Best Donut Recipes

Donuts provide different Flavor Powers depending on the berries used in the Mega Dimension DLC for Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Read on for the best Donut Recipes for shiny hunting, item farming, and the Best Donut Recipes for the story!

Best Donut Recipes for Shiny Hunting

Sweet Donuts for Sparkling Power and Alpha Power

Sweet: 625
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 increases the number of Pokemon spawns.

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 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.

Best Donut Recipes for the Story

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.
