The habitat is associated with Chef Dente, a Greedent. The pot’s reported location is disputed: one guide points to a cave pickup, while another says it can appear from gardening at the mansion.
Chef’s Kitchen habitat checklist
Gather all six required objects and place them together as a compact kitchen setup:
- One cooking stove
- One modern sink
- One plain table
- One cutting board
- One Stylish Cooking Pot
- One plated food
Dexerto’s Chef’s Kitchen habitat guide and Insider Gaming’s habitat dex guide give the same six-item recipe and associate the habitat with Chef Dente, a Greedent.
Check that the habitat registers
After placing the items together, use the game’s habitat recognition or check prompt to see whether the setup counts. The confirmed recipe is the most reliable guide to the build; available accounts do not establish exact spacing or placement rules. NoobFeed offers additional layout suggestions, but its instructions inconsistently mention a frying pan where the habitat lists call for a cooking stove, so use the six-item recipe above as the checklist: NoobFeed’s Chef’s Kitchen guide.

Where to find the Stylish Cooking Pot
The Stylish Cooking Pot is mandatory for the habitat, but published guides disagree about how to obtain it. Nerd’s Chalk reports two different routes in separate articles:
| Reported location | What the guide says | How certain is it? |
|---|---|---|
| Cave | Start near the Pokémon Center, follow railroad tracks into a cave, cross a lava section using Water Gun, then look near a building entrance. See the cave-location guide. | A guide-reported exploration pickup; not independently confirmed. |
| Mansion gardening plots | The pot may appear as a random result while gardening at the mansion. See the mansion-gardening guide. | A conflicting guide report; no confirmed drop rate or requirement is stated. |
No official or primary gameplay confirmation establishes which account is correct. Treat the cave route as a lead to try, not a guaranteed location or progression step; the separate gardening report remains unverified too. Neither route has a confirmed drop rate, exact coordinates, or established version or progression conditions.
