Pokémon Scarlet and Violet picnic guide: Sandwich ingredients, Sparkling Power, and more

[ad_1]

Every Pokémon region has its own specialty food, and the Paldea region featured in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is no different. In generation nine, players participate in the Paldean ritual of sandwich making, which is sure to keep you sated after a long day of Pokémon hunting. Here’s everything you need to know about sandwiches and their mysterious powers!

Sandwiches can be obtained in one of two ways: by purchasing them or making them yourself. Sandwiches can be purchased at the chain sandwich store called Every Wich Way, which offers a wide variety of sandwiches for players to dine on.

Just like with most things you buy in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, sandwiches can be purchased with either cash or LP. If you’re short on either, interact with Tera Raid dens to get some free LP!

Making a sandwich in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is as simple as starting a picnic. After enrolling in your game’s respective academy, you gain access to a picnic table.

Here’s how to make a sandwich during a picnic:

Press X to open up the Menu.
Select “Picnic” in the Main Menu on the right.
Interact with the picnic table by pressing A.
Select “Make a sandwich“.
Choose a sandwich recipe and confirm with A.
Choose a sandwich pick and confirm with A
Pick up your ingredients by pressing and holding A to grab them. Any condiments will be smeared on the bread automatically.
To place your ingredients on your sandwich bread, move them with the Left stick and release A to drop them. Do not let your ingredients go before you’re ready to place them!
After all the ingredients have been placed, press and hold A to grab your bread, move it with the Left stick and place it with A.
Press and hold A to grab your sandwich pick, move it with the Left stick and place it with A. The placement of your pick does not matter, so long as it’s on the bread.
Behold your creation and enjoy!

Note that picnics can only be set up out in the wild! You can’t set up a table in the middle of a city or near too many people, as that would be quite rude. Steep inclines are also an inopportune place to set up picnics, as the game warns that all your food could roll off the table.

Your journey as a sandwich artist is directly tied to the Path of Legends, where the player has to fight and defeat different Titans scattered across Paldea. There are five Titans in all, each with different types.

Not only does the Path of Legends help you upgrade your legendary Pokémon’s travel abilities, but it helps unlock sandwich recipes as well! Head to Every Wich Way and talk to the man to the right of the store clerk whenever you’ve defeated a Titan, and you may just get some hot new recipes.

Buying food is great and all, but if you’re short on cash, nothing beats a homemade sandwich. You’ll receive ingredients from time to time from traveling picnickers, but there are several stores where you can purchase ingredients for sandwiches as well.

Players can go to either an Artisan Bakery for standard ingredients or, if they’re willing to splurge on some ingredients, to Deli Cioso. Each of these establishments offers a different selection of ingredients for all your sandwich needs.

After beating the game, players get access to five-star Tera Raids. One perk of five-star raids is that players can earn Herba Mystica, the same kind of herb eaten by Titans in the Path of Legends.
