Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Herba Mystica guide: Tera Raid battles, drops & types

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players will collect the valuable Herba Mystica as a reward from five and six-star Tera Raid battles so they can cook the Sparkling Power sandwiches for shiny hunting. Below is everything to know about each type of Herba Mystica and how to get them.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players will have many tasks to complete once they have beaten the main storyline for the games. One of these key activities is Shiny hunting. There are plenty of ways to Shiny Hunt in the Paldea region, from wandering the overworld with a Shiny Charm to tackling Mass Outbreaks. Each holds the possibility of a lucky find.

One of the best ways to boost Shiny odds in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet is by making sandwiches. Using the Herba Mystica introduced in the main storyline of the game, players can craft special sandwiches that offer a “Sparkling Power”. This boost makes it more likely to bump into a Shiny while exploring.

However, to get the Herba Mystica, there are a few things players need to know. First they must beat the main story to unlock five-Star Tera Raids and then win 15 of those battles to unlock the six-stars Tera Raids. Once that is done, they just need to pick the correct Tera Raids to get the Herba Mystica item drop. Below is everything players need to know to find the right ones.

What are the spawn rates for Herba Mystica drops

Unfortunately, Herba Mystica have a very rare drop rate. The five-star raids have an estimate of 10% chance of dropping the herb, while six-star raids have around 13%.

This means that even those who defeat the above listed Tera Raid battles may not get the needed ingredients for their Sparkling Power sandwiches immediately.

Despite this, joining Tera Raids online or searching them out on the map is an exciting part of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s post game – making the grind both enjoyable and accessibly for those interested in amassing these special sandwich accents.
