Although the chances of receiving one are rather low, participating in Academy Ace Tournament battles allow you to earn Apriballs as well. While the Apriball that you receive is chosen at random, you do not have to spend money to get one, making it a more efficient method for collecting these rare Pokeballs.
Certain Pokeballs are also available as one-time rewards from catching and registering Pokemon in your Pokedex.
How to Complete the Pokedex and Rewards
There is a very high chance of obtaining an Apriball if the Poke Ball Lotto activates randomly as you do print jobs for the Item Printer.
Note that the Item Printer is available only on The Indigo Disk DLC.
Poke Ball Lotto Odds and How to Unlock
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.
