Upgrade your sandwiches with this free Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet code

Sandwiches. While we may not know exactly when the first sandwich was made, and debate still rages if hot dogs even count as one, sandwiches have found their place in food history. In fact, the joy of sandwiches can even be experienced in the Pokémon™ Scarlet and Pokémon Violet games!

In Paldea, eating certain foods will grant you special benefits called Meal Powers. You can pack your sandwiches with all sorts of ingredients—the ones you choose directly affect what kinds of Meal Powers you’ll receive. You can get more recipes by asking around the local sandwich shops you visit…so keep your eyes (and stomach) ready!

To make a sandwich, you’ll first need to play enough of the game to unlock the picnic feature. Once you have it, start a picnic from the menu and interact with the picnic table. Now you can either pick a recipe from your list or enter Creative Mode to mix and match your ingredients yourself. Your friends can even help if you’re playing cooperatively*. Just be careful when stacking ingredients because unstable sandwiches can topple over!

If you want a head (bread?) start with some sandwich ingredients, enter this password in the Mystery Gift menu** in your game: P4LD3AP1CN1C

(Please note that the code must be entered before Jan. 16, 2026 at 12:59 p.m. PT.)

For more Pokémon fun, please take a gander at two more videos! You’ll see a group of determined friends take on a Tera Raid Battle and a Mass Outbreak (which are, of course, inspired by adventures you can have in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet).
