Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: ALL Shiny Sandwich Recipes

Shiny Sandwiches in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet are extremely useful, as they boost encounter rates for their corresponding Shiny type Pokemon.

Fortunately, there are multiple ways to prepare these shiny sandwiches – and I am here today to share them all. Before we start, take a look at the sandwich Ingredients in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet to make sure you have everything you need to prepare them.

How to Make Dark Type Shiny Sandwich in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

You can use three different recipes to make the Dark-type Shiny sandwich in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

The easiest is from mixing 1 Smoked Filet, 1 Salty Herba Mystica and 1 Sweet Herba Mystica at a Picnic table.

However, there are two other alternatives you can try:

1. 1 Smoked Filet, 1 Salty Herba Mystica and 1 Spicy Herba Mystica
2. 1 Smoked Filet, 1 Salty Herba Mystica and 1 Sour Herba Mystica

IMPORTANT: You are not able to craft any type of Shiny Sandwich until you unlock the Sparkling Power Sandwich in the game. This is the generic “Shiny Sandwich” that increases the chances of encountering shiny Pokemon.

Once you have unlocked the Sparkling Power Sandwich, you can craft any of the dedicated Shiny Pokemon boosting sandwiches, including the Shiny Dragon Type sandwich.

And since you’re already getting into sandwich-making, make sure to check out my previous article listing the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: Raid Power Sandwich Recipes.

How to Make Dragon Type Shiny Sandwich

All you need to create this sandwich is one Avocado and two pieces of Salty Herba Mystica.

Alternatively, you can use 1 Avocado + 1 Salty Herba Mystica + 1 Spicy Herba Mystica for the same type of sandwich.

In the end, it all depends on what ingredients you have on hand. Since Herba Mysticas are very difficult to get, each player will have different stocks on hand. It’s good to know that we have options, right?

How to Make Fire Type Shiny Sandwich

You will get a Fire-type Shiny Boosting sandwich in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet if you use a picnic table and place 1 Basil, 1 Salty Herba Mystica and 1 Sweet Herba Mystica on the loaf of bread. These are the ingredients you need for it.

You have two alternate recipes, too:

• 1 Basil + 1 Salty Herba Mystica + 1 Sour Herba Mystica
• 1 Basil + 1 Salty Herba Mystica + 1 Spicy Herba Mystica

So make sure to try out the recipe above if you don’t have a ton of Salty Herba Mysticas for your Shiny Fire-Type Boosting Sandwich.

How to Make Ghost Type Shiny Sandwich

In order to make the Ghost Type Shiny Boosting Sandwich in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you need 1 Red Onion and 2 Salty Herba Mystica.

Place them on your loaf of bread and you will have your sandwich ready! Or, if you don’t have 2 Salty Herba Mystica on hand, these combinations work just as well:

• 1 Red Onion + 1 Salty Herba Mystica + 1 Spicy Herba Mystica
• 1 Red Onion + 1 Salty Herba Mystica + 1 Sour Herba Mystica

How to Make Poison Type Shiny Sandwich

There are currently four different recipes that I know of – all of which giving you this type of sandwich.

They use all the types of herba mysticas available in the game, which is a good thing as this gives you some alternatives in case you don’t have one of the rarer ingredients.

Here are the recipes:

• 1 Noodles + 2 Salty Herba Mystica
• 1 Noodles + 1 Salty Herba Mystica + 1 Sour Herba Mystica
• 1 Noodles + 1 Salty Herba Mystica + 1 Spicy Herba Mystica
• 1 Noodles + 1 Salty Herba Mystica + 1 Sweet Herba Mystica

All these combinations will give you a Shiny Boosting Sandwich for Poison Type pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

How to Make Steel Type Shiny Sandwich

For a Steel Type Shiny Boosting Sandwich in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you need to combine 1 Hamburger, 1 Salty Herba Mystica and 1 Sweet Herba Mystica on a loaf of bread at your Picnic table. This will boost your chances of meeting Shiny Steel Pokemon.

But if you don’t have the Sweet Herba Mystica, you can switch that with any of the two other types of the herb.

How to Make Water Type Shiny Boosting Sandwich

This is what you need: to make a Water-Type Shiny Boost Sandwich in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you need 1 Cucumber and 2 Salty Herba Mystica. Use them on a loaf of bread during a Picnic, and you’re all set!

There is an alternative recipe, too:

1 Cucumber + 1 Salty Herba Mystica + 1 Spicy Herba Mystica

How to Make Fairy Type Shiny Sandwich

Making the Fairy Type Shiny Boosting Sandwich in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet requires you to have 1 Tomato and 2 Salty Herba Mystica. Place the ingredients on the loaf of bread at a Picnic table and you’re all set!

One solid alternative is: 1 Tomato + 1 Salty Herba Mystica + 1 Spicy Herba Mystica.

Wrapping up

There are other recipes that can give you some of these sandwiches, but they require more ingredients which are more difficult to get, so I have not listed them. I only listed the best, super-optimized shiny sandwich recipes above.
