Ultimate Guide to Pokémon Legends ZA Mega Dimension DLC: Crafting Power Donuts for Shiny Hunting

Pokemon Legends ZA Mega Dimension DLC introduces an exciting new cooking system where players can create powerful donuts from rare berries to enhance their gameplay experience. These donuts provide various buffs, including boosts to shiny rates, alpha rates, stat boosts, and more, making them essential for players aiming to power up their Pokemon and improve their shiny hunting odds. In this guide, we'll break down everything you need to know about donuts, including how to craft them, what ingredients to use, and the best strategies for maximizing your shiny hunts.

 


 

What Are Donuts in Pokemon Legends ZA?

 

In this DLC, donuts are a key part of your exploration in Lumios. To make donuts, you’ll need regular berries found throughout the game world and Hyperspace berries, which are exclusive to Hyperspace Lumios. These Hyperspace berries are vital because they provide the flavor points that determine the effects of your donuts. The more power points you stack, the stronger the buffs you get.

 

These donuts are not just for show—they offer real benefits in your gameplay, such as boosting shiny rates or increasing your chances of encountering powerful Pokemon. Understanding how to craft the perfect donut will help you get the most out of these new features.

 


 

Unlocking Ingredient Slots and Progression

 

At the start of the game, you’ll only have a few slots to craft donuts. However, as you progress through the main storyline, you’ll unlock additional slots by defeating certain mega-evolved Pokemon. By the time you reach the late game, you’ll have up to eight ingredient slots, allowing you to create more powerful donuts with higher buffs.

 

It’s important to note that unlocking these slots is tied to your progress in the story, so make sure you’re completing key quests and battling through difficult areas to maximize your donut crafting potential.

 


 

Donut Stats and Buffs

 

Each donut has several important stats that influence its effectiveness:

 

  • Level Boost: Temporarily boosts your Pokemon’s level, making it stronger during your Hyperspace Lumios exploration.
  • Survey Time: Determines how long you can stay in Hyperspace Lumios. Longer survey times allow more exploration and the chance to gather more items and berries.
  • Flavor Score: This acts as a multiplier for your buffs. Higher flavor scores result in stronger effects for shiny hunting and other boosts.

 

There are several types of flavors, each offering unique benefits:

 

  • Spicy: Provides offensive stat boosts.
  • Bitter: Offers defensive stat boosts.
  • Sour: Boosts berry yield and gives item power boosts, including for Mega Evolutions.
  • Fresh: Increases encounter power and boosts your Pokemon capture rates.
  • Sweet: The go-to flavor for shiny hunting, boosting sparkling, alpha, humongo, and tinsy powers.

 

Sweet flavor is particularly useful if you’re aiming to buy shiny Pokemon or want to increase your odds of finding a rare shiny in the wild.

 


 

Crafting Perfect Donuts: Recipes and Tips

 

The key to creating the perfect donuts lies in using the right combinations of berries. Each donut has specific flavor requirements, and it’s up to you to mix and match berries that meet or exceed these requirements. Here are some of the best donut recipes:

 

  • Bad Dreams Cruller (summons Darkrai):
    • Flavor Requirements: 310 Sweet, 100 Spicy, 310 Sour, 40 Bitter, 40 Fresh.
    • Recommended Recipe: Three Hyper Tanga, Three Hyper Casib, One Hyper Coba, and One Hyper Keia.
  • Omega Old-Fashioned Donut (summons Groudon):
    • Flavor Requirements: 260 Sweet, 160 Spicy, 160 Sour, 20 Bitter, 260 Fresh.
    • Recommended Recipe: Two Hyper Roselli, Three Hyper Tanga, and Three Hyper Pyappa.
  • Alpha Old-Fashioned Donut (summons Kyogre):
    • Flavor Requirements: 50 Sweet, 50 Spicy, 210 Sour, 180 Bitter, 370 Fresh.
    • Recommended Recipe: Two Hyper Habanberries, Three Hyper Colar, and One Hyper Charty.

 

If you're aiming to craft cheap shiny Pokemon, consider using donuts that boost your shiny hunting capabilities, like the Sweet-flavored ones. Keep in mind that creating the perfect donut isn’t just about matching flavor points—it’s also about experimenting and trying different combinations to get the best possible outcome.

 


 

The Importance of Hyperspace Berries

 

Hyperspace berries are the cornerstone of crafting the best donuts. These berries are essential for reaching high flavor scores and ensuring you get the best possible buffs. If you’re worried about running low on these rare berries, U4GM is a great place to find affordable options, where you can buy shiny Pokemon or farm more berries to continue crafting.

 


 

Maximizing Your Shiny Hunts

 

One of the most exciting features of these donuts is their ability to supercharge your shiny hunting efforts. By crafting donuts with a high Sweet flavor score, you’ll increase your odds of encountering shiny Pokemon. The higher the Sweet score, the better your chances of encountering a shiny in the wild. It’s not just about finding shinies faster, but also about making your shiny hunts more efficient.

 

Additionally, Sweet donuts can increase the alpha rates, which makes them a must-have for any serious shiny hunter. Whether you’re just starting out or are already deep into your shiny hunting journey, these donuts will significantly improve your chances.

 

Pokemon Legends ZA Mega Dimension DLC’s donut system adds a layer of strategy and fun to the game. By crafting the right donuts and maximizing your buffs, you can enhance your gameplay experience and boost your chances of finding shiny Pokemon. Don’t forget to experiment with different berry combinations and use the backup save system to ensure you get the perfect donut powers.

 

For players looking to buy shiny Pokemon, creating the right donuts can save time and effort by increasing your odds of finding rare ones in the wild.
