Shiny Hunting is arguably the easiest it has ever been in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, and that’s thanks to the addition of Herba Mystica and the ability to make a Shiny Sandwich. However, you need specific recipes to unlock Sparking Power 3, which gives players the best odds of finding a Shiny Pokemon.

Academy Special All-type Meal Location & Price

In addition to making your shiny sandwich by hand in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, Game Freak added a meal that can be purchased at Blueberry Academy (Indigo Disk DLC) that grants the player Sparkling Power 1 for all types. This only raises your odds of finding a shiny Pokemon to 1/2048 by itself, but it’s fairly cheap and only costs a few Blueberry Points.

The Academy Special can be purchased from the Blueberry Academy Cafeteria by talking to the chef. The meal will cost you 150 BP, and the effects last for 30 minutes.
