How to make Poke in Infinite Craft

How to make 🍄 Poke — step by step

The cheapest known path. Craft each step in order — every ingredient is either a basic element or something you make earlier in this list.

1. 💧 Water + 💨 Wind = 🌊 WaveBoth Water and Wind come straight from your starting elements — craft Wave first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
2. 🌎 Earth + 🌊 Wave = 🏖️ SandSand is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
3. 🏖️ Sand + 💧 Water = 🏖️ BeachIf you already made Beach in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
4. 🌎 Earth + 🔥 Fire = 🌋 LavaOne quick craft for Lava: drag Earth onto Fire and keep the result for the chain.
5. 🏖️ Beach + 🌋 Lava = 🌺 HawaiiHawaii is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.
6. 🌎 Earth + 💧 Water = 🌱 PlantPlant is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
7. 🌱 Plant + 🌊 Wave = 🌊 SeaweedIf you already made Seaweed in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
8. 🌺 Hawaii + 🌊 Seaweed = 🍄 PokeFinal craft: combine Hawaii and Seaweed to make Poke. That's the whole path — 8 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Poke

We rank every known recipe for Poke by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Hawaii and Seaweed — cost 5 and 3 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 8 crafts. The alternatives in the table below are ranked the same way: their "approx. cost" is the pricier ingredient plus one, so you can see at a glance which route actually saves you crafts — and which ones quietly waste five.

What you build along the way

Every intermediate in this route earns its slot — here's the job each one does, and where else it's useful:

• Step 1 — 🌊 Wave: made from Water + Wind, costs 1 crafts if you build it standalone. It only exists here to unlock what comes next. Beyond this chain it also feeds 🌎 Earth and 🌎 Earth.
• Step 2 — 🏖️ Sand: made from Earth + Wave, costs 2 crafts if you build it standalone. It only exists here to unlock what comes next. Beyond this chain it also feeds 🔥 Fire and 🔥 Fire.
• Step 3 — 🏖️ Beach: made from Sand + Water, costs 3 crafts if you build it standalone. It only exists here to unlock what comes next. Beyond this chain it also feeds 🌎 Earth and 🌎 Earth.
• Step 4 — 🌋 Lava: made from Earth + Fire, costs 1 crafts if you build it standalone. It only exists here to unlock what comes next. Beyond this chain it also feeds 🌎 Earth and 🌎 Earth.
• Step 5 — 🌺 Hawaii: made from Beach + Lava, costs 5 crafts if you build it standalone. It only exists here to unlock what comes next. Beyond this chain it also feeds 🌎 Earth and 🌎 Earth.
• Step 6 — 🌱 Plant: made from Earth + Water, costs 1 crafts if you build it standalone. It only exists here to unlock what comes next. Beyond this chain it also feeds 🌎 Earth and 🌎 Earth.

Alternative combinations for Poke

Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.

Main route vs the alternatives

The table above lists other recorded combinations, but here's the practical difference. The main path totals 8 crafts; the next best, 🐟 Fish + 🌺 Hawaii, runs about 8 crafts — essentially tied. A third option, Sushi + Hawaii, sits around 8 crafts. Pick an alternative only when you already hold one of its ingredients from earlier play — otherwise the main route is the cheapest way in.

How hard is Poke, really?

At 8 crafts on the full path, Poke is a mid-difficulty project — a normal session goal (roughly the 67th percentile of our 527 published recipes). If you want a warm-up at the same difficulty, try these neighbours:

Mistakes to avoid with Poke

• Craft Wave once and keep it — it's needed again later in this same chain. Rebuilding it is the #1 wasted-click mistake on this route.
• Don't jump to the final Hawaii + Seaweed craft until both sides are genuinely in your inventory — the game won't guess for you.
• The order above is dependency-sorted. Following it top-to-bottom beats hopscotching: every step's inputs are guaranteed to exist by the time you reach it.

Tips for crafting Poke

• Craft in one sitting. The 8-craft chain for Poke takes under two minutes once you know the route — the list above is already in dependency order, so just go top to bottom.
• Reuse your inventory. If you've played before you probably own the early intermediates (like Sand) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
• Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Fish + Hawaii also produces Poke if that route fits your inventory better.
