Fresh: 270

To get the best odds at rolling a Sparkling Power and Alpha Power, using Donuts with high Sweet Flavor is needed. Adding Fresh Flavor gives you a chance to also roll Encounter Power on your donuts, which reduces the time a Pokemon respawns after being KOed.

Ideally, you want to roll a Donut with both Sparkling Power and Alpha Power, with the Sparkling Power corresponding to the type of the Pokemon you want to Shiny hunt.

When farming for items, or entering portals to collect more Berries, it is best to use Donuts with Big Haul Power and Item Power to make item farming more fast and efficient.

In order to roll these Flavor Powers, Sour Berries are needed. Ideally, Big Haul Power Lv. 3 and Item Power: Berries Lv. 3 are the Flavor Powers you want, but you can also opt for other Item Powers, depending on the item you wish to farm.

The Best Donut Recipes will require a lot of Hyper Berries, and the recipe listed above is recommended for players who want to farm Hyper Berries. You will want to have the Item Power: Berries, so make sure to reroll if you didn't get the bonus.

In addition to using only 1 berry from several types for cost efficiency, this recipe only makes use of 7 slots so you can further enhance the Sourness of the donut by adding an 8th berry of your preference.

This recipe also makes 5-Star Rank Dounuts, which enables you to farm at either 4-Star Hyperspace Zones or 5-Star Hyperspace Zones.

At the start of the Mega Dimension DLC story, you will only have access to Regular Berries, so try to prioritize berries that give more calories.

Stacking Calories on your donuts allows you to explore portals longer, giving you more time to gather the new items, complete missions, and catch new Pokemon.

Once you have access to Hyper Berries, the number of berries you can use to make donuts will also increase to 5.

During this stage, try to use different berry combinations, while prioritizing Sweet Flavor for Sparkling or Alpha Power, and Spicy Flavor for Move or Attack Power.

As you approach the Late Game, the level of the Pokemon inside Portals will also start to increase significantly.

Try to focus on using Spicy Berries during this time, especially if you are having a harder time against the Hyper Strong Pokemon.
