Pokémon Camp is a new feature introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield. Players can access it from the menu screen. Players can create a camping site and interact with the Pokémon in their current party. Camping also gives Pokémon extra experience points.
Players can talk to their Pokémon, and they can even cook a special curry using the berries as ingredients. Players can also play with their Pokémon with The toys, and playing with the Pokémon increases their affection for their trainer. Playing with a Pokémon also gives them extra experience points while camping.
At the start of the game, you only start with two toys: Poké Toy, which is just a feather on a stick, and Poké Ball. Players can swing the Poké toy in front of their Pokémon, and the latter, in turn, will attempt to hit it. The Poké Ball is just a big ball that players can fetch.
However, players can unlock new toys for their Pokémon. These new toys unlock after filling their Curry Dex
In Sword and Shield you carry an encyclopedia of the different kinds of curry that you cook for your Pokémon throughout the game called Curry Dex.

You can show off your Curry Dex at Camping King in the Wilderness Area. The King Campground will be located in the wild side of East Lake Axewell - it will be right next to the stairwell leading to the town of Motostoke. It will reward you with a new toy to play with your Pokémon while camping.
Serebii compiled all the toys that the Camping King rewards you, and the number of different curries you need to cook in order to win these new toys.
- Fresh Ball - 5 kinds of curry
- Weighted ball - 10 kinds of curry
- Soothe Ball - 15 kinds of curry
- Mirror ball - 30 kinds of curry
- Tritonde Ball - 50 kinds of curry
- Champion Ball - 80 kinds of curry
These essential new toys work the same as a standard Poké Ball toy and provide no additional benefits. The new toys have different weights than a normal Poké Ball toy and they move differently. For example, the weighted ball is heavier. The Sooth Ball sounds like a Bell and is very light compared to other balls.
