Part of the Hyperspace Lumiose Survey No. 6 mission in Pokemon Legends: Z-A's Mega Dimension DLC tasks players with making a Bad Dreams Cruller donut. This donut makes it possible to enter the huge distortion over the tower, and it is created by hitting certain flavor profile requirements. This guide details those requirements, and it will help players make a Bad Dreams Cruller in Pokemon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimension.

For those players who simply want a small push in the right direction, a brown outline appears on the flavor profile graph when working to make the Bad Dreams Cruller. Find a selection of berries that will fill that outline entirely with yellow, and a checkmark will appear next to a flavor when its requirement is met.

Talk to Ansha

After speaking with Corbeau about the Bad Dreams Cruller during the Hyperspace Lumiose Survey No. 6 mission, players should talk to Ansha at Hotel Z. During this conversation, players should select "I'd like to try the cruller recipe" to be taken to the donut crafting menu, which they will be quite familiar with at this point in the DLC.

Select the Berries

Pokemon Legends: Z-A players must now select berries that will create a donut with a certain flavor profile. Players can see the current state of the donut's flavor profile in the bottom-right corner of the screen as they pick berries, and here are the stats they must hit to create the Bad Dreams Cruller:

  • 310+ Sour
  • 100+ Spicy
  • 310+ Sweet
  • 40+ Bitter
  • 40+ Fresh

With such high Sour and Sweet requirements, it is recommended that players begin by picking berries in Pokemon Legends: Z-A that are high in those flavors. Each Hyper Kasib Berry, for example, provides 95 Sour (orange), while each Hyper Tanga Berry provides 95 Sweet (pink). Once the player has used those berries to get close to 310 Sweet and Sour, they can use the remaining berry slots to deal with the Spicy, Bitter, and Fresh requirements.

While players who use the aforementioned strategy can create a Bad Dreams Cruller with several berry combinations, landing on one that is suitable may still prove to be tricky. For those players who are struggling to find a good selection of berries, here is one that is guaranteed to make a Bad Dreams Cruller:

  • 3x Hyper Kasib Berry
  • 3x Hyper Tanga Berry
  • 1x Hyper Kelpsy Berry
  • 1x Hyper Coba Berry

While it is expected that most readers will have access to these berries, those that do not should head into some Hyperspace Distortions and destroy the floating Poke Balls that they find there.
