How to Increase Shiny Odds in Pokemon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension DLC

by

The Mega Dimension DLC for Pokemon Legends Z-A added several new features, including a way to improve your chances of finding Shiny Pokemon. This mechanic works a lot like the one in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, but with a unique twist involving donuts! If you’re looking to learn how to boost your Shiny Pokemon odds and make catching them easier, you’ve come to the right place.

This guide has everything you need to know about Sparkling Power Donuts, including popular recipes and tips for making the best ones to boost your Shiny Hunt. Let’s start by looking at how to get the ingredients.

How To Increase Shiny Odds with Donuts in Pokemon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension DLC

To make the very best Donuts in Pokemon Legends Z-A Mega Dimension, you need to finish all of the main story quests in the downloadable content. After you unlock both Hyperspace Butter and the ability to use eight ingredients when cooking, you’ll be able to craft Sparkling Power Donuts.

You can create these donuts by maximizing their sweetness (the pink stat). There are many different ways to combine ingredients to make the perfect Sparkling Power Donut. Remember to also pay attention to the donut’s level and use it for challenges in the Wild Zone that match its strength. Here are some examples, grouped by level:

Lvl 60+ Recipe Lvl 70+ Recipe Lvl 90+ Recipe
  • 5 Hyper Occa Berries
  • 3 Hyper Chople Berries
  • 2 Hyper Occa Berries
  • 6 Hyper Tanga Berries
  • 3 Hyper Tanga Berries
  • 5 Hyper Haban Berries

Players can also create powerful donuts by using any mix of berries as long as the total sweetness is over 360, and the levels of bitterness, spice, and sourness each stay below 50. A little bit of freshness (up to 180) is okay, but too much might make it harder to get donuts with the Sparkling Power effect.

The Sparkling Power boost comes in many different versions, depending on the element – like Ghost, Fire, or Water – and there’s also a version that works with all elements. Getting any specific element, or the all-element version, is completely random.

Bonuses have three levels – 1, 2, and 3 – and become more powerful as the level increases. Sometimes, players may receive Tiny Power or Humongous Power instead of Sparkling Power, as these are also part of the same group of bonuses.

If you select a Sparkling Power Donut while in a Hyperspace Wild Zone, you might trigger a special mission to catch a Shiny Pokémon. Completing this mission will reward you with 4,500 survey points.

Just so you know, this doesn’t mean a Shiny Pokemon will definitely appear in the Hyperspace Wild Zone. It simply means the chance of finding a Shiny is about the same as finding an Alpha Pokemon. Make the most of this opportunity and try to catch those rare Shiny Pokemon!
