and drink recipes require at least one of those ingredients, making the Ingredient Pokemon that can find them so valuable for Desserts/Drinks request weeks.

Delibird is the only Ingredients Specialty Pokemon that can obtain the Fancy Egg ingredient at level 1, which is required for a lot of high-Strength dishes. This is the same with Absol and the Soothing Cacao ingredient.

Golem has a niche role where it really is only recommended for Taupe Hollow or Greengrass Isle with Sitrus as a favorite Berry. Golem picks up dessert ingredients, but they're not for any particularly strong dishes.

Best Dessert/Drink Recipes

For Sunday with Increased Pot Capacity

Dish	Recipe	Base Strength
“Flower Gift” Macarons	・ Soothing Cacao x25 ・ Fancy Egg x25 ・ Honey x17 ・ Moomoo Milk x10 Total ingredients: 77	13834
Jigglypuff's Fruity Flan	・ Honey x20 ・ Fancy Egg x15 ・ Moomoo Milk x10 ・ Fancy Apple x10 Total ingredients: 55	7594

To be able to make "Flower Gift" Macarons on Sunday without a Good Camp Set, you need at least 150 Sleep Styles to expand your cooking pot to a 39-ingredient capacity. This pot capacity should be doubled on Sunday.

If you don't have that many Sleep Styles yet, you can aim for Jigglypuff's Fruity Flan, which only requires 70 Sleep Styles and a cooking pot expanded to hold 27 ingredients.

If you still need some help expanding your cooking pot, you can use Pokemon with the Cooking Power-Up S skill. The pot expansion this skill provides can stack when triggered multiple times, but it's only valid for one meal.

For Rest of the Week

Dish	Recipe	Base Strength
“Explosion” Popcorn	・ Greengrass Corn x15 ・ Pure Oil x14 ・ Moomoo Milk x7 Total ingredients: 36	6048
Neroli's Restorative Tea	・ Fancy Apple x15 ・ Warming Ginger x11 ・ Tasty Mushroom x9 Total ingredients: 35	5065

“Cloud Nine” Soy Cake	・ Fancy Egg x8 ・ Greengrass Soybeans x7 Total ingredients: 15	1798
“Stalwart” Vegetable Juice	・ Snoozy Tomato x9 ・ Fancy Apple x7 Total ingredients: 16	1798

These are the recipes you should try to make this week depending on your maximum pot capacity and the ingredients you have access to.

"Explosion" Popcorn has the highest base strength of them all, but it requires the Greengrass Corn ingredient which can only be found by the new Lapis Lakeside Pokemon. Neroli's Restorative Tea comes in second, but it requires the Tasty Mushroom ingredient only unlocked at level 30 by a few Pokemon that aren't really good for dessert ingredients.

The rest of these recipes are a bit more beginner-friendly and don't require any rare ingredients. Just choose whichever recipe fits your maximum pot capacity.

How to Expand Cooking Pot

Unlock by Getting 35 Sleep Stlyes

Once you register 35 Sleep Styles, you unlock the ability to expand your cooking pot permanently. You can expand your cooking pot twice per Sleep Style Dex goal reached from this point, with each expansion adding three more ingredient slots.

You can expand your cooking pot by tapping on the max pot limit on the upper right corner of the cooking menu.

All Sleep Style Dex Goals, Unlocks, and Rewards

Use Cooking Power-Up S for a Larger Cooking Pot

Cooking Power-Up S
Magnezone	Flareon	Glaceon

If you're struggling to make all of your recipe ingredients fit into your cooking pot, you can use one of these Pokemon with the Cooking Power-Up S Main Skill. Triggering this skill allows your cooking pot to be expanded temporarily for the next meal you cook. The expansion bonus can stack if you trigger it multiple times before a meal.

Cooking Power-Up S Skill Effect

Use a Good Camp Ticket

Using a Good Camp Set gives a 50% expansion to your cooking pot for one week, in addition to other benefits.

This is particularly useful for weeks when Snorlax requests desserts and drinks since there are high-Strength dessert recipes that have ingredient totals larger than the maximum pot capacity of the highest Sleep Style Dex goal.

Is the Good Camp Ticket Worth It?
