The Picnic function in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet has proved to be incredibly helpful. Especially as the newest mechanic in the Pokémon franchise. Players can increase their bonds with their Pokémon and level them up quicker using the Picnics. Through experimentation, certain sandwich recipes can target specific Pokémon. Increasing the odds of locating Shiny Pokémon tremendously. This is incredibly helpful for those attempting to complete the Paldea Pokédex or trying to catch every Shiny Pokémon in the game. The Potato Tortilla is just one of the many sandwich ingredients in the game. This is our guide on where to find it.
What is Potato Tortilla Used For in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?
A Potato Tortilla is one of the many ingredients that you can purchase in Scarlet and Violet. The purpose of the ingredients is to give players a temporary boost of power. Which targets a specific category. Such as increasing your likelihood of running into a specific Pokémon. Ingredients are part of the Scarlet and Violet sandwich making in the Picnic function. Similar to that of the Sword and Shield camping mechanic. The Picnic function acts as a way to increase your bond with your Pokémon. This is essential for Pokémon who have evolutionary requirements. For example, the Pokémon that require a high enough happiness value to evolve. Not only this but, the Picnic function can be exploited as the Picnic Reset process for Shiny Hunting.
But the main feature of the Scarlet and Violet Picnics are its Meal Powers given by the sandwiches. Each sandwich has specific powers that last for 30 minutes. Whilst the game offers basic sandwiches pre-made for you to purchase, the best sandwiches are made through experimentation. Players have found recipes to help target finding specific Pokémon-Types and Shiny Pokémon. Combined with the Picnic Reset and Town Method, sandwiches are a great way to Shiny Hunt in Scarlet and Violet.
The Meal Power categories are as follows: the increased chances of encountering all Pokémon sizes and types (small, large, sparkling and title) and bonus increases such as Picnic eggs, EXP and dropped items.
