Sandwiches can grant you some incredible buffs in Pokémon: Scarlet and Violet, but you must ready your roll carefully to reap the best rewards. The base game rated the best sandwiches with three stars, but The Indigo Disk DLC introduced the coveted new four-star rank to challenge aspiring chiefs.

Preparing a four-star sandwich isn’t easy, but they’re worth the hassle, especially if you’re trying to complete all the Blueberry Group Quests. Here are all the four-star sandwich recipes in Pokémon: Scarlet and Violet.

Making Four-Star Sandwiches in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet comes down to the synergy of your ingredients

To whip up a four-star sandwich in Pokémon: Scarlet and Violet, you need to follow a recipe that uses ingredients worth one hundred points in each of the game’s five flavor types: Bitter, Salty, Sour, Spicy, and Sweet. Since there are several ways to reach this number, dozens of recipes can net you a four-star sandwich.

You’ll also want to ensure you’re playing with at least one other player. As far as I know, it’s impossible to make a four-star sandwich alone. Collaborating with other players can keep the time you’ll spend grinding/amount of money you’ll pay for rare ingredients to a minimum. One of you will probably have the ingredients you need for the recipe you’re using, and you can work together to get any ingredient you might be missing.

One of the most reliable ways to make a four-star sandwich is to follow a recipe that uses Herba Mystica as an ingredient. All five Herba Mystica variants are the best ingredients of their respective flavor, so you’re almost guaranteed to get a four-star sandwich if you use one.

Unfortunately, Herba Mystica is also the hardest ingredient to get in Pokémon: Scarlet and Violet. The only way to get them is to partake in five-to-six-star Tera Raid Battles, which pit you against powerful and even Legendary Pokémon. We’ve got some great tips on how to beat top-tier raids, but each Herba Mystica is a rare drop, so you won’t always get one if you beat the raid.

Here are all the four-star sandwich recipes that use Herba Mystica in Pokémon: Scarlet and Violet.

How to make four-star sandwiches without Herba Mystica in Pokémon: Scarlet and Violet

You can still make four-star sandwiches even if you don’t grind out Tera Raid Battles for Herba Mystica. There are a few four-star sandwich recipes that don’t use them. Unfortunately, they require more than a few ingredients.

With four-star sandwich recipes, quality and quantity are equally important. You and your friend/friends will have to add a few of each ingredient to get one hundred flavor points. There’s no limit on how many ingredients you can put on your sandwich, but putting on too many will hurt your final ranking. You’ll need to hit that sweet spot of not too much but not too little.

Here’s every four-star sandwich recipe that doesn’t use Herba Mystica in Pokémon: Scarlet and Violet. There may be some variation in the specific type and number of ingredients you need, but these combinations worked more times than they didn’t.
