Poffins are a Pokemon’s treat of choice, and you can reward your Pokemon with them to show your affection. You can also increase different attributes for your Pokemon before a Show Contest by using specific Poffins. There are a few different types of Poffins you can make, and the ingredients you use will influence the outcome. Here’s everything you need to know about the Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Poffin recipes.
To make Poffins in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, you will need to be at Hearthome City at the Poffin House. In case you forgot, the Poffin House is directly next to the Poke Mart. Walk inside and speak with the lady and choose the option that says, “I’d like to cook.” The process is quite simple: use your analog stick(s) to spin the ingredients in the specified direction. Start slow and increase the speed without making it spill or allowing it to burn.
Before diving into making Poffins with rare items, saving your game and turning off the auto-save feature could be a good idea. That way, you can revert to your save state in case you mess up a recipe since you’ll be using some rare ingredients.
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Poffin Recipes
Here are the Poffin recipes in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl:
| Flavor | Effect | Poffin Recipe |
| Bitter | Smart | Rawst, Lum, Nanab, Aguav, Haban, Jaboca |
| Dry | Beauty | Chesto, Oran, Wiki, Pamtre, Charti, Micle |
| Sour | Tough | Aspear, Sitrus, Lapapa, Wepear, Colbur, Rowap |
| Spicy | Cool | Cheri, Leppa, Figy, Pinap, Tanga, Enigma |
| Sweet | Cute | Pecha, Persim, Mago, Bluk, Kasib, Custap |
| Mild | Many | Any berries not in the list above |
Different berries result in different types of Poffins. Rare ingredients generally result in higher-level Poffins and properly cooking them also influences the outcome. Using ingredients from the categories above will result in the corresponding Poffin flavor and effect.
For example, if you’d like to evolve Feebas into Milotic, you can use one Chesto and one Wiki to make a high-level Dry Poffin. Alternatively, you can use one Oran and one Chesto. As long as you do not use more than one of the same berry and do not burn or spill it, the result will be a Dry Beauty Poffin.
Why am I getting Foul Poffins in Pokemon BDSP?
If you are having an issue where you keep getting a Foul Poffin, it is likely because you are using two or more of the same berry for ingredients. For example, you don’t want to use two or more Nanab berries to make one Bitter Poffin, or the result will be a Foul Poffin.
