Where to Find Jalapeño

The common ingredient of Jalapeño can only be found in one food stall. Whilst the majority of common ingredients are purchasable in Aquiesta Supermarket, Jalapeño is only available at Sure Cans. The best place to go to first for sandwich ingredients is over at Mesagoza. This is the main location to pick up ingredients and the best place to go for building Shiny Sandwiches. Mesagoza is the first City you visit in Paldea. Therefore, we recommend picking up many items/ingredients very early in the game. The pricing of Jalapeño is 220 Pokémon Dollars. Refer to the image below for an exact location of Sure Cans in Mesagoza (black circle on the map). The food stalls are located on the left side of the City.

Alternatively, if you are searching for a specific Shiny Pokémon, in a Mass Outbreak or in their relevant Shiny location, you may wish to travel to Porto Marinada. This is located on the western side of Paldea and on the border. Overlooking the West Paldean Sea. The Marketplace here is located between the Asado Desert and West Province (Area Two). It is a great spot to pick up some Dark-Type Shiny Pokémon.
