Trainers only want a handful of things: shiny silver coins, the unending devotion of a battle-obsessed rival who might be a yandere, and Pokemon that are a slightly different color than usual. While one of these is a guarantee (Nemona has never heard of the concept of personal space, and I love that about her), the latter can be a little harder to obtain.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have made the Shiny hunting process a little easier by allowing you to see Shiny Pokemon in the overworld, but your actual chances of encountering one are fairly low. 1 in 4,096, to be precise. To that end, there are an assortment of ways that trainers can make the odds a little kinder.
And one of those is eating the right sandwich. Yes, with the right ingredients, and condiments, your odds of encountering a Shiny are greatly increased. Here’s how to do it.

Herba Mystica is going to be the key component to getting that Shiny Power 3 sandwich. Herba Mystica, you might have noticed, are the herbs that the Titan Pokemon consumed to become as large as they are. But if you want to get your own, you’ll need to defeat Tera Raid Pokemon with 5 stars or higher.
The Herba Mystica we care about here is Bitter Herba Mystica and Spicy Herba Mystica. With these two, you can obtain Sparkling Power 3 and Encounter Power 3, no matter what. It’s the other ingredients that will dictate what Typing you’ll get.
Here is a table with all the ingredients you’ll need. All of them will require 1 Bitter Herba Mystica and 1 Spicy Herba Mystica.
