As mentioned, a Shiny Sandwich is one of the core items in the game which will allow you to have a much higher encounter rate with a Shiny variant of a Pokemon of that element.

To make the Shiny Ice Sandwich in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you will be required to:

  • Get your hands on 1x Klawf Stick, and 2x Salty Herba Mystica. As these are the two core ingredients of the food item, you will be required to get your hands on the item if you wish to make the Shiny Ice Sandwich in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
  • You will be able to make it during one of the picnic sessions you chose to have in the wild of Paldea. Upon making and then consuming it, you will then have a much higher chance of encountering Shiny Ice Pokemon.
  • Herba Mystica is some of the hardest and rarest resources to come by in the game. The only good way to go about obtaining them will be to take part in terra Raids. However make sure that these are 5-6 Star Raids, as the lower-level ones will not be providing you with a Herba Mystica.
  • You will be able to purchase a Klawf Stick at the Aquiesta Supermarket in Levincia. The town is home to the Pokemon Gym Leader, Lono. Here the Klawf Stick will sell for 500 Pokedollars a piece.
  • Once, you consume the sandwich, the meal power of encountering more shiny Ice Pokemon will be active for 30 minutes. It’s important that you not waste the buff, and only consume it once you are specifically out looking for shinies in the snowy areas of Paldea.

Shiny Pokemon are indeed something that many Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players would like to have in their collection. However, their spawn rate is incredibly low, and you will not be able to get your hands on shinies all that easily.

Shiny variants of sandwiches are some of the best ways to improve the rate along with other items like the Shiny Charm.


Having a Shiny Fighting Sandwich in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet can make the task of finding a shiny Pocket Monster of this type easier, even if you already have a Shiny Charm. The titles let players craft sandwiches to share with their team, which endow them with various useful buffs. This allows you to find specific types of monsters a bit easier.

This article will tell you everything you need to know about cooking a Shiny Fighting Sandwich in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

If you want to have the coolest-looking Annihilape in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you will want to find a shiny one. That will take forever, though, unless you’re overwhelmingly lucky. Each type has a specific recipe you’ll want to follow, and they’re going to take a little work.

To craft a Shiny Fighting Sandwich in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you'll want to farm 5 and 6-star Tera Raids. The first ingredient is two Salty Herba Mysticas, so you will want to do as much of this as possible to have a shot at the proper ingredient. You aren’t guaranteed to get them to drop, so it might take some time.


How to craft Shiny Fighting Sandwich in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

  • Farm Tier 5 and 6-star Tera battles for 2x Salty Herba Mystica
  • Purchase some Pickles
  • Make sure you have a sandwich pick (Red works fine)
  • Open the Sandwich menu at a picnic, and press X to start Creative Mode
  • Create a recipe using a few pickles across the bread. The Herba Mystica will be used as a seasoning.
  • Put the other bread on top, and put your sandwich pick in

This will grant you Sparkling Power 3 (Fighting), Title Power 3 (Fighting), and Encounter Power 3 (Fighting). However, one important piece of advice is to turn off autosave before you craft sandwiches.

You can accidentally waste ingredients by not putting them properly on a sandwich or burning through a few and not finding any Shiny fighting-types in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Therefore, turning off the auto-save is recommended before you attempt Shiny farming. That way, if your sandwiches fail and you find nothing useful, you can always reload and use your ingredients again.

After all, it’s easy to go to the store and buy pickles. You aren’t guaranteed Salty Herba Mystica in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. To get two of them, you may have to do a significant amount of Tera Raids, so you want to make every single sandwich count.

The Tera Raids are worth it anyway, as higher-tier events grant better rewards. But if you want to Shiny hunt, this will be your best bet. If you want to know specific areas you should travel to, a few boast good Fighting-types.

For example, North Province (Area One) can grant you Gallade, the powerful split-evolution of Kirlia. Meanwhile, the Socarrat Trail boasts the classic Heracross, the mighty Bug/Fighting type.

And, of course, you can head to The Great Crater of Paldea, which will undoubtedly have some Fighting-types. These include Great Tusk and Slither Wing for Scarlet, while Violet has Iron Hands and Iron Valiant. There are plenty of Fighting-types to capture in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. With this sandwich in hand, catching an amazing Shiny for your team will be easier.
