How to Make Shiny Donuts

How to Reroll Flavor Powers

# Step by Step Objectives
1 Heal at a Pokemon Center
Start by healing at any Pokemon Center. Healing at a Pokemon Center will trigger the autosave function, which will serve as your returning point when you use the Backup Save function later on.
2 Make a Donut with High Sweet Flavor
Sparkling Power can be rolled on Donuts with high Sweet Flavor. Aim to make Donuts with at least 500 Sweet Flavor for the best chances at rolling Sparkling Power.
3 Check the Donut's Flavor Powers
After making the Donut, check the Flavor Powers to see if you rolled the desired Flavor Powers. If you did not roll Sparkling Power, press the Home Button and restart the game.
4 Restore Backup Save
After restarting the game, press UP, B, and X simultaneously on the title screen to load your backup save. This will bring you back to the Pokemon Center, where you can repeat Steps 2-3 until you receive the desired Flavor Power.

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.

Sweet Flavor Powers

Sweet Effect
Alpha Power Increases the chance of encountering Alpha Pokemon.
Teensy Power Increases the chance of encountering small Pokemon.
Humungo Power Increases the chance of encountering large Pokemon.
Sparkling Power Increases the chance of encountering a shiny Pokemon of a specific type.

When using Sweet Berries to make Donuts, you will end up with either of these Flavor Powers, with a corresponding Power Level.

Flavor Powers are rolled randomly, and if you wish to conserve the use of berries, you can also restore your backup save to try and reroll the Flavor Power.

Sparkling Power Levels

Level Effect
1 It boosts the odds of finding Shiny Pokemon a little.
2 It boosts the odds of finding Shiny Pokemon.
3 It boosts the odds of finding Shiny Pokemon a lot.

Sparkling Power significantly increases the chances of encountering Shiny Pokemon within wild zones, for a specific Pokemon type.

Sparkling Power Lvl 3 guarantees a Shiny, by always giving the Catch a Shiny Pokemon mission within the Hyperspace Wild Zone. Do note that the guarantee only happens when you use a Sparkling Power that matches the Portal's type, or at least the secondary typing of the Pokemon found inside the Hyperspace Wild Zone.

Hyperspace Wild Zone

Once you have your Sparkling Power donut, find a Hyperspace Wild Zone with the same type as the Sparkling Power you have.

If you do not have a Hyperspace Wild Zone with the same type as your Sparkling Power, you can reroll Hyperspace Portals until you find the correct one.
