We’ve talking about giving yourself the best possible odds of finding Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, but now we need to talk about the actual recipes. There are two ways to make sandwiches in the Paldea region — you can follow a recipe, or just make your own by choosing ingredients. By combining ingredients in a very specific way, you can increase the odds of finding Shiny Pokemon by a pretty large margin.
The following recipes have to be created on your own — NPCs won’t tell you about these shiny-hunting sandwiches. By combining the following ingredients, you can reach Sparkling Power 3, Title Power 3 and Encounter Power 3 for specific types of Pokemon. This won’t work on all Pokemon, only affecting Pokemon of a certain type. For example, if you’re hunting a Ghost-Type Shiny Pokemon, you’ll want to make the sandwich that increases Ghost-Type Shiny appearance rate.
All of these sandwiches require rare Bitter Herba Mystica and Spicy Herba Mystica — these can only be acquired by completing 5-Star and 6-Star Tera Raids.

With these recipes, you can hunt any type of shiny Pokemon. Just make sure you’re hunting at the right spot — this also increases the appearance rate of the Pokemon type you’re looking for. If you’re not totally sure what the shiny Pokemon actually looks like, you can always use autobattle — Pokemon will not autobattle shiny Pokemon.
