If it's for sparkling power 3 I had my own method that used 2 herba and one ingredient, but this is definitely faster. I am going to see what ends up cheapest of the two and make something out of it.

Nice, I’ve been looking for more optimal recipes… but for those who are shiny hunting outbreaks just keep in mind “encounter power” is you worst enemy. It increases the shiny odds outside of the mass outbreak which is ultimately going to screw up your odds.
It is somewhat dependent on where you are and what encounters you can isolate. I’d rather be spawning Tandemaus outside of an outbreak rather Orthworms or Bombirdiers. Also encounter power can help to get more than one shiny per sandwich. This is not always the case, especially in area where more than one typing of Pokémon spawn, but it’s more dependent on the area rather than just a hindrance. Sometimes other buffs are better; Humungo power makes all Pokemon of that type larger, assisting when the target is very tiny.
This is great for certain ingredients and certain hunts, but it’s also kind of niche. Encounter power and humungo power are great tools needed for a lot of hunts. The herba used in this method allows for these choices, but it’s just easier to pick ingredients around most any two herba rather pick herba around simpler ingredients.

It's nice to not have to go through the whole sandwich making process, but this method forces you to use specific herbas while other methods only need whatever 2 you have in hand
@@HappyGick but if you need to hunt outside of an outbreak you'll probably need Encounter Power and at that point you might as well go the extra mile and use ingredients to get Title Power, too.
@@Cobaeby Just researched, Encounter Power is most easily obtained from any sandwich that has two salty herba mysticas, just like the infographics say already
I think that Pickle + Cucumber + other specific for a type is better, as it can user any 2 herba to get Encounter Power 3 (the best for shiny hunting), while this method uses specific combinations of herba to get it, making some herba better than other
The pickle cucumber method uses the wild amount of ingredients he's trying to avoid. If you're not hurting for herba, this method sounds flat out better
@@amirsingh8788 I have 999 of every ingredient. I don't care about them. And method in the video uses the same amount of herba, but it needs to be specific type... so it's worse, way worse.
I think Encounter Power is the best option for the 3rd. It actually boosts the number of pokemon youre looking for in the outbreak. Always find my shinys with Encounter Power. Hate getting anything else. But thats just me ahah
You have done the community a huge service by putting in all those hours and burning that midnight oil so that all of us plebeians can have an easy time. I thank you for your time and patience.😊
I love how as we get more efficient with making our sandwiches, we are actually making less "sandwich". Sandwiches are supposed to have to pieces of bread? Nah you can drop the top slice. The recipe calls for rice? Just chuck it into the wind!
I mean there is a recipe that calls for one tomato one green pepper one onion and a hamburger plus 2 of an ingredient that changes the type But this is even easier and it's crazy how people still come up with new stuff ^^
I get that herba is always needed for sparkling power. And for ones where 2 herba is always needed this rice drop thing is a great convenience. But I'll happily stack eggs if it cuts herba consumption to 1. Then again if you do this in multiplayer and then close your game without saving so everyone else gets shinies and you keep your herba, rice drop is the way.
This is a really cool method! The problem I have is that I never have salty herba and way too much of the other herba, so for those cases this method isnt really that useful, unless the person i saw saying that encounter power in outbreaks is actually a net negative
You rarely ever need Encounter Power unless you’re doing a non-Mass Outbreak (such as a Paradox Pokémon in Area Zero for example). Most of the hunts I’ve done I just choose 2 of whatever Herba because the odds are always boosted with Sparkling Power just the same. At the very least Encounter Power might stop Pokémon of other types spawning near your outbreak, but generally if you know how the spawns work from an outbreak then you don’t have to worry too much. This is why Humungo and Teensy are highlighted in the spreadsheets here as they are a good alternative.
I grew up with Pokeblocks, which were just as stupidly overcomplicated. but they WORKED. Imagine making a side game so important to your overall gameplay, even tying it into the story, and it just glitches so badly so consistantly players don't even bother to actually play it as intended because it probably won't work and isn't fun due to horrible interface. I'm mad because it could have been great. Just make it 2d art, side angle the long end of the bread at the bottom of the screen, and drop ingredients from the top of the screen. That makes it neigh impossible to straight miss, you can't clip through the bread as it is the bottom layer programmed in, but you can add 'overflow' and 'splash' for too many ingredients.
It isnt important but it makes things easier. I knew a few people who were shiny hunting in these games without shiny charm or herbas and they had encountered more than me before I got all the enhancers added.
@@yrn_ing But it is important to the story and the region, and deserved more care put into making it a positive experience. Pokeblocks were overly difficult and 4d chess to make due to the battery running dry in RS (which they took the time to patch with emerald), but they were still a lot of fun with friends.
@@Hex.A.Decimal the whole herba mystic story felt like it was shoehorned in. Its like they wanted to added more content and do what they couldnt do with the curry in sword and shield but in the end, it could have been easily left out. They pretty much abandon the idea of treasure hunting, to the point where I can only remember the director mentioning once at the beginning and once near the end.
Is there any way to get Humongo Power + Encounter Power instead of Title Power? That would be so useful for hunting tiny pokemon with hard-to-see shinies.
This might be great for situations like yours to cut time but I timed how long it took me to get a shiny after knocking out 60 pokemon on average with a shiny charm and no sandwiches takes me 1 hour, maybe 2 of running away and back to reset spawns if I'm unlucky. Its just so easy already. 😌 I even had two shiny minior show up one after the other. It's so broken. I never need to bother with herba 🌿
With no disrespect to your discord I’m just not extremely savvy and don’t use it much. Do you have combinations on there for each type for encounter specific (as in, other condiment combinations you can add to get encounter in each type, if you don’t want to use salty?)
It’s all good. Yep all encounter powers are covered in this video. Hopefully screenshotting the tables in this video is clear enough. All the time stamps for all the types are in the description too and will take you straight to where you want to go.
it would be better if we had a list of the drop method sandwiches that can give us sparkling and encounter with any two herbas so that we didnt have to rely on using salty
@@NIgHTMaReFortyTwoNo one here cares about breeding or IVs..if we did we wouldn’t be on a sandwich shiny hunting method video 🙄 I get it, you care about IVs, no need to behave like that over it; no one cares about your opinion, no one cares that you think sandwich hunting is the worst or whatever.
I want someone to do some math and determine how much better sparkling power 3 is then 1 and decide if its worth it to grind the herba mystica instead of BP im almost positive for outbreak farming that the sparkling power 1 is more time efficient.
Basically increase the chance Pokémon will be a smaller size than average, like how humungo power increases the chance Pokémon will be larger than average. In simpler terms, more small pokémon.
I barely even get that much herba mystica I barely have any so this is probably not very helpful but if I had plenty then would be very helpful is there anyway of getting tons of herba mystica easily
So your telling me i can even make the pokemon in mass outbreaks not only be shiny but maybe larger? damn im gonna save this for later, such a cool machanic
For every Pokémon type shown in this video there is an option for Encounter Power, which you only really need for non-Mass Outbreaks. Using Encounter Power for a Mass Outbreak may slightly prevent other Pokémon in vicinity of the outbreak from spawning, but it barely has any effect on the actual outbreak itself. Click the description to fast forward to the Pokémon type you are hunting!
@@trentlarson4941you can also do an encounter power 2 grass or dragon sandwich to increase your chances of finding an applin outbreak. Do the date skip method with that sandwich while standing where the outbreak spawns.
Sadly no. Egg Power will only speed up the rate egg spawns in your picnic basket while Sparkling Power will only have an affect on Pokémon that spawn in the overworld.
Sort of. Ingredients are coded with certain typing in mind, and it’s all a matter of mixing them to get something else, similar to mixing colours in a way. It was all trial and error.
Who'd have thunk, that this whole time we've been trying to feed the pokemon sandwiches, all they wanted was some toast
Some flavored bread actually
True
An open-face Herba Mystica and air sandwich, you mean.
@@eekyelkins100 Flavored bread is damn good!
I apologize so much but... "thought" who'd have "thought"
So basically what I got from all of this is that Garlic Bread is all powerful.
Not even, just a little bit of cilantro and basil 😭

@@der_saftmonhol’ up
huge lifesaver for the weird recipes with huge amounts of ingredients. will definitly use this going forward
If it's for sparkling power 3 I had my own method that used 2 herba and one ingredient, but this is definitely faster. I am going to see what ends up cheapest of the two and make something out of it.
Just use the infographic that uses 1 ingredient. It’s easier than this trust me
@@alexgrissom3513what infographic I’ve only seen is the chart with “use x ingredients base” and then “use these specific ingredients for x type”
Look up papa Jeffes recipes, the guy’s come up with recipes that require one ingredient, two herbas and that’s it

not true, outbreak > sandwiches > normal spawns (if i remember right) but their are tiers to spawn order
@@professoryorick5676 So it isn't really useful but is not like it is bad or anything?
@@Arcsut if the enc power is same as outbreak typing youre good
if its different it might mess up spawns

Encounter power and humungo power are great tools needed for a lot of hunts. The herba used in this method allows for these choices, but it’s just easier to pick ingredients around most any two herba rather pick herba around simpler ingredients.

I think I'll stick with the normal method just because guaranteed encounter power is largely a must outside of an Outbreak for me.
Video save to be re watched over and over...also subbed, thanks for a super useful video 😊
This is so hilariously funny for making sandwiches that are super-powerful. I guess even in Pokemon, sometimes the best thing is simply toast.
Thanks, this helps me on my Squirtle hunting quest. Sooo sick of piling loads of cucumber on the sandwiches over and over again.
It worked I did it for fire types and found a female shiny torchic.

Basically increase the chance Pokémon will be a smaller size than average, like how humungo power increases the chance Pokémon will be larger than average.

Trying to figure out how to get Sparkling, encounter, and item drop at the same time
If you figure out let me know. Sparkling and Title always seem to be paired with one another with no way of changing that unfortunately.

Just go on Twitch and search for one of the many bots that auto host raids that give you 10 Herba each time you win. You’ll have a bunch in no time!
