Using picnics to get eggs is widely used for a variety of reasons. In this guide, I will go over how to make egg power sandwiches, in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
The eggs system introduced in Generation 2 allows players to hunt for shiny Pokemon, get a complete living dex, or even prepare a competitive team with the correct IVs.
The picnic mechanic simplified the process in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Instead of waiting for the daycare man to give you the egg, simply by having a picnic with the Pokemon you want eggs would be found in the basket.
Despite the simplified process, getting all the eggs you would want still takes time, but the game has players covered. Among the many sandwiches you can make, some provide players with the Egg Power effect.
There are three levels to the Egg Power buff, with increasing effects for each level. I will detail all the recipes that have the Egg Power in them and all the foods you can purchase that give it to you.
