Professions

Five crafts are coming to the world: gathering what grows wild, breaking it down, and building things no shop will ever sell you. None of them is open yet — this is what they will be.

Foraging

Everything the other crafts need starts here

The gathering craft. You walk the overworld and your pocket monster does the finding — the one that digs, the one that picks things up, the one with a nose for it.

Rare Berries and ApricornsEnergy Roots and Big MushroomsYour team's own abilities decide what you find

Common Berries

Everywhere, once you know to look. Basic cooking and the weaker tonics.

  • Oran Berry
  • Pecha Berry
  • Cheri Berry
  • Chesto Berry

Rare & Specialty Berries

The ones worth walking for. High-end cooking, every elixir, and the potent tonics.

  • Starf Berry
  • Enigma Berry
  • Rindo Berry
  • Yache Berry

Apricorns

Five colours off the trees, and the shell every Spherecrafting fitting starts from.

  • Red Apricorn
  • Black Apricorn
  • White Apricorn
  • Yellow Apricorn
  • Green Apricorn

Flora & Fungi

Roots, herbs and mushrooms — the staples behind most dishes and every botanical brew.

  • Revival Herb
  • Big Mushroom
  • Sweet Herba Mystica
  • Spicy Herba Mystica

Fauna Drops

What the wild leaves behind. Specialist cooking, and the things that make you quicker.

  • Shed Slowpoke Tail
  • Moomoo Milk
  • Swift Feather

Refining

Break hard things down into what everyone else builds with

Dismantling and processing. Evolution Stones and ancient Relics do not give up their energy quietly — it takes a strong pocket monster, or the right elemental one, to crack them into dust and fragments.

Evolution Stones and Relics crushed to dustElemental dusts and fragments by typeThe base material Apothecary and Spherecrafting run on

Elemental Powders

Every evolution stone in the world, ground to powder. Buy them at the Evolution Emporium or find them out farming — this is the one profession that starts from something you can already get.

Leaf Stone Powder

Green grit off a Leaf Stone. The cheapest thing a refiner can practise on — leaf stones turn up almost anywhere.

  • Leaf Stone
Moon Stone Dust

Pale dust off a Moon Stone. No shop sells one, so every grain of this was found in a cave.

  • Moon Stone
Water Stone Powder

Blue powder off a Water Stone, still faintly cold to the touch.

  • Water Stone
Thunder Stone Fragments

Charged shards off a Thunder Stone. The Adrenaline Syringe and the Voltorb Decoy Trap both want these.

  • Thunder Stone
Fire Stone Powder

Red powder off a Fire Stone. It keeps its heat for hours after the grinding.

  • Fire Stone
Link Stone Filings

Filings off a Link Stone — the most expensive thing in the shop, turned into a pinch of metal. Only a master refiner would.

  • Link Stone

Pressed Extracts

Ore and berries pressed down to what the Apothecary actually wants. Both go straight into an elixir — you find the raw thing out farming and bring it back here.

Iron Defense Extract

Iron ore pressed until only the hardness is left. The Apothecary's Rocky Helmet decoction is built on it.

  • Iron Ore
Lum Berry Extract

A Lum Berry pressed to syrup. Everything that cures a status condition starts here — the Sacred Ash panacea most of all.

  • Lum Berry

Mechanical Scraps Found in the wild from Refining level 5

Off Steel and Electric types, or scavenged from ruins. The guts of every gadget and fitting.

  • Iron Ball

  • Psychic Gem Dust
  • Liquefied Everstone
  • Toxic Orb Residue
  • Flame Orb Residue
  • Ectoplasm

Gear that did not survive the crushing. Defensive and stat-bending elixirs.

  • Wise Glasses Shards
  • Rocky Helmet Spikes
  • Crushed Clear Amulet

Gastronomy

Cook meals that arm your team before the first hit lands

The culinary craft. Feed a pocket monster before you head out and it carries Well Fed with it — a passive that is simply on, fight after fight, until the time runs out or it goes down.

Shields that soak the opening hitsImmunity to sleep, paralysis and the restHalf an hour of it, on one pocket monster at a time

What you'll cook

Nine dishes, three ingredients each. Every one is a plan, not a promise.

  • Every dish lasts 30 minutes
  • One meal at a time — a second dish replaces the first
  • Well Fed sits on the pocket monster that ate, not on you
  • Lost early if it faints

  • Pecha Berry
  • Swift Feather
  • Sweet Herba Mystica

Apothecary

Brew the long buff and the emergency button

The science of potent liquids. Energy pulled out of natural and synthetic ingredients becomes two very different things: something you drink and forget about, and something you save for the moment it decides a fight.

Elixirs: quiet buffs that stay on youCombat Tonics: hotbar bursts on a cooldownFed by Refining and by Foraging alike

Elixirs — half an hour, on you

Six flasks. Where a meal feeds one pocket monster, an elixir is brewed for the trainer.

  • Every elixir lasts 30 minutes
  • One elixir at a time, and it stacks with a meal
  • The elixir is on YOU, so it covers whichever pocket monster is out
  • Which is why it survives a faint — a meal does not
Elixir of the Iron Defense

Your pocket monster take 20% less damage, and move and attack 10% slower for it.

  • Iron Ore
  • Starf Berry
Phial of the Clear Amulet

Immune to confusion, and enemy moves can never lower your pocket monster's accuracy.

  • Persim Berry

Elixir of the Wise Glasses

Special moves come off cooldown 15% faster — but physical ones hurt your pocket monster 10% more.

  • Wise Glasses Shards
  • Payapa Berry
  • Ectoplasm
Flask of the Unchanging Stone

Nothing can lower your pocket monster's stats — and nothing can raise them either.

  • Liquefied Everstone
  • Lum Berry
  • Metal Coat Shavings

Combat Tonics — seconds, on a cooldown

Six hotbar drinks, and one cooldown between them. Picking the right one is the whole skill.

  • Five minutes of cooldown on every tonic
  • And they share it — drink one and the rest go down with it
Gutsy Root Brew

+40% damage for 5 seconds, bought by poisoning your own pocket monster to get it.

  • Link Stone Filings
  • Salac Berry

Spherecrafting

Build the ball, then build what goes on it

Engineering and blacksmithing. The shell of a capture ball is a machine, and a machine can be forged differently, bolted onto, and improved — and some of what you build does not go on a ball at all.

Forge and modify capture ball shellsAttachments that improve a captureDecoys and traps you deploy mid-battle

Ball fittings — on the ball, not the pocket monster

Four fittings. Three bolt on and stay; one is spent on a single throw.

  • A fitting goes on a Poké Ball, so it works for whatever you throw at
  • One fitting per ball — a second replaces the first
  • The ball still decides the catch rate; a fitting only bends it
Quick-Release HingeConsumable

A ball that fails to catch bounces straight back to your bag. The hinge is spent either way.

  • Spring
  • Yellow Apricorn
  • Copper Wire
Masterwork Premier ShellConsumable

Fitted to a Poké Ball, a Great Ball or an Ultra Ball, it lands with a 5% better chance of catching. Spent on that one throw, and it does not fit a Master Ball.

  • Polished Aluminum
  • Moon Stone Dust
  • White Apricorn
Plush LiningConsumable

So comfortable inside that whatever settles in settles well: anything caught with it comes out at least Refined.

  • Dusk Stone Dust
  • Black Apricorn
  • Iron Gears
Lead-Core GyroscopeConsumable

Too heavy to shake off. If the wild breaks free it stays put for one more throw — once per pocket monster.

  • Iron Ball
  • Fire Stone Powder
  • Heavy Duty Boots Tread

Deployables — placed, not thrown

Four hotbar devices you set on the ground to shape the fight around you.

  • Placed on the ground, never aimed at a target
  • One of each on the field at a time
Voltorb Decoy Trap

Drops a decoy that pulls nearby enemies onto it. After three hits it detonates for Electric damage and paralyses what it catches.

  • Scrap Metal
  • Thunder Stone Fragments
  • Red Apricorn
Koffing Smokescreen Canister

Fills the area with smoke for 8 seconds. Everything inside loses accuracy, and your own hits land 20% harder from within it.

  • Smoke Ball
  • Poison Gem Dust
  • Green Apricorn
Galvantula Net-Projector

Lays a net. The first enemy across it is rooted for 3 seconds and takes Electric damage throughout — it can still attack, it just cannot close.

  • Sticky Barb
  • Yellow Apricorn
  • Copper Wire
Eject Button Pad

Step on it and you and your pocket monster are thrown clear, dropping every enemy's aggro for 2 seconds.

  • Eject Button
  • Spring
  • Scrap Metal

In game, the five craftsmen stand in the artisans' quarter — east out of the plaza, down the dirt road. Talk to the one whose trade you want and his panel opens on it.
