Pokémon Quest: Tips and tricks

Up your Pokémon Quest game with these tips and tricks!

Are you looking for ways to up your Pokémon Quest game on Nintendo Switch? Don't worry about a thing. We have you covered. Here are some tips and tricks to help you become a Pokémon Quest master!

Power Stones

As you progress through the game you will collect various Power Stones. Depending on the type of stone, they can increase your hit points or your attack. There are also stones which can alter the powers which your Pokémon use in battle.

Make sure that you are consistently swapping out lower powered Power Stones for the new higher power stones you receive. This will ensure that you are always at the top of your possible power for your team.

Contrary to popular belief on the subject, bingo isn't just for grandmothers. Bingo is also for Pokémon. When you are slotting Power Stones into your Pokémon always try to slot three in a line whenever possible. If you slot three Power Stones in a row you will get a Bingo Bonus. Each Pokémon has a different bonus. In order to see the bonus, tap on the magnifying glass in the upper right corner. This will show you exactly what benefits you are receiving.

Cooking

As you probably know by now, cooking is a great way to attract new Pokémon. Simply go to your Base Camp, tap on the cooking pot, and start throwing in ingredients. Once you have played for a little while you will get access to a new pot. You can switch pots by tapping the cycle symbol on the lower left of the pot. This new pot takes more ingredients but you will attract higher-level Pokémon.

Another thing to keep in mind as you are trying out new recipes is that the color of your ingredients matter. For the most part, the color of your dish affects what kind of Pokémon come looking for a snack. So if you are trying to find a specific Pokémon and you know that it's red, try adding only red ingredients to your pot.

Decorations

Whether you get them by completing expeditions or by buying them in the Poké Mart, decorating your Base Camp can have great effects on just about every aspect of your game. From simple XP boosts to increased ingredient drops, a decoration can be an effective method of getting where you want to be faster.

Back to the Base Camp

One happy little accident that I stumbled upon was an amazingly simple method of collecting new Pokémon. Any time you are out on an expedition and you encounter a new type of Pokémon in battle you should head back to your base camp. On occasion, you will see that Pokémon just hanging out in your Base Camp with a little exclamation mark above their head. Simply tap on that visiting Pokémon and they will become yours. It doesn't happen every time you encounter a new type of Pokémon but it happens often enough that it's worth heading back to camp just to check.

There's a lot to learn in Pokémon Quest, so we will be sure to update this article as we discover great new tips and tricks to help you in your own adventures. Good luck and happy questing!
