Detailed information
General overview of Chef Dente
Chef Dente is an exclusive form of Greedent unique to Pokémon Pokopia. Of the Normal type, it holds the number #192 in the game's Pokédex. Its category is that of the Gourmand Pokémon. It stands 0.6 m tall and weighs 6 kg.
Its official description states that it grew up in a family of gastronomes who passed on their love of cooking to it. It enjoys eating almost anything and therefore tends to overlook seasoning. Its energetic and greedy personality makes it a companion as endearing as it is indispensable in Pokopia.
Chef Dente never goes anywhere without its cooking utensils - its iron chef's hat and cooking tools are its trademark. It embodies in the game the archetype of the passionate chef, ready to prepare dishes for all the Pokémon of the region.
Specialty and in-game usefulness
Chef Dente specializes in the Feast. This specialty allows it to cook for great occasions and to animate the festivities of each region. Its role goes far beyond simple meal preparation: it is the head chef of the Collinangle feast and a required character for the construction of the main building of New Town.
Cooking is an essential mechanic in Pokémon Pokopia. The dishes the player prepares alongside Chef Dente directly improve Ditto's abilities. Each category of dish strengthens a different ability:
- Salads (leaf-based, on a cutting board) - improve the Leafage ability
- Burgers (bean-based, in a frying pan) - improve the Rock Smash ability
- Breads (wheat-based, in an oven) - improve the Cut ability
- Soups (water-based, in a cauldron) - improve the Water Gun ability
Some recipes require the presence of a Pokémon with a particular specialty to be made. Chef Dente accompanies the player at each stage of this gradual culinary learning.
How to find Chef Dente in Pokémon Pokopia
Chef Dente is found in the Collinangle region, the volcanic area of the game. It is imprisoned in a barrel suspended from the ceiling, held by a chain. To free it, the player must first upgrade the Cut ability, which allows the chain holding the barrel to be severed.
Once freed, Chef Dente joins the region's kitchen and becomes the central character of the important quest "It's Party Time!". It then asks the player to prepare five different dishes to feed the great Collinangle feast, each served on a party plate crafted from iron ingots.
Once the main quest is completed, Chef Dente is also required for the construction of the second floor of the main building of New Town, alongside other exclusive Pokémon such as Peakychu. It thus appears several times throughout the main storyline of the game.
After the conclusion of the main quest, a new request from Chef Dente asks the player to retrieve a refined cauldron, hidden in the manor garden at the back of the region's caves. This utensil unlocks the soup recipe and improves the Water Gun ability in its enhanced version.
