How To Get Apricorn Balls In Pokémon Scarlet And Violet

There are a few methods to get Apricorn Balls in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The first way is to complete your Pokédex. As you register more Pokémon into your Pokédex, you will receive rewards, some of which are Apricorn Balls. Here is a list of all the Apriballs you can get via Pokédex milestone rewards:

• Fast Ball: 240 Pokémon caught.
• Friend Ball: 260 Pokémon caught.
• Level Ball: 280 Pokémon caught.
• Lure Ball: 300 Pokémon caught.
• Heavy Ball: 320 Pokémon caught.
• Moon Ball: 340 Pokémon caught.
• Dream Ball: 360 Pokémon caught.
• Beast Ball: 400 Pokémon caught.

Naturally, completing the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Pokédex is no easy task, and it will definitely take some time for you to acquire all of the Apricorn Balls this way. However, the next method to acquire Apriballs is a lot more demanding.

Another way to get Apricorn Balls in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is to bid for them at the auction house. Head over to Porto Marinada and you can take place in auctions (granted, you have already returned Gym Leader Kofu's wallet in the main storyline). From here, you can bid for Apriballs starting at 100,000 Poké Dollars. Yes, you read that right - starting. Depending on how lucky or unlucky you are, people have reported their bids going as high as 800,000 Poké Dollars for a single Apriball!

Finally, it is also possible to acquire Apricorn Balls via the Academy Ace Tournament at your school, but this method requires having the post-game unlocked. It should be noted that you can also clone Apricorn Balls using the cloning method discovered in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
