    Poffins are basically the Sinnoh version of Pokéblocks. They can be created by the player themselves through the use of Berries, and are used to boost the Contest Stats of your Pokémon, giving them more chance of winning on contests.

    To create Poffins, you would need to go to the Poffin House and use Berries to cook the Poffins either by yourself or with other players. The minigame is always the same, you have to stir the pot various times in a certain direction, making sure you don't stir too slow or too fast. After this, you will get a Poffin which has a certain affect depending on what berry you used as well as how ell you did at stirring the pot.

    What did you think of both the minigame and the Poffins themselves? The minigame was pretty repetitive, but it was worth getting the Poffins. I used to do a lot of contests in previous plathroughs, although in my most recent Platinum file I haven't bothered so much with contests and therefore din't really bother making Poffins either.
     
    Personally, I never really liked the Poffins mechanic and the mini game felt redundant. Plus, I was never really into contests ever since they were introduced in gen 3. It was a miss for me and I normally focused on the core purpose of training up my mons.
     
    I never really messed with poffins or the contests in D/P or platinum, the lack of payoff for participating always made me avoid them. It was an interesting event that I feel would have been more successful if it played a stronger role in the overall game or story. The minigame was rather repetitive and not in a fun way.
     
    I love poffins and poffin making! I actually really enjoy the mini game and have mastered it, I'd say. Sometimes when I play Pearl/Diamond/Platinum, all I do is continually make poffins as I find the mini game quite addictive. I absolutely love contests and thus I consider poffin-making to be absolutely essential in order to be a successful coordinator in-game!
