It’s never been easier to offer Pokemon new moves. With Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, players can experience a new method of learning new moves by using Mirror Herb, a Battle Item. Those who don’t have a good understanding of the process of breeding in Pokemon can utilize this Mirror Herb to learn new moves for the Pokemon that are part of your team. Develop a new set of moves, and grind your fresh Pokemon build. This is where to locate and utilize this Mirror Herb in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
What is a Mirror Herb?
Mirror Herb is a held item available in Scarlet or Violet that can be used to teach Pokemon new moves by using the Picnic function in the game. It’s a handy option to provide moves to Pokemon that cannot naturally master those moves. While more costly, this new and unique ability is a more viable option to breed with eggs. Note that the Pokemon cannot acquire the Egg Move with the Mirror Herb from a Pokemon within that same Egg Group. That means there are different Egg Moves that each Egg Group has to offer.
Where to Look for Scarlet and Violet
Mirror Herb is located in the Delibird Presents store in Cascarrafa. The players can find Cascarrafa in the North-Western part of the Paldea region. It is located on the Asado Desert border, just to the left of the Great Crater. If you’ve already traveled to this area, you can take the quick route to Delibird Presents at the Pokemon Centre. Just cross the bridge to the right side of the Centre, and you’ll see Delibird Presents there. The store has a view of the Desert. It can be one of the only places you can purchase that has the Mirror Herb in its inventory. It can be purchased at the price of 30,000 Pokemon Dollars. See the image below for the specific location (black circles on the map).
Important note: those who are just beginning the game cannot buy this Mirror Herb. The Herb is sold later in the initial match. We suggest defeating your Gym Leaders first before looking through the store’s inventory. The players must buy 1 Mirror Herb to use on the Pokemon they have at their party. The ability to use this for all the Pokemon (once for each Pokemon) is costly, but it is worth it. It’s easier to use than the typical Pokemon breeding procedure.
How to Make use of the Mirror Herb
To utilize Mirror Herb, players must do five steps:
- Purchase The Mirror Herb in Cascarrafa’s Delibird Presents store (Battle Inventory of Items).
- You can catch a Pokemon that has the move you want to duplicate to be an egg move for the Pokemon in your current party.
- Once both Pokemon are captured. Set up Pokemon in your active party. There is the possibility of having other Pokemon within the party simultaneously, and it will not impact the effectiveness that you can make of your Mirror Herb. This is because Pokemon that have the Herb can only learn actions within the Egg Group.
- Important note: For Pokemon with a complete move set, you must erase any move, in summary, to allow for the new one. Click on Move and Stats summary for the Pokemon you’d like to apply the Herb. You can do this by pressing the Aon for the Pokemon you want to switch moves for. Select ‘ Review Summary and then select lefton on the D-Pad. Click A on the Moves & Stats page and select ‘ Forget Moves.’ Then, you can choose the move you would like your Pokemon do not forget to give room to it to use the Mirror Herb move.
- Create a Picnic with two Pokemon. Then, close to the Picnic function. The move will then be duplicated.
Learning Egg Movements
If you’re interested in knowing the Egg moves a Pokemon can learn from a trainer, check out Serebii.net. You can search for the Pokemon you want to learn a new move. Maybe you’re building an individual move set that will be used against those Tera Raids or the Black Tera Charizard. In any case, this information isn’t accessible in Scarlet and Violet; therefore, players must head to Serebii to learn what a Pokemon Egg Move is. From there, players can find out the moves that can be replicated using The Mirror Herb and look for the Pokemon to find out who has the move they want.
