While traveling through Pokémon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk’s Terrarium, you will see Vending Machines across the map at Rest Stops. If you scroll to the bottom of the items they offer, you can purchase dozens of sandwich ingredients that can be used to make your sour sandwich. 

The basic recipe we tested only requires:

  1. Three cucumbers
  2. And two servings of vinegar

This is the cheapest and easiest way to make a sour sandwich without using too many ingredients, but there is one other guaranteed method. 

If you put a Sour Herba Mystica on any of your sandwiches without another Herba Mystica, you will make that sandwich sour. You can get Herba Mystica in several ways, but the most common is by completing Tera Raids. Just try to time going into a raid with some of your other BBQs.


So, there you have it. You know everything you need to know about making sour sandwiches in Pokémon Scarlett and Violet The Indigo Disk.
