If you want a quick and easy way of farming Herba Mystica in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, then we’ve got you covered.
Herba Mystica is an extremely rare item and one that can greatly increase your chances of finding Shiny Pokemon.
However, finding them can be difficult, especially without any handy tips. Fortunately, we’ve got a great way for you to farm Herba Mystica in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet quickly.
How to Farm Herba Mystica Quickly in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
You get Herba Mystica as rewards from five and six-star raid battles in Scarlet and Violet. However, you can increase your chances of getting even more by eating level 2 sandwiches that boost Raid Power.
By crafting a sandwich that boosts Raid Power, you can increase the raid rewards by two, giving you two more chances to earn Herba Mystica.
You will need to make sandwiches that correspond with the Pokemon type of the Raid you’re going to do. So, make a fire sandwich if you’re battling a fire-type Tera Raid Battle.
And, of course, you can use any Herba Mystica that you find to make Sparkling Power Shiny Boosting sandwiches and boost your chances of catching a Shiny Pokemon.
But you’ll first need to know how to make a sandwich in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet in order to pull off this fast farming trick.
Every Raid Power Boosting Sandwich Recipies in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
There are 17 different Raid Power boosting sandwich recipes that you can craft in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, with each one corresponding to a different Pokemon type.
However, to get a Raid Power boosting sandwich that affects Water-type Raids, you’ll need to purchase the Exclusive Four-Piece Sushi (Frost Set) from Sushi High Roller in Montenevera.
Here is every Raid Power boosting sandwich recipe in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet:

*A lot of these recipes call for a ridiculous amount of ingredients. For example, if it says x3 eggs, that means 9 total eggs, as there are 3 per box. So, you’ll need to make sure everything balances on the bread.
Fortunately, a trick you can use is simply not to bother placing the second piece of bread on the top, as it makes no difference to your overall score and can often upset the balance.
All of these recipes only require ingredients purchasable from sandwich shops. So, you won’t need to use Herba Mystica or any rare ingredients to craft these.
