Crafting
Crafting turns materials you collect into potions, TMs, rods, pickaxes, EXP Shares and Pokémon chests. It has its own level, from 1 to 30: every craft gives crafting XP, and higher-level recipes give more.

Unlock crafting
Section titled “Unlock crafting”Crafting unlocks when you meet Field Crafter Hale on Route 201 in Sinnoh, west of Sandgem Town.
-
Talk to Hale. He asks for two Oran Berries (
Oran Berryx2), which wild
Bidoof in the grass can drop. -
Bring him the berries. This unlocks your first recipe, the
Potion. -
Craft the Potion. Open Skills in the top-right panel and press Crafting at the top. Pick the Potion and press Craft.
-
Talk to Hale again. As a starter bonus he gives you 5 Potions and sends you to Route 202.

More crafting teachers
Section titled “More crafting teachers”Hale’s friends along your Sinnoh journey each unlock more healing recipes when you meet them. Most want to see an item in your bag first. They don’t take it; you craft with it:
| Teacher | Where | Bring | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Field Crafter Hale | Route 201 | ||
| Supply Medic Mira | Route 202 | ||
| Senior Alchemist Corvin | Route 203 | ||
| Apothecary Brewer Tamsin | Route 208 | ||
| Coastal Mixmaster Rellan | Route 213: East | Nothing | |
| Senior Restorative Alchemist Sova | Acuity Lakefront | ||
| Nectar Crafter | Veilstone Research House | See below |
These teachers are side quests: you can skip them and the story carries on.
The Nectar Crafter only teaches you once you have finished Hale’s tutorial and the Horde Researcher’s field study next to him. See Co-op and hordes.
Where to find the other teachers:






The Crafting screen
Section titled “The Crafting screen”Open Skills in the top-right panel and press Crafting at the top of the window. Skills holds two skills, Mining and Crafting, each with your level next to its name. Next to them you see your crafting level and your XP towards the next level, on a red bar.

| Part | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Categories (left) | All, Potions, TMs, Rods, Pickaxes, EXP Shares, Chests and Misc., each with how many recipes it holds |
| Recipe list (middle) | A search box, the History button and every recipe in the category. Search finds a recipe by its name or by an ingredient’s name. |
| Recipe (right) | The recipe you picked: what it makes, its Needs list, the amount and the Craft button |
Each recipe row shows its crafting level, its cost and the crafting XP it gives. On the right, its status says whether you can make it:
- Ready: you can craft it now.
- 1 missing, 2 missing and so on: you lack that many of its ingredients, or the money.
- A lock with Lv 25 or Mining 60: your crafting or mining level is too low.
- A lock with Locked: another requirement is not met yet, such as a quest or a boss win.
A recipe you have just unlocked is marked NEW until you look at it. The Skills button glows when you unlock new recipes, and then opens straight on Crafting.
Making a recipe
Section titled “Making a recipe”-
Pick the recipe. Its Needs list shows everything it takes, each with what you have and what you need: your crafting level, any other requirement, the money if you can’t pay it, and each ingredient. Lines you don’t meet are red.
-
Set the amount. Use the − and + buttons (hold one to count faster), type a number, or press Max for as many as you can make. You can craft up to 99 at once, and the Needs list counts for the amount you set.
-
Press Craft. The button shows the total cost. On a computer the recipe also shows the total crafting XP. Every ingredient is used up, including blueprints and the old rod a better rod is made from.
Recipe requirements
Section titled “Recipe requirements”Besides your crafting level, a recipe can ask for:
- Fishing or mining level: rods need a fishing level, pickaxes a mining level.
- A quest or a boss win: for example “Defeat Boss Azelf on Azelf Cavern” or beating one of Sinnoh’s Elite Four. Once you have beaten the boss, the recipe stays unlocked.
- Rerun wins: winning the repeatable rematch (rerun) of a Jvaloh boss such as a Gym Leader a number of times, for example 5 Ghadafi rerun wins. Its line in Needs shows your progress, such as 2 / 5.
Until you meet them, the recipe’s row shows a lock, and the requirement’s line in Needs is red.

Crafting History
Section titled “Crafting History”History (a clock on a phone) opens Crafting History: your all-time totals (money spent, items crafted, total crafts and XP earned), what you craft and use most, and every craft you have made, page by page. Tap a craft to see what it used. Share to Chat posts your totals in chat.
Costume tickets
Section titled “Costume tickets”While you hold a costume bundle ticket from a Casino chest, a Tickets category appears under Exchange, last on the list. Pick the costume you want, for example the male or the female version, and press Exchange. The category goes away once you have no ticket left.
On a phone
Section titled “On a phone”On a phone the same parts are rearranged to fit:
- Sideways: a column of buttons down the left holds Mining, Crafting, search and History. The categories become a row you scroll sideways, with Tickets first while you hold one. The recipe list and the recipe sit side by side, and your level and XP move up next to the window’s title.
- Upright: those four buttons sit in a row at the top, and the recipe list fills the window. Tap a recipe to open it, and the back arrow takes you back to the list.

Where to find ingredients
Section titled “Where to find ingredients”Most ingredients are ordinary items. These are the ones players ask about most:
| Ingredient | Where to get it |
|---|---|
| Wild |
|
| Wild |
|
| Wild |
|
| A mining reward. Mining starts in Hoenn, so until then you can only buy one from another player, for example at the Trade House | |
| Wild |
|
| Daycare Token Shop in each Daycare (45 Daycare Tokens); see Daycare | |
| Exp Share blueprints | Daycare Token Shop (500 Daycare Tokens each) |
| Mythic and Aether Rod Blueprint | The Master Fisherman; see Fishing |
| Gold, Platinum and Diamond Pickaxe Blueprint | The Blueprint Guru; see Mining |
| Fossil parts (Fossilized Carapace, Petalized Coral and others) | Fossil Pokémon from fossil chests; see Mining |
| Mining and Origin Ore rewards | |
| Fishing treasure chests; the |
|
| Wild Pokémon, treasure chests and Pirate Jack in the Abandoned Ships; fishing treasure chests. See Diving | |
| Will, Emotion and Knowledge Core | The |
| Ice, Rock and Steel Core | The |
| The |
|
| Legendary mining rewards (Moon Core from Dark ore only) | |
| Legendary Origin Ore reward |
For other wild drops, see Wild drops or the Pokémon locations pages, which list what each Pokémon can drop.
Levelling Crafting fast
Section titled “Levelling Crafting fast”Each craft gives the crafting XP shown in its recipe row, times the amount you make. A batch gives the same XP as crafting one at a time, so set a high amount, or press Max, and craft them all at once. The top of the window shows your XP towards the next level.
The climb gets steep: level 1 to 2 takes 320 XP, but level 29 to 30 takes 44,308 XP. Reaching level 30 takes 409,624 XP in all.
Potions and Ethers give cheap, steady XP that you can repeat as often as you like. TMs give far more XP per craft, but each costs money and a
Broken TM Disk. These give the most XP for their cost, listed by the crafting level that unlocks them:
| From crafting level | Craft | XP each | You need |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 75 | ||
| 1 | 12 | ||
| 3 | TM226 Dragon Cheer | 565 | 7,000 F, |
| 7 | 35 | ||
| 7 | TM128 Amnesia | 565 | 7,000 F, |
| 12 | TM075 Light Screen | 678 | 7,000 F, TM128 Amnesia, |
| 14 | TM133 Earth Power | 200 | 10 TM005 Mud-Slap or 10 TM028 Bulldoze |
The Ether, Super Potion and Hyper Potion recipes unlock when you meet their crafting teachers. TM075 Light Screen is made from a TM128 Amnesia, so it adds 678 XP without using up another Broken TM Disk.
Where the ingredients come from:
- Potions: any Poké Mart sells them for 50 F each.
- Leppa Berries and Broken TM Disks: see where to find ingredients.
- Dragon Fang: wild
Gible drop it, and the Daycare Token Shop sells it for 75 Daycare Tokens. - Twisted Spoon and Heart Scale: wild
Kadabra and
Abra drop Twisted Spoons, and wild
Luvdisc drop Heart Scales. See Wild drops. - TM005 and TM028: both are mining rewards.

Crafts you only make once also pay well: a pickaxe gives 1,388–2,588 XP, a rod 1,988–2,588 XP and a crafted Exp Share 848–1,988 XP.
