Here are some common team builds you'll typically see:

Early Game Team Comp

• Use the in-game team builder (Berry Picking) to pick your team. It'll list mons from strongest to weakest, left to right.
  • Just be careful if your Pokemon are low on energy. The builder takes energy into account, so a weak mon with high energy might show up ahead of a stronger one that's tired. Try to top off your team's energy before relying on this.
• Check what ingredients your team can produce, then head over to the recipes page to see what recipes you can make. If you're close to a stronger dish, feel free to replace the rightmost (weakest) mons with 1 or 2 ingredient specialists to help you cook it.

Typical Late Game Team Comp

• A standard late game setup is your healer, 2 to 4 ingredient mons, and 0 to 2 strength mons. The exact mix depends on how strong your cooking setup is.
• If you're cooking top tier recipes, running 4 ingredient mons isn't unusual, especially during cooking events where you need to keep up with ingredient demands. On the flip side, if your recipes aren't that strong, running that many ingredient mons can be a waste. Swapping in a strength mon might give you more Snorlax strength than the dish itself would.
• You'll want to rotate your ingredient mons through as few slots as possible while still being able to cook your dish.
  • For example, I might be able to rotate 4 AAA ingredient mons through 2 slots for Keema curry without a pot mon, but need 3-4 slots for Hidden Power stew with a pot mon. Then I have to decide if using an extra slot for ingredients is worth losing a strength mon.
• For support skill mons like pot expanders or extra tasty specialists, you can rotate them into your ingredient slots if they still contribute enough ingredients, or swap them in through your strength slots when needed.
