Sandwiches

Following on from the Curry in Pokémon Sword & Shield, Pokémon Scarlet & Violet introduce another form of food creation, Sandwiches. However, sandwiches have got even more boosts and bonuses than ever before.

To make a Sandwich, whenever you are out in the region of Paldea, you can start a Picnic. Access your Picnic table and you'll be able to create a sandwich. To do this, you need a variety of ingredients that can be found throughout the Paldea region, including in stores.

There are two ways of making sandwiches. First is to create using a Recipe, with Recipes being obtained through a Sandwich shop in Mesagoza, and the other is just to create your own with various combinations of ingredients

The Level of Meal Power you get is dependent on the amount of points you get in that field and the three Powers and Three Types used are the options with the three highest values.
Level 1 - Less than 100
Level 2 - Less than 2000
Level 3 - 2000+

Sparkling Power requires two of any Herba Mystica before it activates

When the Sandwich is created, you and your Pokémon then eat it and you will get a special bonus for the next 30 minutes of play.

If you make a sandwich with friends who are in the game using the Union Circle, you can make bigger sandwiches with bigger effects. If you put too many fillings in, then that will cause a lower strength Sandwich, reducing the effects

With the Sandwiches, and other food that you can purchase throughout the Paldea Region, you will gain specific powers. The items you use to create the sandwich determine each of the powers, and every power other than Egg Power will be boosting a certain type. A sandwich can only have 3 Meal Powers at any one time and will take the highest type values from the highest power values to determine it.

The final taste value of the sandwich will also factor in. It will add 100 to a specific Power based upon the taste of the sandwich. There are also some combinations which add a different Meal Power

Throughout the game, you will recive a variety of recipes. These are typically from the Sandwich Shop in Mesagoza as you gain more badges, or have obtained Herba Mystica from Tera Raid Battles.

These Recipes will tell you what ingredients you need and will have specific Meal Power
