The Sparkly Occa Meringue donut has the chance to grant you Sparkling Power that applies to all types. The outcome will depend on your luck, but having more Sparkling Power for all types will raise the chances of you encountering a Shiny in the wild.
To start the process, head over to Hotel Z, where you'll find Ansha. Proceed with your order, and then add the following Hyper Berries.
- Four Hyper Occa Berry (60 Sweet, 5 Bitter, and 25 Fresh)
- Three Hyper Chople Berry (55 Sweet, 5 Spicy, 15 Sour, and 25 Bitter)
- One Hyper Occa Berry (60 Sweet, 5 Bitter, and 25 Fresh)
Confirm your order by picking the Make Donut option to begin the process. The Sparkly Occa Meringue donut can have the following properties.
- Sparkling Power
- Humungo Power
- Catching Power
There's also a chance for this donut to have Alpha power, according to some players. Ultimately, the final outcome will have different possibilities even with the same layout. Nevertheless, the Sparkly Occa Meringue donut appears to be the best shot if you're looking to raise your chances of finding shiny variants.

There are plenty of special donuts to bake in Pokémon Legends Z-A. Some like the Bad Dreams Cruller is required to complete a quest and move along the DLC storyline. Then there are the Old-Fashioned donuts that allow you to unlock special boss fights against Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza.
Ultimately, baking the special donuts will require patience since getting all the Hyper Berries won't be quick.
