There are a lot of amazing new mysteries to look into in the region of Paldea, one of which is the Herba Mystica. These are fabled seasonings that are said to have incredible aromas and tastes. It is also said that consuming all five varieties of Herba Mystica will cure any illness.
Where To Find Herba Mystica
The Herba Mystica is likely to be recognizable to players because of their significant role in one of the game’s storylines “Path of Legends“. During this questline, players will follow Arven and assist him in his efforts to defeat the Titan Pokemon that are guarding the Herba Mystica.
After they have successfully defeated each Titan, they are able to obtain a unique variety of Herba Mystica. Arven makes sandwiches out of these Herba Mystica for his Mabostiff and either your Miradon or your Koraidon, depending on which version of the game you are playing.

If your legendary mount consumes a sandwich that contains the Herba Mystica, it will gain the ability to function more effectively as a mode of transportation after each meal. It goes from being a vehicle that can only travel on land to one that can also travel through water and is even capable of flying through the air!
Herba Mystica is a quest item that is very vital to the Path of Legends Questline. However, it is entirely possible to earn your very own Herba Mystica in the game even outside of that questline. There are five flavors of available Herba Mystica: sweet, bitter, salty, sour, and spicy.

Types of Herba Mystica
There are 5 types of Herba Mystica and these can be found in cavern areas across Paldea. Each of the Herba Mystica is guarded by a Titan Pokemon, so you will need to defeat the Titan Pokemon first. After obtaining each Herba Mystica, Arven will use it to make a sandwich which will be used to regain Koraidon and Miraidon strength and unlock an ability.

How To Farm Herba Mystica
There is a chance that Herba Mystica will be dropped as a reward during Raid Battles. However, it is not possible to gain them through any of the standard raids. You will need to fight and win in 5-star Tera Raids.
After completing the main story of the game, you will be able to unlock 5-star Tera Raids. This will involve completing the quest lines for the Path of Legends, Victory Road, and Starfall Street, as well as the entirety of the Area Zero for Paldea. After you have completed those sections of the game and the credits have rolled, 5-star Tera Raids will start to appear on your map.

Another possible source of Herba Mystica is the more challenging 6-star Tera Raids. These harder raids are unlocked after you’ve won a good amount of 5-star Tera Raids.
Not all Tera Raid Pokemon give Herba Mystica upon defeat. Here is a list of Pokemon that drop Herba Mystica when defeated in 5 and 6-star Tera Raids:
5-star raids
- Amoonguss
- Blissey
- Cetitan
- Dodonzo
- Drifblim
- Eelektross
- Gengar
- Glalie
- Palafin
6-star raids
- Amoonguss
- Blissey
- Cetitan
- Dodonzo
- Farigiraf
- Vaporeon
Should you have no luck in encountering any of these Pokemon then you can always just forward your Nintendo Switch’s time setting to refresh the Raid Pokemon available. It is recommended that players select 5-star raids over 6-star raids due to the fact that there is not a large difference in the Herba Mystica drop rates between the two, despite there being a significant difference in the difficulty.
