Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players are often seen searching for the shiny variants of their favorite in-game Pocket Monsters. Locating and encountering a Shiny Pokemon takes extreme luck and perseverance, and finding the Shiny variants of some monsters might take forever. Among the several types of Pocket Monsters abundant on the map of Paldea, each of them requires a specific recipe for shiny boosting sandwiches.

The main ingredient to make a Shiny Flying Sandwich is Prosciutto and two Salty Herba Mystica. While trainers can purchase Prosciutto at Deli Cioso for 200 Pokedollars, the Scarlet and Violet Salty Herba Mysticas can only be harvested by partaking in 5- and 6-star Tera Raids. There is no guarantee of Salty Herba Mystica dropping in each trial, and one should have the perseverance to collect a considerable amount of it.
