Also you don't need to place the final piece of bread on the sandwich for the effects to happen. Just drop it away from everything and then there's no risk of stuff falling off

[YOM_UB]

For people wanting to hunt without Herba Mystica, the best you'll get is Encounter Level 2:
For Scarlet players (Encounter Power: Rock Lv. 2) use Bacon, Basil, Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Mayonnaise, and Mustard (if you have it unlocked it's recipe 74, but free mode will give the same powers)
For Violet players (Encounter Power: Dragon Lv. 2) use Avocado, Smoked Fillet, Tomato, and Salt (recipe 45)

[avanelletheclockfriend]

For folks who aren’t getting the level 3 boosts: you need to use any two herba mysticas as the seasoning, which you can get from 5 or 6 star raids. The base recipe is one serving of tomato, one of onion, one of green pepper, a hamburger, and two of a type-corresponding ingredient, with the two herba mystica seasoning. The order of ingredients doesn’t matter. I’ll put a list of the ingredients that correspond to each type and how many servings the sandwich will use total for your convenience.

Normal- tofu, 2
Dark- smoked fillet, 2
Fairy- tomato, 3
Fire- red pepper, 2
Water- cucumber, 2
Grass- lettuce, 2
Poison- green pepper, 3
Rock- bacon, 2
Dragon- avocado, 2
Ghost- red onion, 2
Electric- yellow pepper, 2
Bug- cherry tomato, 2
Ice- Klawf stick, 2
Steel- hamburger, 3
Ground- ham, 2
Fighting- pickle, 2
Psychic- onion, 3
Flying- prosciutto, 2

Examples I’ve actually used:
•To make a steel type sandwich you’d select tomato, onion, green pepper, hamburger, hamburger, hamburger, herba mystica, herba mystica.
•To make a ghost type sandwich you’d select tomato, onion, green pepper, hamburger, red onion, red onion, herba mystica, herba mystica.
•To make a fire type sandwich you’d select tomato, onion, green pepper, red pepper, red pepper, hamburger, herba mystica, herba mystica.

Some of the ingredients will be more difficult to stack than others, so don’t worry about the top piece of bread because it doesn’t have any impact on stats. Your sandwich might not look nice, but you also won’t have to worry about causing things to fall off.

So I learned of this method yesterday and tried it out myself, using the metric of 50 seconds per reset and 15 Bagons per reset, which is the average amount of Bagons I saw per and a reasonable reset time for them all to spawn and doing this while watching a video, I simplified the numbers to 15/1024 per 50 seconds, or about 69 resets to be at odds for a shiny (nice). So at this rate, I found that at odds, you should find a shiny Bagon in just under an hour. A good time for a hunt, but definitely not under 10 minutes. My own hunt took an hour and 20 minutes. (Note that all the time I am considering is purely sandwich time, IE only counting when the sandwich buffs are in effect and not the process of making it nor resetting your game should you not get it in 30 minutes.

Tl;Dr from my personal experience and number crunching, it should take you just under an hour to get your shiny at a moderate pace.

Edit: I don’t have the shiny charm, so I didn’t factor for it.

[Pyrodragon]

Mommy where do Bagons come from?

You see honey, when a sandwich and a wall love each other very much....

[TBoss]

Thanks for making it concise! I wasn’t able to do the hunt because right as I got there, Shiny Larvitar was already there. Still wouldn’t have gotten it without you!

[MeowVelous_Wyatt]

“No shiny charm or herbs needed” “the thing about this recipe is that you can use any 2 herbs!” Lol

[jessejames]

You were not joking lol they popped out so many at a point I felt bombarded how they just block the pathway lol, , , I need more spots like this!!! Great Job btw!

[pietyyyy]

i get too lazy to farm salty herba mysticas. thanks for this guide I can use my other herbs for good lmao

I wouldn't really consider this a glitch, it's just a small area with a wide amount of spawns. The encounter boost in a small area like this where you can picnic reset and see like 15 pokémon every 10 seconds definitely results in seeing a shiny pretty fast especially when you have a shiny boost

[trashgaylie_archive]

i went through the entire 30 minutes of the sandwich with no shiny 😭 awesome video tho, i LOVE how short and to-the-point it is! now if only my shiny luck werent so horrible...

[dezpression]

got to the cave and looked back before making a sandwich and a shiny sableye just popped out

[CoreZeroPH]

Honestly this is my first Pokémon game with three shinies caught before even reaching late-game/post-game. No mystical herbs, I got my shiny Mankey (for Annihilape) just by eating Encounter Lv.2 sandwiches. The other two, Oinkologne and Veluza, were just wild encounters. Never had that luck before.

[acrophis]

Pro tip: you never have to place the top on the sandwich to get your desired effects. Just dump it to the side and avoid risk.

[Shiny_J]

Got myself a shiny Sableye with this. THANK YOU for the video 😁

[mr.trollsaur]

Looks like I'm going hunting for a shiny larvitar! Thank you so much for posting this man!

Update: omfg it worked!!!
