How to Choose the Best Malasada [Pokémon Sun and Moon]

Detailed information on the relationship between nature of Pokemon and flavors of Malasada in Pokemon Sun and Moon. 

Malasada

• The Malasada is a new item introduced in the Alola Region. This item can increase a Pokemon’s affection rating. There are different flavors of Malasada and each flavor may be liked or disliked depending on the Pokemon’s nature. Since certain natures prefer certain malasada flavors, it is recommended to feed a certain nature with its favorite flavor.

※ Bear in mind that Affection is an entirely different stat from friendship

Other types of Malsada

• You can purchase the Big Malasada once a day for 350 pokédollars a piece. This item cures a Pokemon’s status condition similar to the effects of using the item Full Heal.

• On rare occasions, you can purchase the Mythic Malasada which grants the highest boost to the Pokemon’s affection rating. Keep in mind that you can only purchase it for 1 week and can occur at a random time each month.

Relationship between the Malasada and the Pokemon’s Nature

The Affection given by each flavor can be simplified as ◎> ○> △> ▲ starting from: the leftmost being the flavor that gives the highest affection (◎), the flavor liked by the nature (○), the flavor that the nature is neutral to (△), and the flavor that the nature dislikes (▲).
