If you wish to improve your chances of catching Shiny Poison-type Pokemon, then Poison Shiny Sandwiches are something you will need to make every now and then in the game.

Hence, to be able to make the Shiny Poison Sandwich in the Scarlet and Violet, you will be required to do the following:

• Get your hands on Noodles x1 and Salty Herba Mystica X2. These are the only two ingredients you will need to cook the sandwich. However, obtaining the ingredients themselves is a rather tricky task. There will be a few things that you will need to do to get them.
• The Herba Mystica is one of the most challenging resources to obtain in Scarlet and Violet. You will not find it out in the wild but rather get it as a reward for defeating some of the most complex encounters in the game. You must complete 5-6 Star Raids to get a Herba Mystica. Any Raid lower than this difficulty will not net you the item.
• For the Noodles, you can get your hands on them by making your way to Mesagoza. While this item is something you will be able to obtain by just exploring Paldea, the best way to go about getting them, however, will be to buy it directly from the Sure Cans Shop in Mesagoza. It will cost you 280 Poke Dollars per Noodle.
• Once you have obtained the ingredients in Scarlet and Violet, you can make the sandwich during one of your picnic sessions. Consuming it then will significantly improve your chances of encountering Shiny Poison-Type Pokemon.
• As the meal power will only last for 30 minutes, it’s best to consume only the sandwich if you are in an area that sees a fair amount of spawn for Poison-type Pokemon.
