Using Sandwich recipes to make Sparkling Power Sandwiches will increase your chances of encountering Shiny Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet. The end goal of these games is to complete the Pokedex. However, veteran trainers are always on the lookout for Shiny Pokemon. The introduction of the Picnic and Sandwich mechanic makes it easier to find these rare variants. Using specific Meal Powers, you can make your Shiny Hunting experience much more fruitful. Like using Water Shiny Sandwich to catch shiny variants of Wiglett, Palafin, or Dondozo.
How to Make Sparkling Power Sandwiches to Find Shiny Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet
- Your chances of encountering Shiny Pokemon are the highest when you consume Sandwiches with Sparkling and Encounter level 3 Meal Powers.
- To get these meal powers, you will need various Herba Mystica as ingredients. You can get them by participating in 5-Star and 6-Star Tera Raids.
- Once you collect enough, you can set up a Picnic and start the preparation. However, these are not preset recipes you can buy in the game.
- To make these Sparkling Power Shiny Sandwiches, you will need to open the Creative Mode to create custom recipes by pressing the X Button in the Sandwich Menu.
- Then, like other sandwiches, you can choose ingredients and stack them on the bread to make it.
- Note that, if the ingredients fall off the bread, then the Meal Power will not work as you want. So you should use recipes with minimum ingredients.
