Selecting Ingredients
There are two core ingredients to thenew Curry featureinPokemon SwordandShield. The first is the Key Ingredient, which simply dictates which kind of Curry will be made. The second ingredient is Berries, up to 10 of which can be added to a Curry.
Each Berry has a different range of flavors, as seen in the graph below. Focusing on one of these flavors is the way to produce a high-quality product. Also, therarer the Berryis, the stronger its flavor and the more chance of producing a good Curry.
Master Chef
To cook the best Curry, players will need to complete the three cooking stages perfectly. While fanning the flames, make sure that the flames are the perfect size, indicated by sparkles andexcited Pokemon. Don’t stir too quickly, as this will spill the Curry and lower its quality. When the time comes to add heart, make sure the love is on the inner green ring, which will complete the final step.
Depending on the rarity and flavor of the Berries used, as well as the competency of the cooking, the Curry can come in five different rarities. These rarity levels are listed below, in descending order of quality.
