How to make Dragon Shiny Sandwich inPokémon ScarletandViolet
With no boosts, your base odds of encountering a shiny Pokémon is 1 in 4,096. However, if you eat a sandwich that gives theSparkling Power Level 3buff, these odds improve to just 1 in 1,024 for a specific type. If you own the Shiny Charm, which is earned by completing the Pokédex, you’re able to lower these odds all the way down to 1 in 512.
There are several recipes that can be used to create a Dragon Shiny Sandwich inPokémon ScarletandViolet.The best recipe to use is 1 Tomato, 1 Onion, 1 Green Bell Pepper, 1 Hamburger, 2 Avocados, and any 2 Herba Mystica.This will create a sandwich that provides not only Sparkling Power: Dragon Level 3, but also Encounter Power: Dragon Level 3 and Title Power: Dragon Level 3 buffs for 30 minutes.
These three buffs combined give you the best chance to catch the ultimate Dragon type.A useful tip for making sandwiches inScarletandVioletis that you don’t actually need to properly place the top bun to get the buffs. When prompted to place the top bun simply drop it to the side. This can help avoid knocking off any ingredients in the final stages of making the sandwich.
Unfortunately, the Dragon Shiny Sandwich can’t be made inPokémon ScarletandVioletuntil you finish the main story. This is because you can only obtain Herba Mystica from 5* and 6* Tera Raids. The other ingredients can be purchased from any Artisan Bakery, Deli Cioso, and Sure Cans store. Medali is a convenient place to buy these ingredients, as all three shops are next to one another.
Pokémon ScarletandPokémon Violetcan be purchased on the Nintendo Store.
