How to Get Nightmare Ball

Check Skill Fruit Trees for Nightmare Ball

Palworld Skill Fruit Tree
The Dark Skill Fruit: Nightmare Ball can teach Nightmare Ball to any Pal when used, including those who cannot learn the skill by leveling. Just note that the Skill Fruits that spawn on trees are random!
How to Get Skill Fruits

Pass Nightmare Ball by Breeding

Palworld - Breeding Pals
When Pals are bred, Parent Pals have a chance to pass down their active skills to Offspring Pals. You can use this method to get more Pals with Nightmare Ball.

Make sure you can cook Cake and you have the Breeding Farm unlocked.
