If you want to make Shiny Sandwiches in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you’ll need to get your hands on lots of Herba Mystica. Here’s everything you need to get it, including the best five and six-star Pokemon Raids to tackle, effects, and more.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players have been grinding across Paldea to complete the game’s main story and its two-part DLC after The Indigo Disk came out. Once you’ve grabbed all your badges and completed the main storyline and expansions, many players immediately turn to shiny hunting.

Shiny hunting can be tough, but there are ways to boost your odds of catching these rare Pokemon. One way to do this is by making sandwiches, and adding Herba Mystica to these will create Sparkling Power sandwiches (AKA Shiny Sandwiches), which boost your chances even further.

So, here’s how to get Herba Mystica in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Herba Mystica can be acquired by completing five and six-star Tera Raids in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and this method can be repeated to farm these precious items.

Unfortunately, you won’t earn Herba Mystica every time you complete a Raid, and may have to finish multiple Raids before you get your hands on some, as it is an uncommon drop.
