How To Find Herba Mystica In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Herba Mystica is a rare and mysterious plant that can significantly increase your odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. It is additionally sought-after because players can use it to create Raid Power sandwiches, which increases the number of rewards earned from a single raid. However, Herba Mystica is just as tricky to come by as it is useful.

Where To Find Herba Mystica?

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, beating Tera Raids can bag you an Herba Mystica. These boss fights are pretty much the only way to acquire this material. However, some Tera Raid Pokémon have a higher chance of dropping Herba Mystica than others. By targeting these Pokémon, players can farm Herba Mystica much more reliably.

How To Farm Herba Mystica

Seven-star raids provide the best rates for dropping Herba Mystica. Unfortunately, these raids only ever come up as limited-time events and, therefore, a very rare feat. Luckily, players always have access to the next best thing: Those 6-star raids.

While it is possible for players to refresh the available Tera Raids or join other players, Tera Raids via code, the most efficient way to farming Herba Mystica is by resetting the Tera Raids on your own map. This method requires players to have beaten the post-game story and unlock 6-Star Tera Raids. Here’s what you should do: 

  1. Open the map and locate the 6-Star Tera Raid
  2. Defeat the Tera Raid Pokémon either online or solo
  3. Open the in-game map again
  4. Press the HOME button on the Switch
  5. Navigate to Settings > System > Date and Time
  6. Click on Date and Time and select Okay
  7. Press the HOME button and return to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
  8. Locate the new 6 Star Tera Raid

Which Tera Raids Should You Target

While certain Tera Raid Pokémon have a higher chance of dropping Herba Mystica once defeated, it isn’t due to that Pokémon having higher odds, but because they have a chance of dropping more than one type of Herba Mystica. Certain Tera Raid Pokémon can even drop every kind of Herba Mystica, making them the go-to Pokémon to target when farming.

Here’s a list of Tera Raid Pokémon that players should target to farm Herba Mystica:
