While you can use this method to get half the items, it is recommended you get these via the Double Item Time to save up on Materials.
The Item Printer was found to generate items the second you press the "I want to print something" text. This can then be exploited by changing your Nintendo Switch's internal time and obtain prints that are consistent and can be replicated by anyone.

Can be Earned From the 7-Star Tera Raid Events
Players who choose to try any of the 7-Star Tera Raid Events can earn a handful of useful rewards including an Ability Patch. Make sure to try out this unique challenge while it lasts.
Rare Chance of Dropping in Other Tera Raid Battles
Compared to the 7★ Charizard Raid Battle, Ability Patches are a rare drop from 6★ Tera Raid Battles, so your chances of getting the item easily might be lower than other items.
Obtain as Blueberry Pokedex Reward
An Ability Patch can be received as a reward after registering 230 Pokemon in the Blueberry Pokedex.
To claim the reward, press the X button in the Blueberry Pokedex menu to open the Pokedex Rewards menu. Then press the X button again to claim the reward.
