What are Apriballs (Apricorn Balls)?
Special Poke Ball Made from Apricorns
Crafted from Apricorns, Apriballs are a rare type of Poke Ball that was introduced during Gen 2. Players would harvest apricorns of different colors and submit them to receive Apriballs after a while. They are essentially Poke Balls that have higher catch rates when meeting certain conditions.
However, in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, players cannot craft nor purchase them. The only way to acquire them repeatedly is through winning Reward Battles in the Infinite Z-A Royale.
