These Easy-to-Obtain Pokémon Make the Best Fighters for Your Pokémon Quest Team

When you're first starting out in Pokémon Quest, it can be tough to determine which Pokémon are the best fit for your team.

First, there are just so many Pokémon to choose from. Second, you're never sure which recipes will give you which Pokémon, and which ones will be toughest to recruit.

Not only does this list take all of the guess work out of the process, but it only includes Pokémon that are super easy to obtain with the right recipes.

Alakazam

Alakazam has a massive attack stat, and with the right moves, it can mow down even the most powerful enemies in a snap. To get an Alakazam, you'll want to attract Abra to your Base Camp, and use additional Abras to train up its level and teach it new moves. Abra will evolve into Kadabra at level 16, and then into Alakazam at level 36.

Use this Brain Food à la Cube recipe to attract Abras every time.

• 3 Bluk Berry
• 1 Apricorn
• 1 Apricorn or Fossil

Best Moves: Psychic and Psycho Cut

Charizard

If you're building an awesome Pokémon team, Charizard is always an obvious choice. In Pokémon Quest, it's a strong close-range attacker that really packs a punch. To get one, you'll want to recruit a lot of Charmanders for powering up. Evolve Charmander into Charmeleon at level 16 and then Charizard at level 36.

Use this Hot Pot à la Cube recipe and you'll attract a Charmander about 80% of the time.

• 3 Balm Mushrooms
• 2 Big Roots

Best Moves: Fire Blast, Fire Punch

Golem

If you want to make it far in Pokémon Quest, you're going to want a Pokémon that can absorb hits and survive while your downed Pokémon recuperate. Golem's high HP allows it to take quite a beating, and its long-range attacks can be pretty powerful too.

Make sure to teach it Dig for the biggest impact. You'll see a number of dual rock and ground-type Pokémon on this list, not only because they're survivors, but because two later areas of the game give advantages to those types. Geodude evolves into evolves into Graveler at level 25 and Golem at level 36.

Cook this recipe for Mud Pie à la Cube to attract Geodude 50% of the time:

• 1 Apricorn
• 2 Fossils
• 1 Tiny Mushroom or Bluk Berry or Apricorn
• 1 Apricorn or Fossil

Best Moves: Dig, Earthquake

Onix

Onix is a great damage-absorbing tank, particularly when you're starting out your Pokémon Quest run. It's also extremely handy to have an Onix with Harden on your team to help every Pokémon on your quest tough it out for longer. Best of all, it starts off super strong since you don't need to evolve it.

This recipe for Mud Pie à la Cube almost guarantees you'll attract an Onix:

• 1 Apricorn
• 2 Fossils
• 1 Apricorn or Fossil
• 1 Big Root or Icy Rock or Honey

Best Moves: Harden, Rock Throw

Machamp

Machamp is yet another Pokémon with super strong attacks, and it has decent HP to back it up, too. It likes to get up close and personal when it attacks, so try balancing out your team with a long-range attacker as well. Machop evolves into Machoke at level 28 and Machamp at level36.

With this Get Swole Syrup à la Cube recipe, you have an almost 100% chance of getting Machop:

• 1 Tiny Mushroom
• 2 Bluk Berry
• 1 Honey
• 1 Balm Mushroom

Best Moves: Mega Bunch, Cross Chop

Magneton

Magneton may not have the best stats in all of Pokémon Quest, but it's a balanced Pokémon with tons of potential. Teach it Charge to boost the stats of your entire Pokémon team and Thunder so it can mow down your opponents. It's also extra handy because the last area in the game gives an advantage to electric-type Pokémon. Magnemite evolves into Magneton at level 30.

Use this recipe for Watt a Risotto à la Cube to get a Magnemite nearly 100% of the time:

• 1 Tiny Mushroom
• 1 Apricorn
• 2 Honey
• 1 Tiny Mushroom or Bluk Berry

Best Moves: Thunder, Charge

Rhydon

Rhydon is one of the more balanced Pokémon in Pokémon Quest with good HP stats and even better attack stats. It attacks up-close, and its Crunch attack is great for getting your team out of a pinch when things get tough. Rhyhorn evolves into Rhydon at level 42, so it'll take a bit of training to get there—but it's totally worth it.

Cook the following Mud Pie à la Cube recipe to get Rhyhorn about 50% of the time. The rest of the time, you'll get Geodude—which is great if you're composing a super-tough rock and ground team:

• 1 Tiny Mushroom
• 2 Fossils
• 2 Tiny Mushrooms or Bluk Berries

Best Moves: Crunch, Megahorn
