How to Use Herba Mystica in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

First off, you’ll need to obtain some Herba Mystica in Pokemon Scarlet and VIolet. This can be done by participating in five and six-star Tera Raid battles. Each battle has a chance of dropping an Herba Mystica. There are different types, ranging from Sweet, Sour, Spicy, and Salty.

All of these Herba Mysticas can be used to create different sandwiches during a picnic to increase the odds of finding a shiny Pokemon. However, the recipes for doing so are exact. You can stack certain Herba Mysticas in a recipe to increase the specific type of Pokemon you are shiny hunting for.

For instance, if you want to find a Fire-type shiny Pokemon, you can use the following recipe to increase the odds.

  • Basil
  • Salty Herba Mystica
  • Sweet Herba Mystica

This recipe will then give you increased shiny odds for Fire-type Pokemon.
