These Poke Balls are not considered to be Apriballs as they were not originally made by Kurt in Pokemon Gold and Silver. However, they are still rare and sought after!
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.
