What Are Sandwiches Used for?
Since the days of the early Pokemon anime, it has been a dream for many players to cook for their Pokemon partners. In the newest entries in the game series, Scarlet and Violet, this becomes vital to your postgame success. Players can whip up recipes from around the Paldea region that use various ingredients. Of course, how you procure these ingredients depends heavily on the player. Components can be found worldwide and range in how you obtain them. Pokemon sandwiches are not only a great way to show your Pokepartners you care about them but a great way to aid them in battle as well.
Sandwichs can also help with boosting the rate at which Pokemon spawn and your egg-hatching power. While the mechanic may be new it has become an essential part of the game that you will need to take advantage of if you wish to get the most out of Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet.
How to Make a Sandwich
Having a picnic with your Pokemon partners is unlocked rather early in the games. Once obtained, players can pause their adventure and have a meal with their friends. This goes deeper than just being a cute mechanic. Instead, it actually helps the Pokemon‘s stats exponentially. So it could be highly beneficial for players to take advantage of this system to strengthen their companions.
You should also note that the sandwich system is a mini-game where you must place the ingredients on the sandwich. Each time you make a sandwich in the game, you will have to play this mini-game. You can’t really fail this mini-game so there’s no reason to be nervous about starting it. You should also note that only the ingredient mentioned in this article will actually effect the stats of the sandwich.
What Kind of Sandwiches Are There?
There are various types of food within the Pokemon world. In the latest games, you can cook a majority of cuisines into something delicious for your team. Doing so will require you to know the ingredient system within the game. Players can visit various shops and markets to get their ingredients. This system is rather in-depth, allowing players even to choose the pick that holds their sandwich together.
As for how players receive more recipes for their food, these can be obtained from NPCs. Typically seen in the sandwich shops themselves, these NPCs give the player what they need to make the food the best they can for their Pokemon. So if sandwich-making sounds like it’s up your alley this year, then Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have you covered, as just enjoying the Paldea region with your pals feels fantastic. So, if you haven’t begun interacting with the food system in the game, now is your chance to do so and enhance your team.
Each Sandwich will have an effect that lasts around 30 minutes at a time, and you won’t be able to stack this. You will want to have a flow that allows you to make a sandwich as each one’s effects wear off while you explore and battle.
