How to get all Bubbly Basin ingredients in Pokopia
There are two ingredients exclusive to the Bubbly Basin area in Pokopia. Here’s how to find and get both of these key cooking items.
- Watermelon slice – Unlock Corphish and chat with them about growing watermelon. Get Mudkip by building a basin tall grass or fluffy relaxation habitat, then have them blow bubbles on the watermelon crops. Lead Corphish to the crops Mudkip took care of to then have them grow into full watermelons. Lastly, build the seaweed and netting habitat to summon Carvanha, a chopping specialist. Bring fully grown watermelons to them to have Carvanha chop them up into watermelon slices for cooking.
- Sea grape – Can be found growing in the wild all around Bubbly Basin. You can also acquire sea grape seeds in the shop sometimes, or find them as a treasure while exploring, and plant them as a crop.
How to get the Blender in Pokopia Bubbly Basin
To make most of the Bubbly Basin recipes, you need to unlock the Blender tool. You can acquire this item by unlocking Mudkip, one of the Bubbly Basin exclusive Pokémon, and progressing through the main storyline until you get the Smoothie Making quest. Once you reach this task, you can then craft a Blender using two Pokémetal.
You need to work with lots of Pokémon to successfully get everything you need to cook up these dishes, so focus on making all Bubbly Basin Habitats early on to make this process easier to work through. It’s also a good idea to unlock Portal Pods so you can have an easier time transporting key cooking ingredients around.
