Malasada

Malasada (Japanese: マラサダ malasada) is a food common in Alola. It is based on real-world s, which are common in Hawaii. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, malasada shops sell two basic varieties of malasadas that have different effects. There are malasada shops in Hau'oli City, Royal Avenue, and Malie City.

Flavored malasada
The flavored malasadas are sold by the left-hand attendant at malasada shops for 200. Different shops sell different flavors. A sixth type of flavored malasada, Mythic Malasada, also appears rarely at all shops. It appears for exactly one week at a time and then disappears again until 31 days later. For example, if Mythic Malasada appears at a shop on January 1, it will remain until January 7, and then it will disappear again until February 7. The game treats the date the player started their adventure as the day just after when Mythic Malasada was last available in shops (for example, if the player's adventure started on January 8, Mythic Malasadas would appear on February 7). If the 3DS's time is changed, the new date is treated the same way.
 * Hau'oli City: Sweet Malasada
 * Royal Avenue: Sour Malasada, Dry Malasada
 * Malie City: Spicy Malasada, Bitter Malasada

These malasadas increase a Pokémon's affection by 3, 5, or 10 points, depending on whether it dislikes, is neutral to, or likes the flavor (respectively). Mythic Malasada increases a Pokémon's affection by 13 regardless of its preferences. They also make the Pokémon totally full. A Pokémon with fullness of level 4 or more cannot eat any flavored malasadas.
