Collecting all the Shiny Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet is a Herculean task that will generally take players hundreds of hours to complete. With the rate of Shiny encounters being incredibly low in the two games, it's definitely one of the hardest achievements for completionists to pull off.

Fortunately, there are certain ways for you to increase the odds of encountering more Shiny Pokemon out in the wilderness of Paldea. One of the most effective options will be to gain the Sparkling Power buff, which you can get by consuming a Sandwich that's made with the Salty Herba Mystica.

You will first encounter the Salty Herba Mystica in Scarlet and Violet during the Path of Legends storyline. Fortunately, there are other ways to collect this item in the two games after completing any one of the main storylines.

The Salty Herba Mysticas are some of the rarest cooking items to come across in the games. It's not something that you will be able to get your hands on early on in Scarlet and Violet, and you will have to wait until you have completed at least one path of the main narrative before you can effectively farm these in Paldea.

The best way to farm this will be to complete the various 5-star as well as the 6-star Tera Raids in Paldea. Unfortunately, 5-star raids will only be made available once you have completed the main narrative along any of the paths. 6-star raids, on the other hand, can only be accessed after you've completed all the 5-star ones.

These higher-tier Raid battles are the best source of obtaining Salty as well as other Herba Mysticas in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Tera Raids are important events that every player who's looking at the game competitively is advised to complete. Upon completing these raid battles, you should be able to get your hands on a variety of Herba Mysticas and not just the salty variant, with each option offering a unique buff to your character when consumed in a sandwich.

Once you have the Herba Mystica in your inventory, you will then need to set up a picnic in the Paldean wilderness. After this step, you must use this item to make and consume a Sandwich in order for the relevant buffs to take effect. It’s important to note here that these buffs are temporary, and you will need to use them at the same time to make the most of the Herba Mystica.
