It’s a symbiotic relationship: the more you help Snorlax, the more it helps you attract Pokemon for your sleep research. At a certain point, you will be able to feed Snorlax different meals to increase its power. Here is how that all works.
How Cooking Works In Pokemon Sleep
In Pokemon Sleep, you are able togather ingredients that can then be used in mealsthat you may feed to Snorlax. Different ingredients will result in a variety of meals, and there arerecipes that require certain ingredients to use. You will throw all your ingredients into a pot to cook over your campfire.
you’re able to actuallytap to fan the flames to make your meals cook faster, otherwise cooking will take a longer amount of time to finish.
Once youunlock the ability to cook, you will first only be allowed toAuto-Cookmeals at first. This involves the gameautomatically pulling ingredients from your inventoryand mixing them together. Sometimes this results in an actual recipe, other times it can result in a generic meal.
Themore ingredients you add to a dish will increase the power of the dishyou make. In turn, this will increase the Strength of your Snorlax once it eats the dish. At the start of the game, you can havea maximum of 15 ingredients in the potat a time. You can laterincrease the maximum byusing Dream Shards.
Sometimes, a dish you make can beExtra Tasty, which means it has ahigher Dish Strengththan usual. Each time you make a certain recipe, it will alsoincrease the recipe’s level, which will make it better each time you make it.
How To Unlock Choosing A Recipe
You will needto study 12 different Sleep Stylesin order to unlock the ability to manually create meals for Snorlax. At this point, you will be able tochoose recipes that you have already unlockedor manually choose ingredients to add to a dish.
Each Snorlax will have a preferred taste. Once you can manually make your dishes,you should always cook meals based on what your Snorlax likes.
When Can You Feed Snorlax
Throughout the day, Snorlax can be fed the various berries that your Pokemon collect to increase its Strength. There arethree additional timeframesduring the day when you will be able tocook a meal to feed Snorlax.
6:00am - 12:00pm
12:00pm - 6:00pm
Dinner
6:00pm - 6:00am
In order to begin cooking a meal for Snorlax, you simply need totap on Snorlax when the icon shows up that it is ready for a meal. Whileyou aren’t required to cook during every mealtime, missing one means missing out on a strength boost for your Snorlax.

How To Get Ingredients
There are15 types of ingredientsyou can obtain in Pokemon Sleep, and these are essential to cooking meals. Part of thejob of your helper Pokemon will be to obtain various ingredientsthroughout the day that you can use in meals.
Keep in mind which of your helper Pokemon can provide which ingredients. If you needa specific ingredient, verify you have ahelper Pokemon on your team that can get it. Additionally, the higher a Pokemon’s level is, themore ingredients and types of ingredientsthey can get.
Looking at a Pokemon’sHelping Statswill show you important information that you will need to keep in mind as well. These are separated into four categories:

Certain Pokemon Main Skills and Sub Skills have the potential tohelp you get ingredients,boost the likelihood of finding ingredients, orincrease the number of berries and ingredients the Pokemon can hold on toat one point in time. For example, a Pokemon with theIngredient Magnet SMain Skill willnab you six random ingredients whenever it activates.
If you are low on ingredients, but the timeframe to cook a meal for Snorlax isn’t almost over, you may want togive your helper Pokemon a chance to collect more ingredients.
