- Accept the "Brighten Things Up" quest from Professor Tangrowth.
- Connect Utility Poles between power sources (windmills, water wheels, furnaces) and streetlamps.
- Reach 100 bloom points — watch the flowers on Mosslax's head bloom as you progress.

- Build a Gourmet's Offering habitat (needs an Offering Dish) to use Mosslax Boosts.
About Mosslax#
A Snorlax that tried to sleep off a bad mood after losing a fight. He ended up sleeping through the entire apocalypse. According to Professor Tangrowth, Mosslax has been out for centuries — long enough for moss to cover his body and a flower to sprout from his head. He blocks the path forward in Bleak Beach until you reach 100 bloom points, and the flowers on his head bloom progressively as you get closer to waking him. When the lights finally come on, Raikou appears and jolts him awake.

Reach 100 bloom points in Bleak Beach by connecting Utility Poles between power sources (windmills, water wheels, furnaces) and streetlamps. Each connection raises the meter. At 100, climb to the top of town and Raikou shows up, shocked at all the lights. Raikou's jolt is what actually wakes Mosslax.
A daily buff system. Feed Mosslax at the Gourmet's Offering altar and the food's dominant flavor determines your boost. Spicy boosts habitat spawns.

Cook food with Chef Dente first, then offer it to Mosslax.
His Pokedex entry says he tried to sleep off a bad mood after losing a fight. He accidentally slept through the entire apocalypse. Professor Tangrowth confirms he's been asleep for centuries. The moss and flowers are the result of that extremely long nap.
