Before players get ahead of themselves, they should know that making sandwiches isn’t something you can do right off the bat. Instead, players will need to progress until they reach the first major city of the game, Mesagoza. After reaching the city and advancing through the story, make your way to the west side of the city. Located over by the west exit of the city is the Artisan Bakery. This shop houses tons of different ingredients used to craft some delicious sandwiches including ketchup. Enter the store and head to the counter. One item of ketchup will cost the player 110 Poké dollars or 110 League Points (depending on which currency you want to use).

Obtaining other ingredients can be done by travelling to new locations and shops around the region. However, thanks to the creative sandwich making mode, players can mix and match any ingredients they currently have in order to make all new sandwiches. Sometimes, even sandwiches with better status effects than ones with recipes. Knowing how to get ketchup in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will go a long way to helping players craft certain sandwiches. While other ingredients are needed, ketchup allows players to create noodle sandwiches as well as fried fillet sandwiches. Just make sure to keep your sandwiches away from your Pokéballs. You never know if a sandwich will go missing.
