All shiny sandwich recipes in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: How to get Herba Mystica

Herba Mystica is an ingredient used in the creation of shiny sandwiches in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Herba Mystica can be found in 5 and 6-star raids and appears in 5 different forms. They’re sometimes given away as Mystery Gift codes, too.

We have complete lists of which Herba Mystica appears in which raid below:

How to farm Herba Mystica

Farm shiny sandwich recipe ingredients via Tera Raids.

The best way to farm Herba Mystica for shiny sandwiches is to battle in 5 and 6 star raids. These raids are unlocked once you’ve completed Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. For more information on how to unlock those 5 and 6-star raids, check out our guide.

Unfortunately, event raids won’t drop Herba Mystica, so there’s no point farming those raids if you’re trying to get more shiny sandwich ingredients.

To make a shiny sandwich, you’re going to have to grab the Herba Mystica from the various Tera Raids as explained above. The drop rates of these Herba Mystica items are largely random, so it could take some time.

Once you’ve got the Herba Mystica, pick which type of Pokemon you’re looking to hunt, then look below at the recipe requirements. Usually, it’s just one extra ingredient in addition to the Herba Mystica, most of which can be found in the deli in Mesagoza.

How to simulate what shiny sandwiches do in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

If you’re curious to see what your ingredients would do, without actually making the sandwich yourself, there’s now a way to simulate the results of creating a shiny sandwich without using the items.

A player named Cecilbowen has created a website that allows you to pick whatever items you want, and see what the result would be if you submitted them into an in-game sandwich.

Considering how limited the ingredients are, and the fact that even if you get the perfect circumstances to spawn a shiny Pokemon, it’s still up to chance, we recommend using the shiny sandwich simulator before setting off on a hunt.


All shiny sandwich recipes in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet : The isolated encounter method

Eating the right shiny sandwich for the type of shiny you’re hunting for can dramatically increase your odds.

A new method for finding shiny Pokemon, known as the isolated encounter method, has hugely sped up the process of finding shiny Pokemon.

In order to do this,  you’re going to need to use the shiny sandwiches found above, in order to trick the game into only spawning one type of Pokemon in an area over and over again, hugely increasing your odds of finding a shiny one.

The Isolated encounter method seeks to completely eliminate most of the Pokemon from appearing in the overworld. For example, in the grass near the Fairy-type Team Star base, a large number of Pokemon can appear. However, Espeon is the only Psychic-type Pokemon that can appear in that area.
