Pokemon Pokopia players tackling the game's third map location, Rocky Ridges, will find one of the most involved questlines in the game, asking them to rescue a trapped chef, upgrade core abilities, and throw a full-scale party with decorations, food, and a dedicated hype Pokemon.
Iniziare a Rocky Ridges
Before the Time to Party quest officially kicks off, players should start collecting resources early. Scavenging leaves, wheat, and beans and planting any seeds found along the way will save significant time later, as these ingredients are required for multiple cooking recipes throughout the questline.
The area opens by guiding Professor Tangrowth to the ruins of the old Pokemon Center. The PC needs to be moved back to the electrical supply, but players lack the strength to do it at the start. That's where the questline's skill-upgrade structure comes in.
Potenziamento: Forza e Taglio
To gain the strength needed to move the PC, players must complete the following steps:
- Build a Red tall grass habitat to meet Scorbunny
- Talk to Scorbunny to learn about Machoke's habitat requirements
- Build a Grassy training field habitat to attract Machoke
- Work out with Machoke to unlock the strength upgrade
- Push the PC back into place at the Pokemon Center
After speaking with Professor Tangrowth again, the quest shifts to the kitchen area, where a Pokemon is trapped in a barrel behind a metal chain. Freeing it requires upgrading the cutting ability first:
- Build a Pointy tree-shaded rocky tall grass habitat to spawn Dartrix
- Craft a chopping board using two lumber, then make and eat a salad with two leaves
- Build the Mossy hot spring habitat to spawn Torkoal
- Craft a bread oven using two stones, two small logs, and four volcanic ash
- Bake and eat bread using three pieces of wheat, with Scorbunny lighting the oven
- Use the upgraded cutting ability to slice the chain and free the Pokemon

Keep Scorbunny in your party throughout Rocky Ridges. The fire-type Pokemon is required to light the bread oven and will save you from backtracking.
Cucinare con Chef Dente
Freeing the trapped Pokemon reveals Chef Dente, who immediately sets players to work cooking. A frying pan is needed, and crafting it requires copper ingots from the mining tunnels:
- Talk to Machoke and follow them to the tunnels
- Cut the fence to access the mining area
- Build the Digging and burning habitat to spawn Magmar
- Have Magmar smelt two copper ingots using the tunnel's smelter
- Craft the frying pan from those two copper ingots
- Cook a hamburger steak using four beans
Crafting the frying pan
Trovare DJ Rotom e Organizzare la Festa
During the cooking quests, Scorbunny will appear looking worried, pointing toward a blank wall. Players need to punch through that wall to reveal a hidden mining tunnel, where DJ Rotom is waiting.
- Complete Scorbunny's request to investigate the sound
- Talk to DJ Rotom inside the tunnel
- Return outside to Professor Tangrowth
- DJ Rotom joins the group and proposes throwing a party
Completare la Quest "Time to Party"
This is the most involved section of the Rocky Ridges questline. Here's the full checklist for pulling off the party:
- Talk with Chef Dente and clear space for the party
- Place the cooking pot
- Speak with Professor Tangrowth, then collect at least one large relic and decorations (balloons and banners work)
- Craft five party platters, each requiring one iron ingot
- Cook five dishes to place on the platters
- Bring DJ Rotom CDs (one or two is enough to progress, though they can hold up to five)
- Build the Uplifting Duckweed habitat to spawn Ludicolo as the party's hype Pokemon
- Add more decorations including balloons, banners, and party cups from the shop to push the hype level to 100
Once hype hits 100, Chef Dente assigns the main curry dish. Players must place the following into the cooking pot:
Assign Pokemon to help Chef Dente cook. The curry takes a few minutes to complete. Once it's ready, interact with specific Pokemon when prompted to wrap up the Rocky Ridges questline.
danger
Don't forget to plant seeds early in the run. The curry recipe alone demands 15 wheat and 15 beans, so having crops growing in the background will prevent long waits near the end of the quest.
With Rocky Ridges cleared, players can finish rebuilding the Pokemon Center, raise the comfort levels of their Pokemon, or push through the next gate to continue their journey through Pokemon Pokopia.
