How to easily obtain Bitter Herba Mystica in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

There are only two ways to farm Bitter Herba Mystica in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and neither method is a guaranteed way to get this precious item. Like all other Herba Mystica in both games, you can only get Bitter Herba Mystica via 5-star and 6-star raids.

Although, not all 5-stars and 6-stars drop this item. Therefore Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players will have to rely on some luck to get the right raids to spawn. That is not all, they must also be fortunate enough to get this item from the battle because the drop rate for Bitter Herba Mystica is a measly 5%.

Let's look at every Pokemon that is capable of dropping this rare item.
