The new game features the ability to camp with your Pokemon, and one of the things you can do is cook up some curry in a pot. It’s unclear at the moment what the food will do for you, but speculation is that it will give you certain buffs to your Pokemon.

How-to Cook

The specifics of cooking are unknown at this time, but we do know for sure you’ll be able to cook with four people at a time. They’ll be able to help you with some of the following confirmed steps!

Fan the Flames

Looks like you’ll be needing to heat up the pot by fanning the fire beneath it. You’ll be using motion controls, pressing A and moving the joy con in a forward motion.

Stirring

You’ll also be stirring up the ingredients, it looks like you’ll be rotating the R-stick and moving the joy con around.

Put Your Heart Into It!

All cooking needs some love, so to do this you’ll be waiting for the yellow circle to reach a certain point and you will throw your heart into the pot using the motion controls. This is kind of like catching Pokemon in Pokemon Go!
