Craving a Bad Dreams Cruller donut that haunts your Pokémon Legends: Z-A dreams? This guide reveals the recipe straight from Lumiose City’s Mega Dimension bakeries.
Bad Dreams Cruller recipe in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension
The Bad Dreams Cruller donut in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension is a spooky pastry crafted from nightshade-infused batter twisted into a crescent, fried to a crisp amber, then glazed with a lavender-tinged sugar that glows faintly under moonlight, offering a ghostly crunch and a subtle, haunting sweetness as you chase down elusive clues across the dimly lit in-game kitchens.
Corbeau provides you with the recipe, but if you missed what he said, here are the requirements for this special donut:
- 310 points in sweet
- 310 points in sour
- 100 points in spicy
- 40 points in bitter
- 40 points in fresh
To make the Bad Dreams Cruller, you’ll need to tell Ansha specifically that you want to try making this special donut, which should be the first option when you talk to her. That being said, no, you cannot just make this donut willy-nilly without having this mission active, as you’ll also need a special ingredient that Corbeau gives you.
There are a ton of different combinations you can use to make this donut, with many recipes using this as a base:
- 1 Hyper Coba Berry
- 3 Hyper Tanga Berries
- 3 Hyper Kasib Berries
From here, you can use any berry that gives the remaining bitter and fresh points, like a Hyper Yache Berry, a Hyper Kelpsy Berry, a Hyper Sitrus Berry – the list goes on. You’ll know that your donut meets the qualifications, as little checkmarks will appear below each stat on the chart in the bottom right corner.
However, if you’re lacking Hyper Tanga and Kasib Berries (as they can be kind of annoying to find specifically), you can use this recipe, which uses less of those berries:
- 1 Hyper Qualot Berry
- 1 Hyper Chople Berry
- 1 Hyper Shuca Berry
- 1 Hyper Coba Berry
- 2 Hyper Tanga Berries
- 2 Hyper Kasib Berries
Where to find Ansha in Pokemon Legends: Z-A
Ansha is first encountered on the roof of Hotel Z in Lumiose City at the start of the Mega Dimension DLC in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, specifically during Side Mission 120. She appears there with her partner Hoopa, marking the entry point for the DLC storyline.
Later Locations
Ansha relocates to the Saison Canalside area in Jaune District near the Justice Dojo after the initial meeting, where she demonstrates Hoopa’s portal abilities. She is Diantha’s daughter and plays a key role in donut crafting quests, including the Bad Dreams Cruller.
Finding Tips
Progress through the main game and start Side Mission 120 by heading to Hotel Z’s elevator to access the roof. She remains central to Mega Dimension missions involving Rayquaza and Darkrai-related events.
Where to find Ansha in Hotel Z roof location for Mega Dimension DLC
To reach Ansha on the Hotel Z roof in Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC, enter Hotel Z’s front door in Lumiose City and head straight to the elevator at the back. Take the elevator up to the roof level, where a cutscene triggers automatically upon arrival, introducing Ansha and her Hoopa partner during Side Mission 120.
Prerequisites
Complete the main storyline first, then install and launch the Mega Dimension DLC to receive the notification about the rooftop meeting. This spot is fixed for the DLC’s opening sequence before Ansha relocates later.
Troubleshooting
If the elevator isn’t accessible or no notification appears, ensure DLC progress hasn’t advanced her position-reload a save or check your mission log for Side Mission 120. She’s always visible centrally on the open roof post-elevator.
