Pokémon Pokopia · Specialties

What every Specialty does.

Each Pokémon you befriend has a Specialty (up to two), shown in the Pokédex. The helper you travel with uses its specialty for gathering, building, crafting, and cooking. Some specialties also unlock cooking recipes.

Cooking gates

These six specialties unlock a specific recipe. Assign a helper with that specialty to cook it.
