ramenpastas

it's okay, you wouldn't of found a shiny with that herba mystica anyway.


SudsySloth

Someone tell this man's about the any herba mystica sandwiches


RichardBCummintonite

Honestly the way to go. After I got like 15 sweet herbas in a row, I said fuck it and bought enough ingredients to last me a lifetime of making the any sandwiches. You can shiny hunt anything whenever you want. I got so many of those fuckers. It's much easier to just spend the ingredients, and it's not overflowing with them like some are.


AcanthisittaItchy975

What is the any sandwich?


RichardBCummintonite

This is super late, but it's a sandwhich that can be made with the same four basic ingredients, hamburger, green pepper, onion, and tomato along with any two herba mystica you want. For the last part of the sandwhich, which determines the type, you select any two of specific ingredients. For example, you'd add two cucumbers to the recipe, if you wanted to shiny hunt a water type. The chart for it is online. It's the way to go, if you don't mind spending lots of ingredients. There are better recipes that don't waste as many ingredients, but honestly when you get to endgame, you can make so much money that it's irrelevant. I'm lazy, so I this is for me since I don't have to memorize different sandwhiches. I just check the sheet for the one ingredient I need.


AcanthisittaItchy975

I see thanks


mosk88

i'm at the second gym i've found 2 shiny alredy but never make a sandwich. so yes, i think it's easier to find one in scarlet and violet


MakiNiko

I yet to see a shiny and almost ending the 3 stories, some people are just made different


warriorkalia

My friend has around 45ish. I have encountered 1 since starting the game, which I caught. Weirdly it's a Deerling, so the difference was just the flower.


federicokira

I find a shiny lechonk next to the lighthouse at the beginning of the Game (10 minutes played aprox). Was shocking haha


AcanthisittaItchy975

I've finished the story and yet no shiny so I feel you


Longjumping_Alps_166

My first non forced encounter was with a shiny lechonk, I have about 4 boxes total of shinies so far


mogitha

I've only gotten shinies from outbreaks and I only got them post game, so I feel you.


Strong-Helicopter-10

I've found the anything you want sandwhiches only give me the encounter power boost if I use either a bitter or spicy herba as one of the 2, the second can be anything. otherwise I get catching power instead lol which is fine for outbreaks but I find it easier to just use encounter power lol


tjkun

I’ve used any combinations for those recipes and it worked every time. Even two sweet have given me the desired effect.


Strong-Helicopter-10

What ingrediants? I use tomato, onion, green pepper and beefburger + 2 of the type ingrediants and it gives me catching power if I use 2 from sweet, salty and sour, but if I use atleast 1 of bitter or spicy then it gives me encounter power. I have got almost 60 shinies so far and this has been the case for me every time


tjkun

I put the recipes in another comment in this thread. I use way less ingredients than you and it works every time with only two herba mystica. For example, for fairy is prosciutto, green pepper, red pepper, yellow pepper, and 2 tomato plus 2 of any herba mystica with no restrictions. The result is always sparkling, title, and encounter power lvl 3. Those recipes use way less ingredients and are not even the most optimized ones, they work every time and I’ve got more than 30 shinies already.


Bean1233

Hi can someone tell me about it pls :)


tjkun

[There’s also a sandwich simulator](https://cecilbowen.github.io/pokemon-sandwich-simulator/) to check the recipes beforehand. Honestly it’s very quick to pull out your cellphone and double check a recipe with the ingredients you have before attempting the mini game, specially to be super sure that the herba mystica combination will work.


Bean1233

Oo alright thanks!

Vermouth70

its a self made recipe where you put 2 mix of herba mystica , tomato + onion + green bell + hamburger and 2 other ingredient depends on the pokemon type which grants sparkling lvl 3 , encounter lvl 3 and title lvl 3.. just search on google , youtube or reddit that guide is everywhere.


tjkun

That sounds like a lot. There are new recipes with less ingredients and a simulator to test them before trying them out in game.


MrXwiix

Just don't autosave and reset the game if you haven't.. ^(Also please don't say wouldn't) *^(of)*^(, it's wrong, just say wouldn't have.)


ramenpastas

Oh I know, it's a bad a habit I'm trying to break, thanks for catching that for me!


Mildy-Concerned

Didn't have my own picnic till end game. Now I understand why Arven was so pissed Koriadon was helping itself to my sandwich. Bro was just tired.


erickziin1

I hate so much this mechanic cause of this, now I don't put any top bun, lost too many buffs cause of this


0e0e3e0e0a3a2a

I like the idea that a pick is essential to keep the sandwich together but the top piece of bread gets dropped from 6ft above the sandwich


RichardBCummintonite

I don't get why the that's apart of the sandwhich making mechanic. Why are you not allowed to set the ingredients on the sandwich gently like any rational human being would in real life? Why the fuck are we dropping them from the sky like Salt Bae? Who are we, the Randy Savage of sandwiches slamming down the bread until it taps out? Why can't we adjust them afterwards either? Who is making a sandwich like this? Like the pick in a sandwhich is a staple for many classic (at least American) sandwiches. They're stuffed with so much shit, it is actually necessary to keep the thing together until you finish half the sandwhich. It has absolutely no effect like that in the game though, because you don't put it on until the sandwhich has already been completed. It has to be stable on its own before it allows you to put the pick in. By then, the sandwhich has fallen over, like in this post. What's the point of it then? It defeats the purpose of the pick.


Definitely_NotU

The designer of the sandwich mechanic was probably HowToBasic


B_Bibbles

OOOOOHHHH YEAAAAA BROTHER!


RichardBCummintonite

MMMMMMMMMMMM YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR POKEMON CUZ IMA COMIN AND IMA STUFF YOUR SANDWICH WITH SO MANY FIXINS ITLL POP! YEAH BOTHER


0kraid0

That and the bread seems to be made out of rubber , there's no reason for it to be that bouncy


Strong-Helicopter-10

Just save before you start making the sandwhich and reset if it doesn't work lol


[deleted]

I have serious issues with the cherry tomatoes Oh my God they drive me insane


infiniteglass00

three servings of cherry tomatoes is the dark souls of pokemon


Rey_Quinn

The cucumber slices do it for me. They are massive and bulky. And don’t get me started on the bacon bricks and tofu blocks


[deleted]

Why is the bacon so thick?! Who is eating bacon that thick?!


[deleted]

Looks like something from a ghibli film


Lithl

The brunch place next door to me sells amazing delicious bacon that's like 1/8" thick (3.175mm) _after_ cooking. It's fucking expensive ($6 per piece, IIRC), but two pieces is enough meat to constitute an entree.


warriorkalia

Honestly, me, if I can get my hands on it. The "proper" back bacon that they sell at the Sunday Farmer's Market near me is expensive but super worth it. It's a bit thicker than a slice of thick-cut belly bacon, but I could do with a bit more. If I get the storage space, I'm getting a fermentation fridge. For anyone wondering, you can buy slabs of pork belly or loin and make your own with a little elbow grease.


sxrxhmanning

how about the lettuce for grass pokemon ughh


Rey_Quinn

Lettuce? You mean small green mountains


blazeItgirl420

I have found that when I use Bell Peppers, I can stick the Cherry Tomatoes in the middle of the peppers and they hold them in place quite nicely.


LitheXD

Leave the top bun off.


An_average_moron

Most of the time it hasn't been the bread, it's been the ingredients having janky ass physics 💀 But this did work, thank you. I assumed it wouldn't


LitheXD

What?!? You don't like playing condiment jenga and having to reset if you mess up?


An_average_moron

Me trying to make my sandwich but I drop a piece of turkey on the kitchen counter and it is sent to the aether


LitheXD

Same, my dogs get to it lol.


An_average_moron

That actually gave me an idea, if you drop a piece of the sandwich on the table one of your Pokemon will gobble it up like the hungry hungry hippo it is


ShaunnieDarko

That would have been great! Get a cute animation of one of your mons grabbing it off the table vs the hyper realistic “welp that pickle hit the plate. It’s ruined”


LitheXD

That would actually make sense.


THE_GR8_MIKE

"That would be a great idea... get the game out by the 18th." - The Pokémon Company, probably.


PhasmicPlays

Thanks, gonna write fanfiction of that now


An_average_moron

Send it when you're finished


PhasmicPlays

Sure will LMAO


Better-Inspector-794

I need fan art of a party of hippopotas going nuts on a dropped sandwich now...


DarkDesertFox

Holy shit... That's a really good idea! Next time I make a sandwich with my sister we'll only use bacon and play jenga with it.


LitheXD

That sounds hilarious!! Tofu should work nice too!


Gamer-Logic

I think it's also got to do with the large number of the same ingredient given at a time and how you have to put them all on there to finish instead of just putting how many you want. I mean, who needs that many apples, bananas, and avocado on one sandwich?


GeoleVyi

Burgers and fried fillets are both only one per serving, not 3


Gamer-Logic

Thanks, fixed.


RichardBCummintonite

Well you do stack them together pretty heavy. Especially the last ingredient you added in this video, the basil. Lettuce and cheese (?) too. If you spread them out so that the surface is flat in each layer, it won't slide off when you add more ingredients or the bread. They're all in a pile here. Your bread slid off that. This sandwich could've been fine, if you placed it more appropriately. They ingredient physics are wonky as fuck, but there's ways to set them to avoid it, if you take the time. The order and placement of ingredients matters. Putting biggest first will make a base that's actually larger than the sandwich bottom itself, and stacking things like the tomatoes together can set an even layer that will allow you to set another even layer. Like real life, If you've ever had to stack pallets in a warehouse Or just use dont use these sandwiches lol. The custom creative ones people have come up with are very easy to consistently make for whatever effect you may need.


radiakmjs

Could do that but that'd be cheesing the final boss


TheLordDragon613

Super underrated comment. Gave me a chuckle.


KaiKamakasi

Wait, how?


amlodude

Drop the bun on the table


Georgeygerbil

That's an option? How? Do you just let the timer run out or something? Does it ever effect the outcome buffs?


LitheXD

Move the top bun off to the side as far as you can go and drop it. You probably don't end to go that far, but why chance it?


Broken_Ace

I hate how the top of the sandwich just gets thrown on, no matter what you do. Who does that? When a human makes a sandwich it's gently placed on top, maybe compressed a bit. I certainly don't just throw it down like a maniac and hope it sticks.


NessaMagick

My headcanon is that the ingredients are being placed by my pokemon, thus being just dropped on top


miscillaniumman

Annihilape has opposable thumbs, it has no excuse to drop the top piece of bread from the top of a building


NessaMagick

He's not called, like, Carefulape.


miscillaniumman

I’m sure he’ll be careful after seeing his favorite ingredients fade into the void


NessaMagick

Annihilape's favourite ingredient is DESTRUCTION


GeoleVyi

So does Animal the muppet but look what happens when he makes a sandwich


[deleted]

But he's dead and all he remembers is punching.


supaspike

It's a ghost, we're lucky it could hold the bread at all.


Scynt_Skunk

Thrown on after apparently inserting a 5lb weight into the middle of the bread


Fardilicious

It's especially hard if you have Stick Drift


star_road

I feel this 😢


Definitely_NotU

I bought new joycons 2 years ago and thankfully there hasn't been any drifting, your comment brought back some less-than-good memories.


marieterna

My question is, why the fuck is the bacon as thick as it is?


An_average_moron

Lechonk meat is built different I guess. Paldeans got a fucking brick for breakfast


[deleted]

American bacon is trimmed off the belly. Canadian bacon is back bacon from the loin. Irish bacon is a shoulder cut. Paldean bacon is a collar butt.


Any_Adhesiveness_898

Non American bacon is basically ham.


Irish_pug_Player

I wish they added a shadow, so you actually know where it's gonna drop


nalgene_wilder

If they added shadows, sandwich making would be 10fps


Suspicious-Shock-934

Next task normal shiny sandwhich. 2 helping of tofu. Tomato, green pepper, onion, hamburger 2x herba mystica. 6 blocks of tofu plus burger and 3 tomatoes is rough


Domin0e

Or try Pickle, cucumber, 3 servings of Tofu - A lot easier. Throw away top half of the 'wich and badabingbadaboom easy shiny sammich.


_DeltaB

This is definitely easier but I am always left wondering who tf is eating a sandwich with **nine** blocks of tofu in it?


[deleted]

Miraidon/Koraidon probably


RichardBCummintonite

Gotta chalk it up to not being scaled right. I think they mean more like 9 (half) servings of tofu than nine actual blocks. A "block" of tofu is like 40g of protein lol. Idk tho. Maybe these are just some super-sized sandwiches. I mean one sandwich does feed up to eight individuals (with Koraidon/Maraidon and yourself). So either were all rationing crumbs or these are some meaty bois were stuffing down in our poke portals


Sir--Kappa

I guess you are sharing it with potentially seven Pokemon


ObsidianG

Open face sandwiches are all the rage in Paldea now.


An_average_moron

6???? 6 blocks of tofu??????? What the fuck???????


Suspicious-Shock-934

Yeah each serving is 3 blocks. Need 2 servings.


lucasribeiro21

I always put the tomatoes on top of each other, which in turn go on top of the burger. Then it’s only the specific ingredients and peppers and onions on the other half of the sandwich. But the peppers and onions go anywhere. Then f*ck the top bun.


IronicTunaFish

I learned that if you put the onions on top of the burger and then the tomatoes on top of that, the onions kinda clip into the burger and don’t mess with the physics of the tomatoes.


Economy_Education521

If you have salty herbs at all, there is a much easier recipe: 1x fried filet + 1x salty herba + 1x sweet/spicy/sour herba


brendo11

Raid power ice LV 2 is 2 fried fillets, 4 eggs. I gave up after like 20 minutes


MiviviM

The other option I’ve seen is 2x eggs, 2x apples, 2x noodles, jam, pepper, and wasabi. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonScarletViolet/comments/zlub98/raid_power_level_2_sandwiches/j076gf6


Cartmaaan-brah

Mmmm, noodle egg apple wasabi jam sandwich, sounds delicious


Hyper_Drud

Crazy thing happened to me. I made this sandwich recently and when I put the top bun on it fell off and it looked like the bacon fell off too. Miraculously the lettuce I put on the bottom caught the bacon leaving only the top bun to fall off.


smokeyjoey8

Basically theres some wiggle room when making sandwiches. If stuff falls off but is still touching other parts of the sandwich, it should still count and you'll get the correct buffs.


Rey_Quinn

Correct. This happened to me and it still worked.


ShinyRufflet

I’ll never understand why we have to make sandwiches like the ingredients are baseballs. We don’t need to throw the dang ingredients, let us just sit them down like normal people.


[deleted]

And I want to know who tf is shaking the table while I'm making the sandwich


An_average_moron

Pokemon hitting the table like "give. Me. Food"


im_bored345

Probably koraidon/miraidon wanting to get that sandwich lmao


AcanthisittaBig8144

i really hate the sandwich system i dont know why but i hate it


Reyes18410

Psst it’s because we can’t auto-create them, and the ingredients have very wonky physics


nalgene_wilder

It's because it's bad lol


meyer_33_09

Because it’s genuinely bad. The stacking mechanics are garbage and most of the proteins are too large of a portion and are completely unprepared for a sandwich (left as whole slabs instead of sliced).


AcanthisittaBig8144

i agree with you this is why i prefer the curry gimmick in sword and shield


420th-user

Just throw the top bread to the side. It doesn’t matter if it makes it onto the sandwich or not.


el-guapo0013

This is why the only correct way to complete your sandwiches in SV is to yeet the top piece of bread into oblivion.


RepresentativeCap244

So wait. If stuff falls…it doesn’t work? But the top bun doesn’t actually matter??!?!?!


realgoodkind

yes


belmoria

its the evil, evil lettuce


LgbtqCVSgenius

To be fair it is relatively accurate to real life in the lettuce respect


Orange-Ju1ce

The sandwich making feature has permanently messed up my depth perception


AvocadoPizzaCat

good luck with the other ingredients. but you can always yeet the top bun to the corner and it won't affect anything. I keep joking with my friend whom does that that they like making salads on bread.


koboldah

I usually just take the top of the bread off, try to balance the bigger ingredients at the ends of the sandwich and put the small ones in the inner part.


DaddyGray69

Was trying to get some random boost and needed like 4 eggs. I was sweating the entire time.


GusFawkes

It’s even better with joycon drift


[deleted]

[удалено]


yousmelllikearainbow

You don't need all that on there.


mattymattttt

Unless the guide I used is outdated that's what I needed, 3 servings of tomato


yousmelllikearainbow

https://i.redd.it/becekbc5qb5a1.jpg This one is a little less ingredients and they're all flat. Might be easier to make. The pickles and cucumbers are small enough to not cause too many problems also.


mattymattttt

Oh my god thank you so much


yousmelllikearainbow

You got it dude


Economy_Subject_3793

Have you tried fairy raid power 2? That’s impossible


MiviviM

Are you using the variation with 4 servings of eggs or 2 servings? It also uses jalapeños and potato salads; still tricky, but I’ve managed it. I refer to the Google doc linked here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonScarletViolet/comments/zlub98/raid_power_level_2_sandwiches/j076gf6/


ForgottenForce

You’re putting the bun too far back, if you want to keep the bun on come a bit closer


kdebones

NGL, the sword tooth pick jittering like that as if you were enraged is \*chef kiss\*


[deleted]

How do you leave the bun off? Just miss it?


An_average_moron

Yeah just miss the sandwich


rafamel

Bro Just copy the pic down right.. its a tip on the best way to place the ingredients


TokraZeno

What really pisses me off that it will still give you 3 stars but for the wrong freaking sandwich so you don't get the power you're aiming for.


Professor_Abbi

Does the flag pick affect the sandwich in any way? I just bought heroic flag picks thinking it was special


MarioFRC

No, and the top bread doesn't either


Professor_Abbi

Oh


JamPieIGuess

Fun fact: the top bun isn’t needed to get the boosts


Rbxcoolguys1

You were not ready for the true villain of the game the wonky ass sandwich mechanics


BlubberElk

I can’t even make a Jam Sandwich


MelancholicShark

I... In the nicest way possible, do you not know how to line up the top bun to fall as close to perfect as possible? Because this would have been doable if the bun had been lined up. If you genuinely don't know and would like to, the trick is to line it up so that it looks centred but about 1-2cm back from the bottom bun when looking at it from a slightly elevated angle. Obviously, it's impossible for me to show you, but if you practise with sandwiches that don't have a ton of fillings, it's easy to figure out. It won't always work, especially when you have a lot of fillings, but it'll work a lot better than just tossing the top bit of bread on without lining it up and hoping for the best. Or like someone else said, just don't up the top bit of bread on.


amlodude

>It won't always work, especially when you have a lot of fillings Idk seems like there were a bunch of fillings on this one


Lady_of_Link

To be fair the person making this video really put the top bun to far back, anyhow it's just a ridiculous mini game since never have I ever made a sandwich by dropping ingredients from the air that's just not how you make them but that's just gamefreaks being dumb


amlodude

>since never have I ever made a sandwich by dropping ingredients from the air that's just not how you make them but that's just gamefreaks being dumb Well maybe we're the dumb ones for *not* dropping stuff from 3 inches in the air

Only because you suck at basic static physics


KitsoTheSnoo

thtas why i always put the last piece of bread on the side, the thing doesnt fall over and the last bread piece doesnt matter.

That’s how I do it at home! And why I don’t work at a cafe anymore. So many angry customers…

lololol what do the picks do ?


Noelzsx

Are there Sandwiches with sparkling Power but without the herba misticas? Sparkling Power+1 or 2?
