A good-quality sandwich can help with everything from Shiny hunting to catching specific Pokémon, and sandwich picks play a role in making them. These seemingly unimportant trinkets hold sandwiches together and come in a variety of designs. Here’s how to get sandwich picks in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, including the best shop location.

You can buy sandwich picks from some sandwich supply stores in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. They’re an essential part of the sandwich-making puzzle, holding together the meal after you’ve placed ingredients down on the bread.

When you buy sandwich picks, you will be able to view them in your inventory alongside your sandwich ingredients and condiments.

During the sandwich making process, you can pick between your sandwich picks right after selecting what type of sandwich it is that you’re making and if you’re following a specific recipe.

There’ll be a small preview of the pick, as shown in the image below, so you know what the sandwich will look like at the end.

You can pick up sandwich picks from some of the stores that sell sandwich supplies across Scarlet and Violet‘s map, but we’d suggest going to the Artisan Bakery store in Mesagoza shown on the map below, as it’s the most convenient option in terms of location and proximity to other stores.

Alongside a good selection of sandwich picks, Artisan Bakery sells a variety of sandwich ingredients—ranging from marmalade to olive oil—making it a valuable store to keep on your radar.

As with other stores in the game, more options become available as you make progress with collecting gym badges throughout your journey. Don’t worry if you’re just starting out though, as you will still be able to pick up a variety of picks.
