[[File:Poffin Case.png|thumb|220px|Poffins and a Poffin Case]]
A '''Poffin''' (Japanese: '''ポフィン''' ''Poffin'') is an [[item]], introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Its name is a {{wp|portmanteau}} of the words [[Pokémon]] and {{wp|muffin}}. However, despite the name, it seems to bear a closer resemblance to a {{wp|bun}} or a {{wp|cookie}}.
A '''Poffin''' (Japanese: '''ポフィン''' ''Poffin'') is a type of [[Pokémon food]] which appears in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, as well as their [[remake]]s, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. Its name is a {{wp|portmanteau}} of the words Pokémon and {{wp|muffin}}. However, despite the name, it seems to bear a closer resemblance to a {{wp|bun}} or a {{wp|cookie}}.


Poffins are similar to [[Pokéblock]]s in the sense that they raise either the Beauty, Tough, Cute, Cool, or Smart condition of a [[Pokémon]] in a {{pkmn|Contest}}. However, they are different in how they are created. As in the third generation, Pokémon favor different types of flavor depending on their [[nature]]. Poffins also raise [[Happiness]].
Like [[Pokéblock]]s, Poffins are used to raise Pokémon's {{OBP|Cool|condition}}, [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty]], {{OBP|Cute|condition}}, [[Clever (condition)|Smart]], and {{OBP|Tough|condition}} [[Contest condition|conditions]]. These conditions boost the Pokémon's score in the Visual Competition in [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s and [[Super Contest Show]]s. Pokémon favor different [[flavor]]s of Poffin depending on their [[Nature]].


In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the only way to obtain Poffins was to make them at the [[Poffin House]]. However, in {{game|Platinum}} some Poffins may also be purchased in the [[Veilstone Department Store#B1F: Contest Tools (Platinum only)|Veilstone Department Store basement]]. In Platinum, Poffins can be made via Wi-Fi as well.
In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], although Poffins do not appear, the tops of the [[Hometown Muffin]] and the [[Jubilife Muffin]] have a similar appearance to a Poffin.
 
==Obtaining Poffins==
[[File:Making Poffins.png|thumb|250px|Making Poffins in Amity Square]]
The player receives the [[Poffin Case]] from the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]] in [[Hearthome City]]. Once they have the Poffin Case, they can obtain and make Poffins.
 
The primary way to obtain Poffins is to make them at the [[Poffin House]] or in the [[Pokémon Wi-Fi Club]]. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Poffins can additionally be made at [[Amity Square]] alongside the player's Pokémon which enables higher level Poffins to be made more readily.
 
One time only, the player can receive a level 60 Mild Poffin with 40 smoothness from [[Jordan]] at the [[Contest Hall|Hearthome Super Contest Hall]]. This Poffin uniquely boosts all five Contest conditions at once, which is impossible for Poffins made by the player. In {{game|Platinum}}, the player can buy level 32 Poffins with 20 smoothness from [[Veilstone Department Store]] B1F. These Poffins always have two [[flavor]]s that both have a strength of 32.


==Making Poffins==
==Making Poffins==
In order to create a Poffin, each player must have a [[Poffin Case]] and at least one [[Berry]]. Once these items are obtained, the player must go to [[Hearthome City]], and then head to the the [[Poffin House]], which is west of the [[Poké Mart]].  
===Cooking===
The player can cook Poffins alone or in a group of up to four players. At the [[Poffin House]], the player can cook alone, or with other players via Nintendo DS wireless communication; in the [[Pokémon Wi-Fi Club]], the player can cook with other players via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. In Generation IV, each player is limited to contributing a single Berry to the recipe, while in Generation VIII, a single player can select up to four berries at once to cook with offline.
 
To create Poffins, the players need to stir Poffin batter in a pot while it cooks. In the original games, the pot containing the batter appears on the Nintendo DS system's lower screen, where the player must use their stylus to stir the batter. In the remakes, the left and/or right sticks can be used to stir the pot. If the player does not stir the batter quickly enough, the Poffin batter may burn, but if they stir it too quickly it will spill.
 
While cooking, an arrow will appear indicating the direction in which the player should stir the mixture (clockwise or counter-clockwise), which disappears once the player begins stirring in that direction. As long as the mixture is not being stirred in the wrong direction, after a short period of time another arrow will appear indicating the new direction to stir; this can be either the same direction as before or the opposite direction. The Poffin will always be cooked after one minute has elapsed, but stirring quickly in the correct direction lowers the cooking time, resulting in stronger flavors in the produced Poffin. Stirring in either direction will prevent the Poffin from burning, but stirring in the wrong direction will not decrease the cooking time. If multiple players are cooking together, they must all work together to spin the same batter.
 
As the Poffin cooks, the mixture becomes thicker, making it harder to stir, but also harder to spill.
*In the first stage, the flames under the pot are orange and the mixture is pale. It is doughy and easy to spill.
*In the second stage, the flames turn red and the mixture starts to brown. It requires faster stirring to spin at the same speed, making it much harder to spill.
*In the final stage, the flames turn blue and the mixture becomes dark brown. It requires even faster stirring in order to spin, but it is now impossible to spill no matter how fast it is stirred.
 
Once the batter is fully cooked, the player receives the Poffins they have created. Each player receives a number of identical Poffins equal to the number of Berries used (so cooking alone in Generation IV will only ever produce one Poffin).
 
===Flavors===
The Poffin's flavors depend on the flavors of the Berries used to produce it. Each flavor is weakened by another flavor, so the presence of one flavor will decrease the strength of another. The strength of each flavor determines how much a Poffin will affect each of a Pokémon's [[Contest condition|conditions]].

|-

| style="background:#{{spicy color}}" | Spicy
| style="background:#{{sour color}}" | Sour
| style="background:#{{bitter color}}" | Bitter
| style="background:#{{sweet color}}; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Sweet
|}
 
If each Berry used in the Poffin is different from the others, the flavors in the resulting Poffin are calculated as follows:
# Add together the respective flavors of all Berries being used (sum all spicy values, all dry values, and so on).
# For each Berry flavor total, subtract the Berry flavor total of that flavor's weakening flavor as per the table above (e.g. spicy is weakened by dry, sour is weakened by spicy, etc.).
# Subtract 1 from each flavor for every flavor that is negative.
# Multiply all flavors by 60 divided by the number of seconds taken to cook, then subtract the number of times the mixture was burned or spilled. Round to the nearest integer.
# Set any flavors that are now negative to 0.
# If any flavors are greater than 99 (Generation IV) or 100 (Generation VIII), set those flavors to that limit.
 
If two or more copies of the same Berry are used, or all flavors are 0 (due to a large number of burns or spills), the Poffin will instead become a Foul Poffin, which boosts three random conditions by 2.
 
The final cook time is displayed in hundredths of a second. However, the game only records the time elapsed to 1/30th of a second, so the time will always end in 3, 6, or 0. In Generation VIII, it is possible for the digits after the decimal point to display as 100, which is simply a full extra second, so a time that displays "0:47.100" is treated as 0:48.00.
 
===Poffin level===
The Poffin's level is equal to the strength of its strongest flavor. For example, a Poffin with 8 sweetness and 12 spiciness will be Level 12. The level can be improved by making the Poffin in a shorter time, and by minimizing the number of burns and spills, as detailed in the above procedure. The highest possible level for a Poffin is thus 99 in Generation IV, or 100 in Generation VIII.
 
====Example====
Suppose a Poffin is created using a [[Bluk Berry]], [[Nanab Berry]], and [[Wepear Berry]]. Consider the case where cooking takes the maximum 60 seconds, without spilling or burning.

Each player will receive three Level 8 Bitter-Sour Poffins with 17 smoothness.
 
On the other hand, if cooking were to be completed in 40 seconds, the flavors would be as follows.

| 0 || 0 || 0 || 12 || 12
|}
Each player will receive three Level 12 Bitter-Sour Poffins with 17 smoothness.
 
====Base flavor levels====
When cooking with one Berry (which is always the case when cooking alone in Generation IV), each Berry can be viewed as having a base strength for each Poffin flavor, which is then boosted by cooking faster than the maximum and decreased by spilling or burning the mixture. Since flavors that are already negative can only become more negative, they can be treated as 0, even though this is not performed until later in the algorithm.
 
Poffin levels can be improved by making the Poffin in a shorter time. The level of the cooked Poffin is equal to <math display="inline">\mathrm{round}(base \cdot \frac{60}{time} - errors)</math>, where <code>base</code> is the base level, <code>time</code> is the time taken, and <code>errors</code> is the total number of burns and spills. (If this level would be less than 0, it becomes 0 instead.)
 
For example, when with a single Berry, an [[Aguav Berry]] has a base bitterness of 14 (other flavors have a base strength of 0). This means completing in 60 seconds with 0 burns and spills will yield a level 14 Poffin: <math display="inline">14 \times 1 = 14</math>. If, however, the Poffin was created in 40 seconds, it would be <math display="inline">14 \times {60 \over 40} = 21</math>.

From there, the player must talk to the NPC in front of what is a pot to create Poffins. Poffins may be made by either the player alone or with up to four friends via the DS's built in local wireless feature. After this, the player chooses a berry, similar to how Pokéblocks are made. Using the stylus, the player must stir the Poffin's dough around until it turns brown and spotted. The player should note that only 100 Poffins can be stored.  
===Poffin types===
Poffin types depend on the number and strength of flavors present.


===Overflows and burns===
If a Poffin is created using two or more of the same Berry, or if all of its flavors end up being 0 or less, it becomes a Foul Poffin, which is black in color. A Foul Poffin has three random flavors with 2 strength, ignoring the flavors of the constituent Berries.
Players may notice that while making a Poffin, they have to stir it at a certain speed. Otherwise, it could overflow or burn. Spills are caused by stirring too fast, and burns are caused by stirring too slow. Beginners often have trouble changing directions, causing many burnt Poffins.  
:*In the first stage of the Poffin, it is doughy and easy to spill. The color of the flames around the edge of the Poffin Pot will be orange. It is wise to start slow to prevent spillage, but not too slow to prevent burning it.  


:* At the second stage, the batter's "middle stage," the flames will turn red and the dough brown. A faster stir is to be used, though it is still possible to spill.
If the Poffin is Level 50 or higher, it is a Mild Poffin, which is gold with lighter yellow sprinkles on top. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, if a Poffin is Level 95 or higher and was cooked without any overflows or burns, it is a Super Mild Poffin, which has a rainbow-striped coloration with the same yellow sprinkles as the Mild Poffin.


:* Once the flames around the edge of the Poffin Pot turn blue, it will be impossible to spill dough, so the player should stir as fast as possible until the Poffin is complete.  
Otherwise, if there is only one flavor present, the Poffin will be named after that flavor. If there are two flavors, the Poffin will be named after both flavors, with the stronger flavor first; if both flavors have the same strength, they are prioritized in the following order: Spicy, Dry, Sweet, Bitter, Sour. These Poffins are colored based on their primary flavor, with sprinkles of the second flavor's color for two-flavored Poffins.


The faster the Poffin is made, the higher its level will be. The more players that worked together to cook the Poffin, the more Poffins they will each get: a player alone will cook only one Poffin, but four players working together will each get four Poffins.
If there are three flavors, the Poffin is a Rich Poffin, which is a medium gray color. If there are four flavors, the Poffin is an Overripe Poffin, which is a light gray color.


===Smoothness===
===Smoothness===
Smoothness determines how much the Pokémon's fur (sheen) meter is affected. A lower smoothness means that the fur meter does not fill up as much when feeding a Poffin to a Pokémon. Therefore, since Pokémon can no longer eat Poffins when their fur meter is maxed, it is best to aim for a low smooth rating in order to increase the amount of Poffins one can feed a Pokémon.
{{incomplete|section|Determine how different levels of synchronization/friendship affect the smoothness reduction}}
:''See also: [[Smoothness#List of Berries' smoothness|Smoothness → List of Berries' smoothness]]''
The smoothness of a Poffin is equal to the average [[smoothness]] of the Berries used (rounded down), minus the number of Berries used, minus any applicable bonus reduction. This can be expressed as the following formula (where ''n'' is the number of Berries used):
<math display="block">\mathrm{smoothness_{poffin}} = \left\lfloor \dfrac{\sum^{n} \mathrm{smoothness_{berry}}}{n} \right\rfloor - n - bonus</math>
 
In Generation IV, if two or more players are cooking Poffins together and their stirring motions are all synchronized, a sparkling trail will appear on each game's touch screen.<ref name="sync">[https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5801326 【ポケモンDPｔ】筆跡シンクロでポフィンを作る参考動画]</ref> The Poffin's smoothness will then be reduced by between 1 and 10 points, depending on how much of the stirring was synchronized enough to earn sparkles. The stirring itself is also more effective this way, allowing for lower cook times and thus higher-level Poffins that the Pokémon can eat more of before they get full.
 
In Generation VIII, the bonus reduction to smoothness is instead earned by cooking at [[Amity Square]], and is based on how many of the player's party Pokémon are eligible for the park and have been herded up prior to cooking, as well as the [[friendship]] levels of those Pokémon. With a full party of Pokémon at maximum friendship which are all eligible for Amity Square, the largest possible smoothness reduction in this generation is 9 points.
 
The highest legally obtainable smoothness of a Poffin is 59, by using a single Berry with 60 smoothness. The lowest obtainable smoothness is 6 in Generation IV, or 7 in Generation VIII, by using four berries that each have 20 smoothness and getting the maximum available bonus reduction.
 
The Berries of each smoothness are listed below.

==Feeding Poffins==
===Condition===
When a Pokémon is fed a Poffin, its [[Contest condition]]s are normally increased by an amount equal to the strength of the corresponding flavor. If the primary flavor of a Poffin matches the favorite flavor of the Pokémon it is fed to, the Pokémon will "happily" eat the Poffin, and the value of all of that Poffin's condition increases, not just the one associated with the chosen flavor, will be multiplied by 1.1 (rounded down). If the primary flavor matches the Pokémon's disliked flavor instead, the Pokémon will "disdainfully" eat the Poffin, and all condition increases will be multiplied by 0.9 (rounded down).


==Types of Poffins==
A Pokémon's liked and disliked flavor are determined by its [[nature]]. Some Pokémon neither like nor dislike any flavors.

===Sheen===
{{main|Sheen}}
Whenever a Pokémon eats a Poffin, that Poffin's smoothness is added to the Pokémon's sheen, up to a maximum of 255 sheen. Pokémon initially have 0 sheen. If a Pokémon has 255 sheen, it can no longer eat any Poffins. Sheen is permanent and cannot be reset.
If a Pokémon eats a Poffin that would cause its sheen to exceed 255, instead its sheen becomes 255 (but the Pokémon's condition stats are still increased by the Poffin's full amount as normal). For example, a Poffin created using only a [[Wiki Berry]] will have a smoothness of 24, meaning that a Pokémon could consume a maximum of 11 Poffins made from single Wiki Berries. The sheen will be 240 after the tenth, and would be 264 after the eleventh if not for the limit.

==In the anime==
Poffins were introduced in ''[[DP025|Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan]]'', where the group were given a course in making Poffins. Brock was naturally the best on the first try, but Dawn soon produced good-quality Poffins after a bit of practice. Ash, however, was not so successful. Since then, {{an|Dawn}} has occasionally been seen giving Poffins to her Pokémon as treats for good performances. {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Swinub|Mamoswine}} are particularly fond of them, which may indicate their [[nature]] is one that enjoys sweet flavors.
[[File:Poffin anime.png|thumb|250px|Poffins in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
In the anime, Poffins were introduced in ''[[DP025|Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan!]]'', in which {{an|Dawn}} saw a poster for a Poffin cooking class and convinced {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} to take the class with her. She told them that Poffins are snacks made from {{Berries}} and Ash quickly associated them with [[Hoenn]]'s [[Pokéblock]]s. Dawn also mentioned that Poffins are given to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to keep them healthy and looking good and revealed that she used to help [[Johanna|her mother]] when she was making Poffins.
 
The class was taught by [[Forsythia]], who explained that in order to make Poffins, one has to put the Berries in a pot of cold water and turn the heat up while stirring without interruptions, since the constant stirring is what gives Poffins their [[flavor]]. Brock wrote down these instructions on a notebook, which helped him when he and the others were making Poffins by themselves. Dawn used the {{DL|Pokétch|Kitchen Timer}} on her [[Pokétch]] to time her cooking, explaining to Ash that Poffins may burn if kept on the heat too long.
 
[[File:Burnt Poffins.png|thumb|left|250px|A plate of burnt Poffins]]
Once Dawn's Poffin dough was fully cooked down, she poured it into the mold, with Brock watching closely and taking notes. Unlike Dawn and Brock, Ash had trouble stirring and ended up with a plate full of burnt Poffins. When the group brought their Pokémon out of their [[Poké Ball]]s to eat the Poffins, {{cat|Brock's Pokémon}} seemed to like his Poffins, while {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} rejected his burnt Poffins to eat the ones Forsythia had made. {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon}} did not like the Poffins she had prepared and she became confused since she had used the recipe Johanna always uses when making Poffins for her {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}}. Although her Pokémon disliked the snacks, {{MTR}} from {{TRT}} loved it. Later, Dawn tried a different recipe she made especially for her Pokémon, and this time {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} all approved the taste of her Poffins.
 
[[File:Dawn giving Poffins.png|thumb|250px|Dawn giving Poffins to her Pokémon]]
Since then, Dawn has often been seen giving Poffins to her Pokémon, either to motivate them during {{pkmn|training}} sessions or to compensate them for their efforts in [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Pachirisu is particularly fond of them and its love of Poffins has been featured in multiple episodes. In ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'', Pachirisu came back to its senses after the scent of a Poffin Dawn had tossed in the air captured its attention. In ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'', it started a rivalry with [[Ursula's Gabite]] after she stepped on its Poffin. [[Ursula]] offered one of her own Poffins to Pachirisu, but it refused, causing Ursula to take offense.


Twice in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', Dawn gave {{an|Shaymin}} some of her Poffins, which Shaymin enjoyed. However, they seemed to cause Shaymin to need to release smoke through its mouth after swallowing.
Dawn was also seen making Poffins in ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]'' during her stay at [[Mr. Backlot]]'s {{si|Pokémon Mansion|mansion}}. A gluttonous {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} living in the [[Trophy Garden]] found her Poffins to be delicious and could not get enough of them. It was later {{pkmn2|caught}} by Dawn. Dawn's Poffins also appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where Dawn gave {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}} some of her Poffins, which Shaymin enjoyed. However, they seemed to cause Shaymin to need to release smoke through its mouth after swallowing.

Poffins and a Poffin Case

A Poffin (Japanese: ポフィン Poffin) is a type of Pokémon food which appears in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, as well as their remakes, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Its name is a portmanteau of the words Pokémon and muffin. However, despite the name, it seems to bear a closer resemblance to a bun or a cookie.

Like Pokéblocks, Poffins are used to raise Pokémon's Cool, Beauty, Cute, Smart, and Tough conditions. These conditions boost the Pokémon's score in the Visual Competition in Pokémon Super Contests and Super Contest Shows. Pokémon favor different flavors of Poffin depending on their Nature.

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, although Poffins do not appear, the tops of the Hometown Muffin and the Jubilife Muffin have a similar appearance to a Poffin.

Obtaining Poffins

Making Poffins in Amity Square

The player receives the Poffin Case from the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman in Hearthome City. Once they have the Poffin Case, they can obtain and make Poffins.

The primary way to obtain Poffins is to make them at the Poffin House or in the Pokémon Wi-Fi Club. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Poffins can additionally be made at Amity Square alongside the player's Pokémon which enables higher level Poffins to be made more readily.

One time only, the player can receive a level 60 Mild Poffin with 40 smoothness from Jordan at the Hearthome Super Contest Hall. This Poffin uniquely boosts all five Contest conditions at once, which is impossible for Poffins made by the player. In Pokémon Platinum, the player can buy level 32 Poffins with 20 smoothness from Veilstone Department Store B1F. These Poffins always have two flavors that both have a strength of 32.

Making Poffins

Cooking

The player can cook Poffins alone or in a group of up to four players. At the Poffin House, the player can cook alone, or with other players via Nintendo DS wireless communication; in the Pokémon Wi-Fi Club, the player can cook with other players via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. In Generation IV, each player is limited to contributing a single Berry to the recipe, while in Generation VIII, a single player can select up to four berries at once to cook with offline.

To create Poffins, the players need to stir Poffin batter in a pot while it cooks. In the original games, the pot containing the batter appears on the Nintendo DS system's lower screen, where the player must use their stylus to stir the batter. In the remakes, the left and/or right sticks can be used to stir the pot. If the player does not stir the batter quickly enough, the Poffin batter may burn, but if they stir it too quickly it will spill.

While cooking, an arrow will appear indicating the direction in which the player should stir the mixture (clockwise or counter-clockwise), which disappears once the player begins stirring in that direction. As long as the mixture is not being stirred in the wrong direction, after a short period of time another arrow will appear indicating the new direction to stir; this can be either the same direction as before or the opposite direction. The Poffin will always be cooked after one minute has elapsed, but stirring quickly in the correct direction lowers the cooking time, resulting in stronger flavors in the produced Poffin. Stirring in either direction will prevent the Poffin from burning, but stirring in the wrong direction will not decrease the cooking time. If multiple players are cooking together, they must all work together to spin the same batter.

As the Poffin cooks, the mixture becomes thicker, making it harder to stir, but also harder to spill.

  • In the first stage, the flames under the pot are orange and the mixture is pale. It is doughy and easy to spill.
  • In the second stage, the flames turn red and the mixture starts to brown. It requires faster stirring to spin at the same speed, making it much harder to spill.
  • In the final stage, the flames turn blue and the mixture becomes dark brown. It requires even faster stirring in order to spin, but it is now impossible to spill no matter how fast it is stirred.

Once the batter is fully cooked, the player receives the Poffins they have created. Each player receives a number of identical Poffins equal to the number of Berries used (so cooking alone in Generation IV will only ever produce one Poffin).

Flavors

The Poffin's flavors depend on the flavors of the Berries used to produce it. Each flavor is weakened by another flavor, so the presence of one flavor will decrease the strength of another. The strength of each flavor determines how much a Poffin will affect each of a Pokémon's conditions.

Flavor Spicy Sour Bitter Sweet Dry
Weakened by... Dry Spicy Sour Bitter Sweet

If each Berry used in the Poffin is different from the others, the flavors in the resulting Poffin are calculated as follows:

  1. Add together the respective flavors of all Berries being used (sum all spicy values, all dry values, and so on).
  2. For each Berry flavor total, subtract the Berry flavor total of that flavor's weakening flavor as per the table above (e.g. spicy is weakened by dry, sour is weakened by spicy, etc.).
  3. Subtract 1 from each flavor for every flavor that is negative.
  4. Multiply all flavors by 60 divided by the number of seconds taken to cook, then subtract the number of times the mixture was burned or spilled. Round to the nearest integer.
  5. Set any flavors that are now negative to 0.
  6. If any flavors are greater than 99 (Generation IV) or 100 (Generation VIII), set those flavors to that limit.

If two or more copies of the same Berry are used, or all flavors are 0 (due to a large number of burns or spills), the Poffin will instead become a Foul Poffin, which boosts three random conditions by 2.

The final cook time is displayed in hundredths of a second. However, the game only records the time elapsed to 1/30th of a second, so the time will always end in 3, 6, or 0. In Generation VIII, it is possible for the digits after the decimal point to display as 100, which is simply a full extra second, so a time that displays "0:47.100" is treated as 0:48.00.

Poffin level

The Poffin's level is equal to the strength of its strongest flavor. For example, a Poffin with 8 sweetness and 12 spiciness will be Level 12. The level can be improved by making the Poffin in a shorter time, and by minimizing the number of burns and spills, as detailed in the above procedure. The highest possible level for a Poffin is thus 99 in Generation IV, or 100 in Generation VIII.

Example

Suppose a Poffin is created using a Bluk Berry, Nanab Berry, and Wepear Berry. Consider the case where cooking takes the maximum 60 seconds, without spilling or burning.

Each player will receive three Level 8 Bitter-Sour Poffins with 17 smoothness.

On the other hand, if cooking were to be completed in 40 seconds, the flavors would be as follows.

Step Spicy Dry Sweet Bitter Sour
Multiply by the cooking time bonus (60/40 = 1.5) -18 -18 -3 12 12
Subtract the number of spills & burns (0) -18 -18 -3 12 12
Set all negatives to 0 0 0 0 12 12

Each player will receive three Level 12 Bitter-Sour Poffins with 17 smoothness.

Base flavor levels

When cooking with one Berry (which is always the case when cooking alone in Generation IV), each Berry can be viewed as having a base strength for each Poffin flavor, which is then boosted by cooking faster than the maximum and decreased by spilling or burning the mixture. Since flavors that are already negative can only become more negative, they can be treated as 0, even though this is not performed until later in the algorithm.

Poffin levels can be improved by making the Poffin in a shorter time. The level of the cooked Poffin is equal to , where base is the base level, time is the time taken, and errors is the total number of burns and spills. (If this level would be less than 0, it becomes 0 instead.)

For example, when with a single Berry, an Aguav Berry has a base bitterness of 14 (other flavors have a base strength of 0). This means completing in 60 seconds with 0 burns and spills will yield a level 14 Poffin: . If, however, the Poffin was created in 40 seconds, it would be .

Poffin types

Poffin types depend on the number and strength of flavors present.

If a Poffin is created using two or more of the same Berry, or if all of its flavors end up being 0 or less, it becomes a Foul Poffin, which is black in color. A Foul Poffin has three random flavors with 2 strength, ignoring the flavors of the constituent Berries.

If the Poffin is Level 50 or higher, it is a Mild Poffin, which is gold with lighter yellow sprinkles on top. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, if a Poffin is Level 95 or higher and was cooked without any overflows or burns, it is a Super Mild Poffin, which has a rainbow-striped coloration with the same yellow sprinkles as the Mild Poffin.

Otherwise, if there is only one flavor present, the Poffin will be named after that flavor. If there are two flavors, the Poffin will be named after both flavors, with the stronger flavor first; if both flavors have the same strength, they are prioritized in the following order: Spicy, Dry, Sweet, Bitter, Sour. These Poffins are colored based on their primary flavor, with sprinkles of the second flavor's color for two-flavored Poffins.

If there are three flavors, the Poffin is a Rich Poffin, which is a medium gray color. If there are four flavors, the Poffin is an Overripe Poffin, which is a light gray color.

Smoothness

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Determine how different levels of synchronization/friendship affect the smoothness reduction
See also: Smoothness → List of Berries' smoothness

The smoothness of a Poffin is equal to the average smoothness of the Berries used (rounded down), minus the number of Berries used, minus any applicable bonus reduction. This can be expressed as the following formula (where n is the number of Berries used):

In Generation IV, if two or more players are cooking Poffins together and their stirring motions are all synchronized, a sparkling trail will appear on each game's touch screen.[1] The Poffin's smoothness will then be reduced by between 1 and 10 points, depending on how much of the stirring was synchronized enough to earn sparkles. The stirring itself is also more effective this way, allowing for lower cook times and thus higher-level Poffins that the Pokémon can eat more of before they get full.

In Generation VIII, the bonus reduction to smoothness is instead earned by cooking at Amity Square, and is based on how many of the player's party Pokémon are eligible for the park and have been herded up prior to cooking, as well as the friendship levels of those Pokémon. With a full party of Pokémon at maximum friendship which are all eligible for Amity Square, the largest possible smoothness reduction in this generation is 9 points.

The highest legally obtainable smoothness of a Poffin is 59, by using a single Berry with 60 smoothness. The lowest obtainable smoothness is 6 in Generation IV, or 7 in Generation VIII, by using four berries that each have 20 smoothness and getting the maximum available bonus reduction.

The Berries of each smoothness are listed below.

Smoothness Berries
20 Leppa, Oran, Persim, Lum, Sitrus, Razz, Bluk, Nanab, Wepear, Pinap, Pomeg, Kelpsy, Qualot, Hondew, Grepa
25 Cheri, Chesto, Pecha, Rawst, Aspear, Figy, Wiki, Mago, Aguav, Iapapa
30 Tamato, Cornn, Magost, Rabuta, Nomel, Occa, Passho, Wacan, Rindo, Yache, Chople, Kebia, Shuca, Coba, Payapa
35 Spelon, Pamtre, Watmel, Durin, Belue, Tanga, Charti, Kasib, Haban, Colbur, Babiri, Chilan, RoseliBDSP
40 Liechi, Ganlon, Salac, Petaya, Apicot
50 Lansat, Starf
60 Enigma, Micle, Custap, Jaboca, Rowap

Feeding Poffins

Condition

When a Pokémon is fed a Poffin, its Contest conditions are normally increased by an amount equal to the strength of the corresponding flavor. If the primary flavor of a Poffin matches the favorite flavor of the Pokémon it is fed to, the Pokémon will "happily" eat the Poffin, and the value of all of that Poffin's condition increases, not just the one associated with the chosen flavor, will be multiplied by 1.1 (rounded down). If the primary flavor matches the Pokémon's disliked flavor instead, the Pokémon will "disdainfully" eat the Poffin, and all condition increases will be multiplied by 0.9 (rounded down).

A Pokémon's liked and disliked flavor are determined by its nature. Some Pokémon neither like nor dislike any flavors.

No preferences ↘ Disliked flavor
Spicy Dry Sweet Bitter Sour
Liked flavor Spicy Bashful Adamant Brave Naughty Lonely
Dry Modest Docile Quiet Rash Mild
Sweet Timid Jolly Hardy Naive Hasty
Bitter Calm Careful Sassy Quirky Gentle
Sour Bold Impish Relaxed Lax Serious

Sheen

Main article: Sheen

Whenever a Pokémon eats a Poffin, that Poffin's smoothness is added to the Pokémon's sheen, up to a maximum of 255 sheen. Pokémon initially have 0 sheen. If a Pokémon has 255 sheen, it can no longer eat any Poffins. Sheen is permanent and cannot be reset.

If a Pokémon eats a Poffin that would cause its sheen to exceed 255, instead its sheen becomes 255 (but the Pokémon's condition stats are still increased by the Poffin's full amount as normal). For example, a Poffin created using only a Wiki Berry will have a smoothness of 24, meaning that a Pokémon could consume a maximum of 11 Poffins made from single Wiki Berries. The sheen will be 240 after the tenth, and would be 264 after the eleventh if not for the limit.

In the anime

Poffins in the anime

In the anime, Poffins were introduced in Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan!, in which Dawn saw a poster for a Poffin cooking class and convinced Ash and Brock to take the class with her. She told them that Poffins are snacks made from Berries and Ash quickly associated them with Hoenn's Pokéblocks. Dawn also mentioned that Poffins are given to Pokémon to keep them healthy and looking good and revealed that she used to help her mother when she was making Poffins.

The class was taught by Forsythia, who explained that in order to make Poffins, one has to put the Berries in a pot of cold water and turn the heat up while stirring without interruptions, since the constant stirring is what gives Poffins their flavor. Brock wrote down these instructions on a notebook, which helped him when he and the others were making Poffins by themselves. Dawn used the Kitchen Timer on her Pokétch to time her cooking, explaining to Ash that Poffins may burn if kept on the heat too long.

A plate of burnt Poffins

Once Dawn's Poffin dough was fully cooked down, she poured it into the mold, with Brock watching closely and taking notes. Unlike Dawn and Brock, Ash had trouble stirring and ended up with a plate full of burnt Poffins. When the group brought their Pokémon out of their Poké Balls to eat the Poffins, Brock's Pokémon seemed to like his Poffins, while Ash's Pokémon rejected his burnt Poffins to eat the ones Forsythia had made. Dawn's Pokémon did not like the Poffins she had prepared and she became confused since she had used the recipe Johanna always uses when making Poffins for her Glameow. Although her Pokémon disliked the snacks, Meowth from Team Rocket loved it. Later, Dawn tried a different recipe she made especially for her Pokémon, and this time Piplup, Buneary, and Pachirisu all approved the taste of her Poffins.

Dawn giving Poffins to her Pokémon

Since then, Dawn has often been seen giving Poffins to her Pokémon, either to motivate them during training sessions or to compensate them for their efforts in Pokémon Contests. Pachirisu is particularly fond of them and its love of Poffins has been featured in multiple episodes. In Settling a Not-So-Old Score!, Pachirisu came back to its senses after the scent of a Poffin Dawn had tossed in the air captured its attention. In Another One Gabites the Dust!, it started a rivalry with Ursula's Gabite after she stepped on its Poffin. Ursula offered one of her own Poffins to Pachirisu, but it refused, causing Ursula to take offense.

Dawn was also seen making Poffins in Hungry for the Good Life! during her stay at Mr. Backlot's mansion. A gluttonous Swinub living in the Trophy Garden found her Poffins to be delicious and could not get enough of them. It was later caught by Dawn. Dawn's Poffins also appeared in Giratina and the Sky Warrior, where Dawn gave Shaymin some of her Poffins, which Shaymin enjoyed. However, they seemed to cause Shaymin to need to release smoke through its mouth after swallowing.

James's Morpeko was seen eating Poffins after the Masters Eight Tournament battle between Ash and Cynthia in Whittle While You Work!.

Diamond & Pearl arc

Diamond is a natural at making high-quality Poffins. He provided a batch for Platinum in Perturbed by Pachirisu when she was preparing to enter a Normal Rank Coolness Contest with her Prinplup. The Poffins he made increased Prinplup's Cool condition, which was commented on by the judges. Dexter even noted that the mixture used to produce such good Poffins was very difficult and wondered who was the maker.

In the TCG
