General Recipes

Any combination of 4 items that doesn’t fall into Simple Recipes or Apricorn Recipes will create a specific item depending on the hidden “type” of the first item and the combined, hidden “value” of all 4 items. In the majority of cases, using the same ingredients (in the same order) will always produce the same result (the sweets to evolve "Milcery" IconMilcery are the sole exception).

If you pay Hyde 100 Watts, he’ll give you a recipe for a certain item. While these are sure to work, there are two flaws. Firstly, it’s random what recipe you get from him. Secondly, the ingredients that he suggests may not be the best ones. For instance, he may suggest a Choice Specs, which costs 25 BP at the Battle Tower. However, you can substitute it for a Star Piece, which you can easily find lying around.

No, don’t use any PP Maxes; they’re too valuable. Use a Rare Candy or Bottle Cap if you must.

Instead, we recommend carefully reading through this page and making your own recipes. To begin with, the first ingredient that you choose is always the most important one, because its “type” will determine the list of items you can get. From there, you need to pick 3 other ingredients so that the combined “value” of all 4 ingredients adds up to the “value” that you want; these ingredients can be any type.
