In Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC, you’ll eventually be asked to bake the Alpha Old-Fashioned Donut — a ring pastry with blue icing that’s clearly paying homage to a very specific Legendary. Like the other specialty treats, this one only “works” if its flavor stats line up.
Rolling credits and clearing Darkrai doesn’t mean you’re done. To help Ansha push her research forward, the next step is tracking down the Primal Pokémon from Hoenn. That means two more custom donuts: the Alpha Old-Fashioned Donut and the Omega Old-Fashioned Donut. She hands over both recipes at once, and you can tackle them — and the ensuing battles — in either order.
Below is the Alpha Old-Fashioned Donut recipe for Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
Alpha Old-Fashioned Donut recipe in Pokémon Legends: Z-A — Mega Dimension
To successfully make the Alpha Old-Fashioned Donut, match these flavor stats:
- 50 points in sweet
- 50 points in spicy
- 210 points in sour
- 180 points in bitter
- 370 points in fresh
You won’t be able to craft this donut until you’ve reached this part of the story. When you speak with Ansha, be sure to tell her you’re making the alpha version specifically. You’ll know your mix is correct before submitting — little checkmarks appear beside each stat on the bottom right of the prep screen.
As with the Bad Dreams Cruller, there are lots of valid berry combos that hit these numbers. One set that works is:
- 1 Hyper Yache Berry
- 1 Hyper Coba Berry
- 1 Hyper Payapa Berry
- 2 Hyper Haban Berries
- 1 Hyper Colbur Berry
- 2 Hyper Babiri Berries
There are plenty of other mixes, too. We leaned on variety rather than burning through multiples of the same berry — you’ve still got more specialty donuts ahead, and it’s easy to drain your high-tier stock if you’re not careful.
Short on ingredients? Dive back into Hyperspace pockets to farm. Higher-tier berries (the heavier hitters lower on your berry list) tend to drop more consistently from higher-star portals, so make a point to explore tougher rifts instead of sticking to one-star runs.
