Ponigiri (Japanese: ぽにぎり ponigiri) is a food that increases the Energy of Pokémon, featured in Pokémon Conquest.

Ponigiri Shop services

Ponigiri can be purchased for instant consumption at a Ponigiri Shop, which is a type of kingdom location found in 10 of Ransei's 17 kingdoms. By investing in a kingdom's Bank, which is another type of kingdom location, the level of a Ponigiri Shop can be increased. This level determines the selection of ponigiri services as follows:

• A level 1 Ponigiri Shop sells ponigiri.
• A level 2 Ponigiri Shop sells ponigiri and red ponigiri.
• A level 3 Ponigiri Shop sells ponigiri, red ponigiri, and blue ponigiri.

The Energy of a Pokémon fluctuates between 5 different levels. A regular ponigiri increases the Energy by 1 level, a red ponigiri by 2 levels, and a blue ponigiri by 3 levels.

Second helpings

Consuming one Ponigiri Shop service uses up the turn of a Warrior, but the Shopkeeper will occasionally offer a second helping. If the Pokémon doesn't eat too much, the Energy will increase to its maximum level. If the Pokémon eats too much, the Energy will decrease. Occasionally, the second helping of ponigiri is missing an ingredient and will do nothing for the Pokémon's Energy level.

Ponigiri items

Ponigiri are also available as single-use held items, consumable in battle. They can be purchased at Shops, a type of kingdom location, but only those in the Ransei kingdoms Pugilis, Chrysalia, Cragspur, Viperia, Nixtorm, and Dragnor. By investing in a kingdom's Bank, which is another type of kingdom location, the level of a Shop can be increased. This level determines the selection of ponigiri items as follows:

• A level 1 Shop sells Ponigiri.
• A level 2 Shop sells Ponigiri and Red Ponigiri.
• A level 3 Shop sells Ponigiri, Red Ponigiri, and Blue Ponigiri.

The Purple Ponigiri, a fourth type of ponigiri item which does not have a corresponding Ponigiri Shop service, can only be bought from a traveling merchant, which is a type of kingdom event.

The Energy of a Pokémon fluctuates between 5 different levels. A regular Ponigiri, when used in battle, increases the Energy by 1 level, a Red Ponigiri by 2 levels, a Blue Ponigiri by 3 levels, and a Purple Ponigiri by 4 levels (guaranteed maximum).
