Craft a Delta Old-Fashioned Donut so legendary it changes how you chase flavor in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension.
Delta Old-Fashioned Donut recipe in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension
In Delta Old-Fashioned Donut, craft the batter with Delta sugar, a dusting of vanilla, and a splash of citrus zest, then fry until the exterior bronzes and the center stays tender, finishing with a glaze that gleams like a rare badge under gym lights.
In order to make this donut, you’ll need the following flavors:
- 120 points in sweet
- 40 points in spicy
- 340 points in sour
- 40 points in bitter
- 390 points in fresh
That is a nasty-sounding donut, I’m not going to lie to you.
Again, you won’t be able to make this donut if you’re not at this part of the story, and you’ll need to tell Ansha specifically that you’re looking to make this delta donut when you talk to her.
You’ll be able to tell that the recipe will work before submitting it, because small checkmarks will appear near each of the stats in the bottom right corner.
Just like the donuts before this, there are a lot of different recipe combinations to use, but here are two that worked for us. This one uses a lot of Hyper Colbur Berries:
- 1 Hyper Chople Berry
- 1 Hyper Tanga Berry
- 5 Hyper Colbur Berries
- 1 Hyper Chilan Berry
If you don’t want to use that many of the same berry, here’s a recipe with a more balanced spread (though it still uses quite a few Hyper Colbur Berries):
- 1 Hyper Charti Berry
- 2 Hyper Haban Berries
- 3 Hyper Colbur Berries
- 2 Hyper Roseli Berries
Hyper Colbur Berries are going to be the most-used berry in this recipe, since it gives so many points in sour and fresh.
Best Hyper Berry combinations to hit exact flavor totals
Flavor Targets Recap
Delta Old-Fashioned Donut requires precise Hyper Berry mixes hitting at least 120 Sweet, 40 Spicy, 340 Sour, 40 Bitter, and 390 Fresh. Exact matches are rare; slight overruns work if minimums clear for checkmarks during preview at Ansha’s bakery.
Top Hyper Berry Combinations
Efficient recipes prioritize Hyper Berries with dominant flavors while balancing others. These “best” options minimize waste and use high-yield berries like Kasib (Sour focus) or Roseli (Sour/Spicy).
| Recipe | Berries | Flavor Breakdown | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balanced Starter | 1 Hyper Oran, 1 Yache, 1 Payapa, 1 Kasib, 1 Haban, 2 Colbur, 1 Roseli | Sweet ~130, Spicy ~45, Sour ~350, Bitter ~45, Fresh ~400 | Reliable for first crafts; farm extras from 4-5 star portals. |
| Sour-Heavy Efficient | 4 Hyper Colbur + adjustments (e.g., 1 Roseli, 1 Babiri, Oran fillers) | Sour ~360, Fresh/Bitter ~410/50, others minimal | Maximizes Colbur’s Fresh/Sour; preview to tweak. |
| Minimal Berry Max | 1 Hyper Charti, 2 Haban, 3 Colbur | Sweet ~125, Spicy ~50, Sour ~345, Bitter ~45, Fresh ~410 | Fewer berries needed; upscale with Kasib for excess Sour. |
Tips for Optimization
Preview flavor totals before baking-green checkmarks confirm viability. Use Hyperspace Butter for 8 slots if unlocked. Farm Sour leaders like Hyper Kasib (95 Sour) from 5-star Hyperspace for future crafts.
Which exact flavor totals unlock Item Power Berries Level 3
Item Power: Berries Level 3 activates through high Sour flavor totals on donuts, typically via stacking Sour-heavy Hyper Berries like Kasib.
Activation Threshold
A Sour total exceeding 400 unlocks the chance for Level 3 effects, including Item Power: Berries Lv. 3, often alongside Big Haul Power Lv. 3. Lower totals (e.g., 200-300 Sour) cap at Level 2; preview donuts show powers post-bake.
Key Berry Flavors for Sour
Hyper Kasib Berry delivers 95 Sour with minimal spillover (10 Sweet/Fresh), making it ideal for pure Level 3 rolls. Supporting options include Hyper Roseli (85 Sour/65 Spicy) or Hyper Colbur (65 Sour/85 Fresh).
Optimal Recipes
Stack 7-8 Hyper Kasib Berries for ~665-760 Sour to guarantee Level 3 potential while minimizing other flavors. Backup save before baking to reroll suboptimal powers.
