Herba Mystica is one of the late-game items that every Pokemon Scarlet & Violet player looks for, but the only way of getting it is through one of the most difficult actions in the game. Luckily, a player has discovered a way to easily farm Herba Mystica.

In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the only way to get Herba Mystica is to challenge 5 or 6-Star Tera Raids. These can be quite challenging, and even if the odds are on your side, you most likely will only get one drop every two Raids.

Even then, different variants of Herba Mystica are dropped by different Tera Raid Pokemon, which complicates things a little bit. Thankfully, a player has found a simple trick to farm Herba Mystica, and it is related to completing one of the easiest 6-Star Raids.

Raids often have low chances of dropping Herba Mystica, but the Amoonguss 6-Star Tera Raid, in particular, has a high chance of dropping all the variants of Herba Mystica. This can double or even quadruple your chances to get one once you finish the Raid.

As you can see from the above image that ‘InternationalDeer652’ shared on Reddit, the Amoonguss Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Tera Raid is dropping several varieties of Herba Mystica. Therefore, challenging this Tera Raid Battle could be a great way to invest your time if you are trying to farm them.

Since Amoongus’ 6-Star Raid Battle features the Spore move, one of the players in the comments recommended that you bring a Pokemon equipped with Safety Googles, as it prevents the effects of Spore. We also recommend you bring a Pokemon with the Insomnia ability, as it makes it immune to the effects of Spore.

Annihilape can be an excellent Pokemon to bring to the Raid, as it has the Vital Spirit ability, which also prevents it from falling asleep.

Another Reddit user named ‘demmons’ also stated that: “5 star Palafin, Amoongus, Farigaraf, Vaporeon, Dondozo, Cetitan, Glalie all have chances to drop 5x herba and are easily solo’d for the most part.”

So there you have it, if you are farming Herba Mystica, this simple trick could be a game changer for you. In the meantime, you can also check out this guide on how to get Gimmighoul Roaming Form and how to evolve Charcadet into Ceruledge or Armarouge.
