How to Raise Donut Energy
Use Berries with High Cal.
Donut Energy is determined by the Cal. value of the Berries used to make a donut. The higher the calories, the more Donut Energy is provided.
It's recommended to use Hyper Berries with high Cal. values if you need a donut with a lot of Donut Energy.
Regular Berries Are Not Recommended
It is not recommended to use regular Berries if you want donuts that provide a good amount of Donut Energy. The regular Berries with the highest calorie value only provide 70 Cal., while the Hyper Berry with the highest Cal. value goes up to a whopping 400 Cal.
Increase the Flavor Score
| Star Rating | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| ★ 120 Flavor Score |

| ★★ 240 Flavor Score |
x1.2 |
| ★★★ 350 Flavor Score |
x1.3 |
| ★★★★ 700 Flavor Score |
x1.4 |
| ★★★★★ 960 Flavor Score |
x1.5 |
Donuts with star ratings have a multiplier added to the level boost and Donut Energy values. The higher the star rating, the bigger the multiplier. Donuts with 5 stars have their Donut Energy value increased by 1.5x.
Try to make donuts with high flavor scores in order to get a boost to your Donut Energy.

95 | 10 | 10 | 5 | 0 | 7 | 300 |
 Hyper Payapa Berry |
5 | 0 | 10 | 10 | 95 | 8 | 300 |
These are the Berries that can provide the most amount of Donut Energy in the game, with each being able to provide 300 Cal. or above. The Berry that can provide the most amount of Donut Energy is the Hyper Babiri Berry at 400 Cal.
If you want to make a donut with the maximum possible Donut Energy, you can use 8 Hyper Babiri Berries to make a donut. However, this Berry may be difficult to obtain in large amounts, since it is a random drop from floating Poke Balls and Bonus Balls in 4-star and 5-star Hyperspace Zones.
Donut Energy Consumption Time
1 Cal. Per Second in 1-Star Distortions
The speed at which Donut Energy is depleted depends on the star rating of the hyperspace distortion you're in. The higher the star rating, the faster Donut Energy is consumed.
1-star hyperspace distortions deplete your Donut Energy at a rate of about 1 Cal. per second. Combined with the lower difficulty of 1-star distortions, this allows you to comfortably use low-energy donuts made with regular Berries in these areas.

10 Cal. Per Second in 5-Star Distortions
Donut Energy is burned faster in hyperspace distortions with higher star ratings compared to those with lower star ratings, so donuts with a lot of Donut Energy are best used for 5-star and 4-star Hyperspace Zones.
In 5-star hyperspace distortions, Donut Energy is depleted at a rate of about 10 Cal. per second.

What is Donut Energy?
Timer Inside Hyperspace Distortions
While inside a hyperspace distortion, the available Donut Energy can be found on the upper left corner. This number depletes as you stay in the hyperspace area.
If inside a Hyperspace Rogue Mega Arena, the Donut Energy timer can be paused temporarily by picking up black orbs. This gives you a bit more time to defeat the tough high-level Mega Evolved Pokemon.
