Best Donut Recipes in Pokemon Legends ZA Mega Dimension

By newsgame

As players progress to higher star rarity in Hyperspace Wild Zones in Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC, the quality of the donuts they make becomes more and more important. While it is possible to skate by using whatever is available in 1★ or 2★ Hyperspace distortions, the same simply isn’t feasible in 4★ and 5★ zones.

Additionally, the needs of each player are different. One trainer might want to make a donut that will let them stay inside a high-tier Hyperspace Wild Zone for the longest time, giving them time to finish all the objectives without worry. Others may be looking for a donut that will make shiny hunting easier. This is why there is no one “best donut recipe,” but different recipes for different occasions. Here are some of the ones that are the most useful.

Mega Rayquaza awaits the most daring trainers in the Mega Dimension DLC. Learn its location, how to craft the Delta Old-Fashioned Donut, and more.

Donut Flavor Powers are completely random, and following a donut recipe will not guarantee that you will obtain the desired flavor powers, only that you can do so if the RNG is in your favor.

Desired Flavor Powers	Sparkling Power (Lv. 3)
Level Boost	Lv. +84
Calories	3,600

The Sparkling Power Flavor Power in Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension drastically increases the shiny odds for a Pokemon matching its type. There are nineteen variations of Sparkling Power, one for each individual type of Pokemon and one that simply states “All Types.”

If, for example, you have Sparkling Power: Fire, it means that when you use this donut to access a Hyperspace Wild Zone that contains a Fire-type Pokemon, the chance of that Pokemen being shiny will be high. However, if you end up using the Sparkling Power: Fire Donut to enter a Zone that does not contain a single Fire-type Pokemon, the donut’s effect will be effectively wasted. Be very careful that the types of the Pokemon in Hyperspace Distortion you are entering match the type of the Sparkling Power. If your Donut has Sparkling Power: All Types, it means that it will work for all 18 types.

The higher the calories in a Donut, the longer you can spend inside a Hyperspace Distortion. The Hyper Babiri Berry provides 400 Calories for each individual berry, the highest of any other Hyper Berry in the game.

With 4800 Calories, you can spend roughly 9 minutes in 4★ Hyperspace Zones and 7 minutes in 5★ Zones. For players who have trouble completing high-tier Hyperspace distortion and fulfilling all objectives inside, there is no better Donut than this one.

The Mega Dimension DLC for Pokemon Legends Z-A allows your party members to go beyond level 100. Here’s all you need to know about this.

Desired Flavor Powers	None
Level Boost	Lv. +120

The maximum level possible in Hyperspace distortions in Legends Z-A’s Mega Dimension is Level 200. This means that if you make a donut with a Level Boost of Lv. +108, and your Pokemon’s natural level is 100, it will not become Lv. 208 when it enters a Hyperspace; the extra +8 levels will be wasted.

The Hyper Roseli Berry provides the maximum level boost possible, adding +10 levels per each berry added, which, combined with the multiplier, becomes +120 Levels. If the natural level of your Pokemon is already at Level 100, however, making this donut is a waste (if done for purely level boosting purposes). On the flip side, if your main party Pokemon are hovering around Level 80 or so, this donut will put them on even footing against any 5★ Hyperspace Pokemon. Otherwise, making donuts that give +100 Levels will have the same result.

The Hyper Kasib Berry has the highest Sour flavor score rating in Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension, and as a result, is the best berry to use when you want a donut that has Flavor Powers exclusive to the Sour category.

Item Power: Special makes it so that when a hyper berry drops, it is of the rarest variety, ensuring that high-tier endgame Hyper Berries drop much more frequently than those of lower value. Big Haul Power increases the quantity of items you get. So if previously you would’ve gotten only two Hyper Berries, now you get eight instead. When both powers are present on the same Donut, it provides both a quantitative and a qualitative change to the drop rate of Hyper Berries.

Best Donut Recipe for Increased Catch Rate in Pokemon Legends ZA Mega Dimension

Donut Recipe	Hyper Payapa Berry x8
Desired Flavor Powers	Catching Power Lv 3, Encounter Power Lv 3
Level Boost	Lv. +96
Calories	3,600

Catching Power increases the catch rate of all Pokemon by a flat +30% when at level 3 in Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension. On the other hand, Encounter Power makes it so that the respawn timer for when Pokemon reappear after being defeated or captured in an area is lowered, meaning that if you run into a Pokemon with a particularly low catch rate, and fail to catch it, Encounter Power will make it so that it is highly probable you get another chance.

Best of all, Catching Power and Encounter Power are the easiest Flavor Powers to get on a Donut, as these are the only two powers associated with the Fresh Flavor. Since the Hyper Payapa Berry does not provide enough score in any other flavor other than Fresh to gain access to their flavor powers, meaning players are practically guaranteed that both of these powers will show up on every donut they make using 8 Hyper Payapa Berries.
