Pokemon Sleep utilizes a Cooking system to create numerous dishes from recipes involving the ingredients your Helper Pokemon pick up throughout the day and night. These dishes are then fed to Snorlax to boost Drowsy Power, which adds extra benefits and unlocks the potential for more rare Sleep Styles to be discovered. Because each Snorlax has its own preference for dishes, knowing how to craft different recipes will provide bonuses upon consumption.

To help you out with learning these various dishes, we’ve explained the cooking process and listed them below in full.

What Does Cooking Do in Pokemon Sleep? Answered

In Pokemon Sleep, you can cook for Snorlax to increase Drowsy Power up to three times a day – once each for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. These Cooking times are only available between specific hours, so we’ve listed these below to help you plan out how to prepare all three meals for each day of your Sleep Research.

  • Breakfast: 6:00 AM – 12:00 PM
  •  Lunch: 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
  •  Dinner: 6:00 PM – 6:00 AM

Each time you feed Snorlax a dish, you will receive a big boost to your Drowsy Power meter. As such, ensuring that you prepare all three meals in a day can help to quickly reach the level needed to bring in both more sleeping Pokemon and new Sleep Styles.

Additionally, each time you prepare a dish, the Base Power for that specific dish will increase. This means that the more you cook a meal in repetition, the bigger benefits it will provide to Snorlax’s Drowsy Power. If you add extra ingredients on top of the recipe requirements, the strength of these ingredients will also be added to the dish.

To begin, you will only be able to craft dishes with a maximum of fifteen ingredients. However, after discovering 35 different Sleep Styles, you can increase the size of your Cooking Pot and allow for a higher number of maximum ingredients by spending Dream Shards.

Here’s a summary of the Cooking Pot Levels, including how many maximum ingredients they are capable of holding, and the cost of Dream Shards to upgrade:

How to Cook Meals in Pokemon Sleep, Explained

When you are able to cook a dish in Pokemon Sleep, there will be an indicator above Snorlax stating that there’s an available meal slot.

To begin the cooking process, simply tap on Snorlax’s big ol’ belly. This will open the Cooking prompt, which will indicate what meal slot you will be cooking for (breakfast, lunch, or dinner). From here, click the green ‘Get Cooking’ button to move on to the Cooking menu.

The Cooking menu contains two different options: Auto Cook and Choose a Recipe. Both of these options will result in a delicious meal for your Snorlax to devour, but there are a few key differences that may lead you to pick one method over the other, so we’ve explained them briefly below:

  • Auto Cook will automatically select up to fifteen ingredients from your inventory, depending on how much you have, to create a recipe. This is the quickest and easiest way to cook dishes, but it usually results in very basic results.
  •  Choose a Recipe allows you to select from a list of recipes that you have discovered, which will use the required ingredients from your inventory. However, you can also hand-pick individual ingredients to create a dish in Choose a Recipe mode, which is how you discover recipes that you can later come back to and select. This allows you to get much more specific with your dishes and cater to whatever your Snorlax is craving.

After selecting your dish, the cooking process will automatically begin, showing a small cooking pot with a progress bar. This stage takes no more than a few seconds to complete. However, there’s also a small Magikarp fan in the corner, so don’t forget to tap on him a few times during this stage to enhance the cooking process and add some bonus Dish Strength to the final result.

Once your dish has completed cooking, the outcome will be displayed, labeled with the title of the recipe as the Dish Strength number. To finalize the cooking process, just hit the ‘Finish’ button, and you’ll serve the tasty meal to your very hungry Snorlax.

Snorlax will then devour the meal in a few seconds, before flopping back down to sleep. After completing the cooking process, you will have to wait until the next available time slot occurs to cook again. Because of this, it’s important to take note of which dishes your Snorlax has a preference for, as these will further increase the Drowsy Power intake.
