Does Sparkling Power Work on Eggs in Pokemon? (Does Sparkling Power Affect Eggs in Pokemon?)

It took me a long time to collect the ingredients needed for a Shiny sandwich, which would grant me sparkling power.

However, I wondered whether it would help me track Shiny Pokemon eggs or if I’m limited to wild Pokemon. So, I scoured online forums for answers.

Honestly, I hoped sparkling power worked on eggs. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case 😞, and I had to content myself with finding a Shiny in the wild.

Anyway, here’s what you need to know about sparkling powers…

Does using sparkling power increase the chances of getting a Shiny Pokemon?

Yes. Using sparkling power increases your chances of finding a Shiny Pokemon 😊. Sparkling power is a meal power available after eating a Shiny sandwich.

Shiny sandwiches require at least one ingredient and two Herba Mystica. Herba Mystica is a rare ingredient originating from the Great Paldean Crater 🤓.

There are five types of this ingredient, and each affects Pokemon differently. They are:

1. Sweet Herba Mystica – good for gut health and aids digestion, stomach aches, and lack of appetite.
2. Bitter Herba Mystica – improves blood circulation, warms the body, and improves immunity.
3. Spicy Herba Mystica – boosts your Pokemon’s metabolism and circulation, which helps remove toxins.
4. Salty Herba Mystica – Good for aching hands and feet and heals numbness and muscle weakness.
5. Sour Herba Mystica – rejuvenates tired players and Pokemon.

There are two kinds of Shiny Sandwiches:

1. Those requiring fewer ingredients
2. Those made from any Herba Mystica.

Via GIPHY

As mentioned, sparkling power increases your chances of finding a Shiny Pokemon. It’s obtained from eating a Shiny sandwich made from at least one ingredient and two Herba Mystica.

It’s worth noting, however, that Herba Mystica is only available after completing five and six-star tera raids. Therefore, you cannot make a Shiny sandwich without it.

Nevertheless, you can still improve your chances of catching a Shiny Pokemon by using a Shiny charm, the Masuda method, or participating in Mass Outbreaks.
