How to Raise Donut Flavor Score
Use Hyper Berries
If you want to make a donut with a high flavor score, it's best to use only Hyper Berries to make your donut and not regular Berries. The regular Berries with the highest flavor score only go up to 35 points, whereas the Hyper Berries with the lowest flavor score have a total of 40 points they can add to the donut.
Hyper Berries can be obtained from hyperspace distortions and are only useful for donut-making. Hyper Berry flavor scores range from 40 total points up to 150 total points, with these points distributed among different flavors.
Unlock More Berry Slots
It's easier to make donuts with higher flavor scores if you use more Berries when donut-making. A 5-star donut requires a flavor score of 960, so even if you use only Hyper Berries with 150 flavor points, you will still need to use at least seven Berries in order to make a 5-star donut.
The maximum number of Berry slots for donut-making is eight. You can unlock more Berry slots by completing Hyperspace Missions during the DLC's storyline. A Berry slot gets unlocked every time you defeat a Rogue Mega Pokemon in the DLC story and obtain an upgraded block of butter.

The Hyper Berries with the highest flavor scores are the Hyper Haban Berry, Hyper Colbur Berry, Hyper Chilan Berry, Hyper Roseli Berry, and Hyper Babiri Berry. Each of these Berries has a flavor score of 150, which is divided into two flavors, with one flavor at 85 points and another at 65 points.
The second highest flavor score for Berries is 120, which is the flavor score of the Hyper Coba Berry, Hyper Payapa Berry, Hyper Tanga Berry, Hyper Charti Berry, and Hyper Kasib Berry. These have a more diverse flavor distribution with 95 points in one flavor, 10 points in two flavors, and 5 points in another flavor.
If you want to make a 5-star donut, it is recommended to use only these Berries. Using eight 120-point Berries should allow you to make a 5-star donut. You can also combine the 150-point Berries with Berries that have lower flavor scores to get the 960 flavor score total required for a 5-star donut.

There are only three regular Berries with the highest regular Berry flavor score of 35: the Roseli Berry, Chilan Berry, and Babiri Berry.
The next tier of regular Berries have a flavor score of 30, which include most of the EV-reducing Berries and a few of the Berries that negate supereffective damage.
Using these high-quality regular Berries can get you a donut that's, at most, 2 stars. Using eight 30-point Berries or seven 35-point Berries should be enough to get you a 2-star donut. Since these Berries can be easily purchased in the game without having to rely on RNG, these are the best Berries to use when making a 1- or 2-star donut.
What is Donut Flavor Score?
Total Number of Flavor Points
The flavor score is the total number of flavor points a donut has. This means it is the sum of the values of the Sweet, Spicy, Sour, Bitter, and Fresh flavors of the donut. The flavor score is not affected by the values of the level boost nor the Donut Energy.
However, since the Berries with high flavor scores also provide a high level boost and have more calories, you can expect donuts with high flavor scores to also have high level boosts and high Donut Energy.

Determines the Star Rating of the Donut
The flavor score is the value that determines what star rating a donut has. When entering a hyperspace distortion, it is recommended to use a donut that matches the star rating of the hyperspace zone to ensure you have enough bonuses to comfortably get through the hyperspace distortion.
Star Rating Affects Level Boost and Donut Energy Multiplier
| Star Rating | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| ★ 120 Flavor Score |
x1.1 |
| ★★ 240 Flavor Score |
x1.2 |
| ★★★ 350 Flavor Score |
x1.3 |
| ★★★★ 700 Flavor Score |
x1.4 |
| ★★★★★ 960 Flavor Score |
x1.5 |
The higher the rating of the donut, the more bonuses you can get to the level boost and Donut Energy. A multiplier to these values will appear when you make a donut with at least a 1-star rating. This multiplier increases alongside the star rating, with the maximum multiplier being 1.5 at 5 stars.
