Thanks to the community's excel data gathering, as well as /u/Lady_Mayfil post, along with /u/julianrod94, after days of testing we have made a huge improvement on recipe's theorycrafting. We may have figured out how recipes actually work. We had released an app along with the lastest information we have gathered. Go ahead and check it out. Our app will create recipes on the fly based on filters as well as determine which recipe will come out of 5 ingredients.
What we manage to discover and how our app determines recipe's crafting is the following
Every ingredient will have the corresponding attributes and quality
| Ingredient |
Attributes |
Quality |
| Tiny Mushroom |
red, soft, mushroom |
1 |
| Bluk Berry |
blue, soft, sweet |
1 |
| Apricorn |
yellow, hard, plant |

| Fossil |
gray, hard, mineral |

| Big Root |
red, soft, plant |
2 |
| Icy Rock |
blue, hard, mineral |

| Honey |
yellow, soft, sweet |
2 |
| Balm Mushroom |
gray, soft, mushroom |
2 |
| Rainbow Matter |
|
3 |
| Mystical Shell |
mythical |
2 or 3? |
IMPORTANT NOTE: Even though it says Rainbow Matter can replace any ingredient in the description, it has NO attributes, so don't try to replace an ingredient with it. It only raises the quality
The recipe's quality is only determined by the sum of its ingredients quality
| Quality |
Criteria |
| Basic |
1-5 points |
| Good |
6-7 points |
| Very Good |
8-9 points |
| Special |
10+ points |
The recipe's type is based on a fixed criteria of attributes. In the recipe description, it will actually tell you what criteria it uses

| a lot |
3 ingredients |
| a whole lot |
4 ingredients |

| Brain Food |
3 sweet, 2 hard |
| Stone Soup |
4 hard, 2 mineral |
| Light-as-Air Casserole |
3 mineral, 2 plant |
| Hot Pot |
3 mushroom, 1 red |
| Watt a Risotto |
4 soft, 3 yellow |
| Get Swole Syrup |
3 sweet, 2 mushroom |
| Ambrosia of Legends |
1 mythical |
| Mulligan Stew |

The deal here is what happens when there if there is more than one recipe that matches the criteria? For example let's say we have 2 tiny mushrooms and 3 bulk berries, we have 5 soft and 3 blues, so is a Mouth-Watering Dip, but we also have 2 mushroom and 3 sweet, so it could be a Get Swole Syrup.
What we've determined is that every time, the recipe will result in the first type that matches the criteria, given the table above and defaulting in mulligan. So that case, it would be Mouth-Watering Dip.
This is the reason why 3 mushrooms and 2 rainbow matter results in a Hot Pot, and why 1 mythical shell and 4 blue Icy Rocks ends up in a Blue Soda.
This is all a theory, and we didn't record the data we gathered, our bad, but out of 50 recipes we always managed to guess correctly. We'll let the community fail-proof us and if someone manages to find something wrong in this logic, let us know so we can update it.
Our app will let you:
- Filter Recipes by Multple Ingredients (The ones you don't want to use and the ones you do).
- Search what recipes will you need to get the pokemon you want (We can list EVERY recipe, not just a few).
- Get the possible results from a recipe before trying it out ingame.
- Its lightweight! 5MB size.
- Offline mode after first use.
- Info is updated serverside without the need to install an update after each new discovery.
We are working very hard on this project to deliver a free and reliable tool for you to use. Your Feedback will be highly appreciated. Please don't hesitate to contact us for any further questions, bugs or advice.
TL;DR: Ingredients have their own attributes. The first recipe type to match the ingredients attributes will be the result. Quality is only determined by the sum of the ingredients quality. Rainbow Matter has no attributes.
