We’ve listed every shiny sandwich recipe you’ll need to generate Sparkling Power 3 in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to make farming shinies a breeze.

All shiny sandwich recipes in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: How to get Herba Mystica
Herba Mystica is an ingredient in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. It’s used in the creation of shiny sandwiches and appears in 5 different forms.
If you’re looking to make some of the most complex Shiny Sandwich recipes, especially those that give Sparkling power, you’re going to need Herba Mystica. Herba Mystica can be found in 5 and 6-star raids.
There are also rare cases wherein Herba Mystica is a reward for in-game events and Mystery Gift codes.
We have complete lists of which Herba Mystica appears in which raid which you can see here.
How to farm Herba Mystica
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.
All shiny sandwich recipes in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
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. You can use the tool here.
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
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.
