With the newest Pokémon mechanic of the Picnic table, players can increase those Shiny odds tremendously. With starting odds of 1/4096, these can be increased simply by making sandwiches. How can sandwiches help? They offer temporary powers, offering the chance to run into specific Pokémon-Types and those rare Shiny Pokémon in the wilderness of Paldea. Through experimentation, players have found the means to increase those Shiny odds. One of the most important ingredients for these recipes is the Prosciutto. This is our guide on where to find this ingredient in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
What is Prosciutto Used For in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?
Prosciutto is one of the common ingredients of Scarlet and Violet. Used solely to craft sandwiches. Sandwiches are an essential part of the Pokémon collecting experience in Scarlet and Violet. Their purpose is to give its players temporary boosting abilities called the Meal Powers. These can be to boost the catching and encountering of Pokémon. Or to give other mechanics a boost such as EXP and dropped loot from wild Pokémon. The Picnic function is a key mark of the game that helps the players massively.
Comparatively, it is more useful than previous features such as Pokémon camping. Whilst these level up your Pokémon fast and develop the bond between the player and their Pokémon. They do not offer much in regard to increasing your chances. Especially when it comes to Pokémon Shiny Hunting. This is an important part of Scarlet and Violet. Additionally, sandwich making combined with Shiny Hunting through the Picnic Reset methods massively increases those Shiny odds.
The ingredients used per sandwich will determine what Meal Powers you receive for a period of 30 minutes. Prosciutto is a key ingredient for finding specific Shiny Pokémon-Types.
