Creating Shiny sandwich recipes to reach Sparkling Power 3 is the best way to boost Spawn rates for Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet — and we’ve got a rundown of every recipe you’ll need for Shiny Hunting.

Finding Shiny Pokemon has never been easier than in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, with overworld Shinies, the Shiny charm, and the making sandwiches method that increases those odds tremendously

There are a fair few different types of ingredients available, meaning that discovering these recipes on your own is a bit of a challenge — so we’ve got all the details you need below.

All Shiny sandwich recipes in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Scarlet and Violet has two different kinds of sandwich recipes that can be made: Ones that require specific kinds of Herba Mystica, and the ones that don’t.

Below, we’ve separated these two recipe types into separate tables, the first of which was discovered by SilentDestroyerSR, and all follow a specific pattern to create:

  1. Use one Cucumber + one Pickle.
  2. Select two Herba Mystica.
  3. Use the three ingredients the desired type requires.

Academy Special All-Type Sparkling Sandwich

The second part of the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC introduced the ultimate Shiny sandwich recipe called the Academy Special All-Type Sparkling Sandwich.

The most important part about this addition is that it doesn’t need any type of Herba Mystica, as players can just buy it from the chef at the Blueberry Academy’s Cafeteria for 150 BP. It has the following characteristics:

  • Egg Power (Lvl. 1): Increases the chance of finding Eggs during picnics.
  • Sparkling Power (Lvl. 1): Increases the chance of encountering Shiny Pokemon in the wild.
  • Catching Power (Lvl. 2): Increases your overall catch rates.

Of course, to access the Academy Special All-Type Sparkling Sandwich you’ll first need to acquire The Indigo Disk DLC and travel to the Blueberry Academy.

If you’re new to the expansion, here’s what Blueberry Quests are and how you can get Blueberry Points (BP) to stock yourself with plenty of sandwiches.

How to get Herba Mystica in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Unlike all of the other ingredients, players can’t buy Herba Mystica at a store.

Instead, you’ll have to complete five & six-star Tera Raid battles for a chance to farm Herba Mystica as a reward.

Five-star Tera Raid battles are available once you beat the main campaign, and six-star raids are unlocked after you beat the post-game story.

Completing Terra Raids can earn you Herba Mystica.

That being said, beating a high-level Tera Raid battle doesn’t guarantee any Herba Mystica will drop, meaning players will have to complete many raids to earn the ingredients. Though you may get lucky and have multiple Herba Mystica drops from a single raid.

That’s everything you need to know about Shiny sandwich recipes in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. For more on the game, check out our guides for the best starter to choose, egg breeding, how to get rare candy, trade codes, and the ideal gym order.
