Posting level 2 encounter sandwich list here as well just in case anyone missed it: gyazo.com/7d70fb522fd0aa5450f5d3df63ed38d8 EDIT EDIT: 7:37 in the video that is a shiny Greedent that I missed =) EDIT: Updated the screenshot to now include ingredients for alternate recipes that are in the games sandwich list just in case people want to make a sandwich in creative mode and don't have all the recipes unlocked! Want to give a big shoutout to Raikaru who helped immensely in compiling this ingredients list for each sandwich
This video was EXACTLY the information I needed! I was starting to doubt that I could even find a shiny paradox pokemon with just a shiny charm and encounter power 2.
I was looking for a shiny charcadet, but didn't want to use a level 3 encounter just for such a lackluster shiny but I actually got a shiny Mudbray while watching this, so I named him MajinPhil in your honor.
I can confirm how good level 2 can be, I hunted a box full myself (including all my paradoxes) within 3 hours each. I'm glad to see them getting highlighted
@@pidgey3734 lol I should clarify for yall: 3 hours was around my max hunt time (roaring moon) but most of my hunts ended within a half hour. I had a few hunts take over an hour, just rngceus at play, but I've had pretty good luck with just shiny charm and encounter power 2
@@KelpyG. bruh getting a shiny every half hour isn't bad luck lmao. Shiny hunting in previous games has been a nightmare. I'd easily spend a half hour or hour to get a shiny vs weeks of random encounters. My main point with my original comment was to highlight the success rate of just the charm and encounter power 2, as herba are hard to come by
Finally, somebody who address the regular sandwiches. I do not care about the shinnies, but this is good information for going for specific encounters (like paradoxes)
Y'know, i was trying to find the encounter level 2 recipes because honestly, since finding the charm i've found so many random overworld ones i don't feel like i need to use herba all the time, but this does let me narrow down what i'm seeing. Plus it lets me multitask and hatch eggs and hunt other stuff at once :) Ty for the list
Thank you SO much for this. This is precisely what I've been looking for in a video, but all searches just had the multi-player sharing with someone who does have Herba Mystica!
Not doubting the sandwiches at all, but doing a sandwich boosted normal hunt near Medali made me laugh, since like 90% of the spawns around that town are normal (and the only place I’ve seen Ditto). Tho very useful info! I definitely fall into the “can’t get herba mystica” crowd…I play both versions and have gotten maybe 10 herba in the 100+ raids I’ve done
If you still care, there’s a small list of Pokémon that actually semi-reliably give herba mystica from raids. You can look it up for yourself because i don’t trust myself to recite them all but it helps a lot to target those species specifically
This was a very informative vid! Im a full odds hunter so I was always looking for guides that don't include herba mystica for that purpose! And tbh, I've already found Iron Hands and Iron Bundle with just lvl2 sandwiches! So they are fairly effective!
I completed my Pokedex yesterday and instantly started hatching eggs for Charmander. Managed to get the shiny in 72 eggs and afterwards I did a Noibat outbreak and got the shiny in 5 miniutes.
This is really helpful! I've been doing raid battles during 3 months and only got 6 herbs. 1 sour, 1 salty and 4 spicy. I did more than 200 raids battles, got a lot of berries and pearls and nuggets. It's hard to defeat the 5 stars pokemons even if mine are more than level 90 i loose. This video has simple advices and is fun to watch. Thank's a lot 😄 I don't have the shiny charm so not sure i will find a shiny with this method but i will try. So far i got a shiny female Lechonk and Stantler, i found them while i was looking for Spiritomb. Luck was with me!
Going back to get sandwich recipes from my mum made me realise that I had not visited once since completing the whole game, took me a minute to even remember where my own house actually is 😂
Can confirm Level 2 with Shiny Charm is just as good! Got two Iron Hands in one run and two Iron Valiant in a seperate run with the Level 2 Fighting sandwich. Thanks! Making the sandwich is the hardest part though lol
While these are great alternatives for those people struggling farming herba mysticas, I hope this doesn't discourage you from farming those herba mysticas because they're worth more than you think. Why? The inferior odds you're getting from not having sparkling power 3 and an inferior encounter rate would be costing you more time and shinies in the long run. Imagine, doing this for like a week and you've gotten 10 shinies. Well, with SP3 + EP3, you could've probably gotten twice, or at least more than that number, and with even less hours invested. Worried about farming herba mysticas? Well, with the right pokemon/build, it's fairly easy to solo 5/6 star raids. Personally, it doesn't take me very long getting at least two herba mysticas needed for that SP3 and EP3. Now, if you don't have the right pokemon/build, please take your time getting one for yourself coz it goes a long way. And another reason why the two herba mystica: SP3 + EP3 sandwiches well are worth it? It also comes with 'title' power 3. For those who don't know what it does, it makes it easier to find pokemon of that chosen typing with a 'mark'. Imagine getting a shiny pokemon with a mark? Your shiny could be rarer than you might actually think. Now, if you don't care about marks this much, that's fair... but the time invested that you could've saved, and those shinies that you could've missed because of an inferior rate, you'll never get them back. In short, you guys are missing out a lot if you're gonna rely with these cheap alternatives. Get more shinies, save more time, go get those herba mysticas.
Your raw numbers and overall message are true, but there is a lot of value in this alternative method purely from rng not being on your side for herba mystica. There was a point when I spent around 4 hours checking every single raid in my game and periodically checking online raids to farm herbs. I got a single salty one in that whole time. If you are able to farm the herbs, you should 100% do that. But if you can't or are getting annoyed with not getting herbs from raids, this method is worth it. It provides a really nice break when you are just getting bad luck with raids.
@@Inscipio Taking a break from raids is fine, but there's no way you should settle for these inferior sandwiches because you'll be missing a lot in the long run. Besides, tera raids aren't just about those herbs. You can also get ability patch/capsules, bottle caps, mints, rare candies, exp candies, and other items that you can sell for money, so it's still not a bad thing if you're getting unlucky with those herba mysticas.
@@michaelangelolagman9738 so while taking a break from raids, you just shouldnt shiny hunt at all? Its max odds or nothing? My statement was that these offer a nice option when you dont want to raid but still wanna do some kind of hunting. Not that this should be your go to method.
@@Inscipio That's why with my first comment, I said it's a great alternative for those who's tired or struggling with the raids. And with that, I agree that this should be not their go to method. But the thing is, majority of the people who've watched this are probably considering these sandwiches as their main go to sandwiches for shiny hunting, without even realizing that it's compromising their shiny count, and that they're wasting a lot of their precious time in the long run.
This should be really helpful. I'm trying to get shinies from the current ghost mass outbreaks and I've already wasted 4 Salty Herba Mystica and all I've got to show for it so far is a small Mimikyu with the Crafty Mark, a tiny Drifloon with no mark at all (both not shiny) and a single shiny Mimikyu with no mark that I didn't even use the sandwiches for because it was literally the first one I saw on the first Mimikyu outbreak I encountered by accident. So, I'll be very happy not wasting anymore Herba Mystica on this. Thank you
I was hunting for vaperion on with your sandwich and in less than ten minutes I got it thank you so much it’s my first shiny in’s scarlet and my whole play through thank you
This feels like a good tutorial for shiny hunting early on without the shiny charm and not having herbs so thanks!! Edit: I watched the whole video and I know you said you shouldn’t without the charm but unless you have a friend willing to share sparkling power sandwiches I still think this would work well for early game shiny hunting
I can’t get the shiny charm and I’m so bad at the raids so it would take longer to GET the herbas than it would take to HUNT the shinies.. (I can’t trade as idk if I need Nintendo online and I don’t really have a Nintendo account)
Been doing this myself since I got the Shiny Charm only because I've been so unlucky with receiving Herba Mysticas from 5 and 6* raids. All my paradox pokemon I got from this method each being ~30 mins each minus Iron Moth that took 5 hours (which I resorted to Sparkling 3 cause it was taking too long)
Thank you good sir, for thinking outside the box, and for providing information no one else seems to know or care about, herba mystica for me is so hard to get that this video literally helped my soul lol. Thanks mate
Thank you so much!I am trying to shiny hunt Iron Thorns but wasn't sure how to make a sandwich fr it ,the spawns are REALLY good whith the electric sandwich!
The thing I usually do is use the Herba Mystica when I am trying to hunt for a large group of shinies. Like I try to get at least 3 in one half hour session and if I don't, I reset until I get all of my targets shiny
Woot, just got my shiny charm today (thanks random stranger on the internet that did Finizen stuff with me 😉🐬💦💦💦). Going to put this method to good use now. Basically just the 'Chansey Grind' XP method repurposed for shiny hunting. Your list is clutch though, since scrolling through that menu is ball-numbing.
Thank you for making this list. I wish the game had some sort of sorting option for recipes. This game really feels like it needed more time on Development
I was looking for this the other day. even asking Google directly to not have herba mystic in a sandwich for shinies would just show results for anything with it in
I made sandwiches with fighting and fairy encounter power level 2, and I got a Shiny Iron Valiant and Iron Hands in minutes. (With shiny charm) it's so fun.
I've struggled a bit getting herba mystica especially because I don't have an online account (currently I solo grind 5-stars with Gholdengo), but I may need to subscribe to it for a bit so I can grind out the shiny charm at least. Great vid!
Is the 1/1365 the shiny odds without knocking out any of the Pokémon you’re looking for? If so, would it be even better to knock out 60+ and increase odds further?
only mass outbreaks can have an extra shiny roll or 2 added to your odds for defeating 30 and then 60 respectively yeah. Level 2 encounter sandwiches do not have sparkle power though and do not affect spawn rates or shiny rates of mass outbreaks, only for wild random encounters.
@@foonomenal you technically could use picnic yeah, but i probably wouldn’t for lvl 2 sandwiches. I typically only use picnics to reset for outbreaks since imo picnic works best when the Pokémon are clustered together in a small area.
I usually get mine in 15 mins or less, personally i dont wanna wait 3 hours to get a shiny just bc it saves me herba mystica. I have a good method to get herba mystica, its quick, and easy, and i dont care about lvl 2 sandwiches anymore.
There is a restaurant in Montenevera called Sushi High Roller (something involving sushi) and it sells a dish called consumé which boosts fire encounter rate to level power 2
level 2 encounter power is great with the shiny charm, if you're short on Herbas, you're only half as likely to find a shiny and there isn't that big of a difference between level 2 and level 3 encounter power from what I can tell.
Correct me if I''m wrong, but level 3 encounter/sparkle WITHOUT a shiny charm comes up to be about the same odds as lvl 2 encounter but with the shiny charm, right?
@@Blitzbrie encounter level 2 doesn't increase the shiny odds, it just makes you see the shiny sooner. Encounter/Sprakling level 3 without shiny charm is 1 in 1024 and Encounter Levels 2 with the shiny charm is 1 in 1366.
@@MrLucky5001 Yeah I know it doesn't increase shiny odds. But yea it looks like lvl 2 encounter with the charm is not too far away from level 3 without it based on the numbers you just posted. So my point was this could still be great for hunting if you're not able to farm herba mystica
Agree with what he said except not doing it without the shiny charm… I don’t have the shiny charm mainly because I can’t find anybody with the scarlet exclusives to trade with, so it’s not happening for me, but doing the sandwich method I already have 8 shinies! It works so well! Definitely the best method! I also have no herba mystica so only doing level 2 sandwiches
@@REAL_RICKENDO I do still need help! Still been trying with the codes by Austin John Plays but it’s mainly people with Violet I keep getting linked with… if you can that would be really helpful!
I did that for toedscool, and found this video after. Glad to know I could Atleast figure out that there were alternatives on my own. Still, this really helped out
the things i found funny about sandwiches in this game are rather simple. a) Why are noodles on a bun? b) How did they get actual wasabi in spain? japan doesn't export enough of it to get some in spain.
All my isolated hunts have been lvl 2 Encounter power. No sparkling power. And I have 30 shinies from them. They are amazing! The better water recipe is 6 Rice, Cream Cheese and Salt. less ingredients. My fastest hunt was shiny Glimmet in Area zero. I exited the research station 4, took a right turn, up the hill and boom, Shiny in less than a minute. Same with a Pawmi, less than a minute.
Cool, been wanting a electric level 2 recipe to continue farming Iron Hands without having to connect to my second game to make level 3's every 30 minutes. Let the farming of the hands continue.
How do you get the shiny charm? I’m in post game I beat all the gyms twice did the ace tournament twice beat all of the titans and beat team star do I have to complete the Pokédex to get the shiny charm I’ve caught 100 Pokémon
I have been relying on Lvl 2 Sandwiches as I don't bother with raids, considering there's no guarantee of Herba Mysticas in raids and I don't like wasting time that way. I have been quite successful with Lvl 2 sandwiches. Got nearly 4 boxes of shiny Pokemon so far.
I’ve been hunting like this since I got the shiny charm. Was having no luck with the herbs mystica drops so I started doing this and it has been SO successful. The list should make it a bit easier/quicker now that I don’t have to futz around with the recipe maker.
is iron valiant shiny locked or something?! after numerous sandwiches and going around area zero for hours, ive seen what feels like 600 iron valiants and NOT ONE OF THEM WERE SHINY. i cant get shiny charm or herba mysticas because i cant afford nso subscription
BREAD SKIP? YOU CAN BREAD SKIP!!?? I was raging when I made a lv2 grass and the bread knocked two crab sticks off my sandwich as it bounced severely when I placed it. It resulted in a lv1 grass encounters and still took a further ten mins to find that petilil. This wasn't even for a shiny!
Though I haven't used this for shiny hunting, I will say it works great for finding specific Pokemon you might need to complete the dex or for finding a specific pokemon to ev train with
So out of curiosity, I want to hunt shiny Dreepy, what area and sandwich would you recommend? The problem with the spot I usually go for is the dratini spawns. I would imagine a ghost sandwich would be better?

MajinSubway with the FRESH content
HOW DID I JUST FIND THIS NOW?! THANK YOU
level 2 encounter power is great with the shiny charm, if you're short on Herbas, you're only half as likely to find a shiny and there isn't that big of a difference between level 2 and level 3 encounter power from what I can tell.
Correct me if I''m wrong, but level 3 encounter/sparkle WITHOUT a shiny charm comes up to be about the same odds as lvl 2 encounter but with the shiny charm, right?
@@Blitzbrie encounter level 2 doesn't increase the shiny odds, it just makes you see the shiny sooner. Encounter/Sprakling level 3 without shiny charm is 1 in 1024 and Encounter Levels 2 with the shiny charm is 1 in 1366.
@@MrLucky5001 Yeah I know it doesn't increase shiny odds. But yea it looks like lvl 2 encounter with the charm is not too far away from level 3 without it based on the numbers you just posted. So my point was this could still be great for hunting if you're not able to farm herba mystica
Just started scarlet and I was hoping to shiny hunt before post game so this helps a bunch!
Dust: I got two full odds shiny paradox mons in one day thanks to your video, thank you.
thank you so much!! i caught a shiny iron thorns in around an hour using the cursed noodle sandwich
Thanks a bunch I was just looking for Psychic eclinter 2 and realized I wasn't in the recipes. Just used that recipe to find a shiny girafarig
Character: hey it's the rice sandwich man!
Agree with what he said except not doing it without the shiny charm… I don’t have the shiny charm mainly because I can’t find anybody with the scarlet exclusives to trade with, so it’s not happening for me, but doing the sandwich method I already have 8 shinies! It works so well! Definitely the best method! I also have no herba mystica so only doing level 2 sandwiches
Austin John posted some link codes! That’s how I got mine filled.
If you still need help i can help
@@REAL_RICKENDO I do still need help! Still been trying with the codes by Austin John Plays but it’s mainly people with Violet I keep getting linked with… if you can that would be really helpful!
Yup,This works. I caught 3 Shiny Scream Tails with one Lvl 2 encounter method.
Is there a list of all possible wild encounters per area for SV yet?
I did that for toedscool, and found this video after. Glad to know I could Atleast figure out that there were alternatives on my own.
Still, this really helped out
My luck be like: Oh you used a shiny sandwich I will give no shines. That one time When I use encounter 2 sandwich: “Gets three shines of that typing”
This is exactly what we needed
Agreed, I noticed Level 2 sandwiches helps a lot
Really helpful vid but I also want to know if there is anyway to get shining power 2 as well as the encounter power
sparkling power is only level 3 unfortunately. there is no 1 and 2 for that
the things i found funny about sandwiches in this game are rather simple.
a) Why are noodles on a bun?
b) How did they get actual wasabi in spain? japan doesn't export enough of it to get some in spain.
Fast? The man grew a beard by the time it took him to get a shiny.
All my isolated hunts have been lvl 2 Encounter power. No sparkling power. And I have 30 shinies from them. They are amazing! The better water recipe is 6 Rice, Cream Cheese and Salt. less ingredients. My fastest hunt was shiny Glimmet in Area zero. I exited the research station 4, took a right turn, up the hill and boom, Shiny in less than a minute. Same with a Pawmi, less than a minute.
I used lvl 2 fire encounter and once I went to area zero I found a shiny iron moth thank you soooo much!
Cool, been wanting a electric level 2 recipe to continue farming Iron Hands without having to connect to my second game to make level 3's every 30 minutes. Let the farming of the hands continue.

Holy shit, thank you, this is incredibly useful
How do you get the shiny charm? I’m in post game I beat all the gyms twice did the ace tournament twice beat all of the titans and beat team star do I have to complete the Pokédex to get the shiny charm I’ve caught 100 Pokémon
I have been relying on Lvl 2 Sandwiches as I don't bother with raids, considering there's no guarantee of Herba Mysticas in raids and I don't like wasting time that way. I have been quite successful with Lvl 2 sandwiches. Got nearly 4 boxes of shiny Pokemon so far.
I’ve been hunting like this since I got the shiny charm. Was having no luck with the herbs mystica drops so I started doing this and it has been SO successful. The list should make it a bit easier/quicker now that I don’t have to futz around with the recipe maker.
Do you need the shiny charm for this? Or can you increase odds with just a sandwich?
The only way to increase shiny odds with a sandwich is using herba mystica. I recommend the sandwiches in the vid only if you have the charm
Good tips. I wonder if there is any reason at all to use this method with a mass outbreak, or if it is only best utilized in route hunting
is iron valiant shiny locked or something?! after numerous sandwiches and going around area zero for hours, ive seen what feels like 600 iron valiants and NOT ONE OF THEM WERE SHINY. i cant get shiny charm or herba mysticas because i cant afford nso subscription
is it possible to get sparkling lvl 2? or is that just lvl 3 with herba mystica
I can say that it totally works! However, for 30 mins I only got 1. HAHAHHAHA
BREAD SKIP? YOU CAN BREAD SKIP!!??
I was raging when I made a lv2 grass and the bread knocked two crab sticks off my sandwich as it bounced severely when I placed it.
It resulted in a lv1 grass encounters and still took a further ten mins to find that petilil. This wasn't even for a shiny!
This vdio helped me get my shiny Varoom, Noibat and so many others! Thanks Phil!
Though I haven't used this for shiny hunting, I will say it works great for finding specific Pokemon you might need to complete the dex or for finding a specific pokemon to ev train with
what are the ingredients required for sandwich 150? i can't seem to find which ones im missing :\
Bro I love your videos UNDERRATED CONTENT!!!
Man I've got to complete the pokedex
So out of curiosity, I want to hunt shiny Dreepy, what area and sandwich would you recommend? The problem with the spot I usually go for is the dratini spawns. I would imagine a ghost sandwich would be better?
use the serebii interactive map to find the best place, there may not be a place that only dreepy spawns without another type
I've never had a hunt take longer than 30 minutes using level 3 sandwiches so I'm gonna stick to that.
This is how I got my Sandy Shocks. One lvl 2 sandwich and luck.
What about shiny and encounter level 2
Is there a way to get lvl 2 sparkling power with a level 2 encounter boost?
