What Are Ansha’s Donuts Used For in Pokemon Legends Z-A?
In the Mega Dimension DLC for Pokemon Legends Z-A, you will meet Ansha at the very beginning and help her get set up to make donuts as your first mission. After completing this first mission, titled Donuts of Otherworldly Deliciousness, you will be able to speak to Ansha at Hotel Z-A whenever you’d like to craft some donuts.
Donuts are crafted from Berries, with an initial limit on how many you can include in your recipe. However, as you continue to progress through the Mega Dimension DLC, you will unlock additional options. Donuts are required to enter Hyperspace Lumiose, so you will need to keep a good stock of them at most times to feed to Hoopa.
A donut’s Level Boost increases the level of the Pokemon in your party, based on the flavor score. This can be used to exceed the level cap, enabling your Pokemon to go beyond Level 100 for a much more even matchup against some of the tougher Mega Evolution bosses in Hyperspace Lumiose.
The Donut Energy, which is ranked by the amount of calories each donut has, determines how long you can spend in Hyperspace. Lastly, the flavor of your donut, determined by which Berries you use, will offer a specific effect, as listed below:
- Bitter – Increases durability, reduces damage
- Spicy – Increases skill power and attack power
- Sweet – Increases chances of shiny Pokemon encounters
- Fresh – Increases capture and encounter rates
- Sour – Increases item collection efficiency
How to Make Donuts in Pokemon Legends Z-A
To make donuts in Pokemon Legends Z-A, head to Hotel Z-A and speak to Ansha. You will then be able to mix and match different Berries from your inventory to create a Donut recipe/order. Trainers can experiment with different combinations of Berries to gain different effects.
After confirming your order, Ansha will whip up a Donut for you, based on your selections. You can then later use the Donuts Ansha makes to travel through a portal to Hyperspace Lumiose. This is achieved by feeding one to Hoopa, with whichever one you choose to feed granting the different bonus effects, levels, and timer for your Hyperspace expedition.
