Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players can obtain Hamburgers from any Deli Cioso. These stores look like counters with a cashier that is outside, making them pretty easy to spot. Hamburgers cost ₽380 each.

If you want to get Tomatoes for the Teensy Power recipe, you can go to any Sure Cans store and buy a Tomato for ₽100 a piece.

Since trainers only have a slight chance to obtain them from 5-star and 6-star Tera Raids, Herba Mysticas are much more difficult to get in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Their drop rate is around 10%, and players must remember that not every Tera Raid drops a specific Herba Mystica. For example, a 5-star Tsareena only has a Spicy Herba Mystica and none of the other types.

Readers should now have an idea of how to make a Shiny Steel Sandwich in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and how to get all the ingredients. They should just put the knowledge to the test in-game or with a sandwich simulator.

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.

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.
