    Apricorn Balls are beloved for their rarity and charming design - you're given one of each Apricorn Ball throughout the game, and that's it... Or is it?

    Thanks to some testing with @karatekid770 we discovered that you are able to get more Apricorn Balls - without hacking.

    To do this, you must have:
    • Gold/Silver (virtual console edition)
    • Pokebank
    • Poketransporter
    • Must have reached the Burnet Building in Hea'hea City (USUM)
    Load up your copy of Gold or Silver, and prepare any Pokémon for transfer. Save after doing this, then exit the game.

    Open up Poketransporter, and then transfer over any Pokémon from Gold or Silver. Move it from Pokebank to your copy of Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon.

    Put the transferred Pokémon into your party, then head to the Gamefreak building (next to the Burnet Building). Go up the stairs once, then enter the room to the southeast.

    Head to the west side of the room and talk to the man standing in front of the bookcases. If you have a Pokémon from G/S, he will give you one of every Apricorn Ball.

    Let me know if this works for RBY! I believe it's a one time event, but feel free to try and see if it works daily.

    Wow, that is really great to know, thank you for sharing! I wish getting more of them was a little easier though, I really love the customisation options Pokéballs give, even if it's just a tiny detail.

    No problem! I had no idea about this so it was a nice discovery. If you have a hacked 3DS, I made a mod for USUM that lets you buy Apricorn Balls (it may ruin the "rarity" aspect for some but it enhances the customization and fun for me).

    That sounds interesting, I like mods like this, I don't have a hacked 3DS, but having this would make catching mons in these neat balls a lot easier.
    Rarity is nice and all, though I only really care for the customisation personally, but these shouldn't be limited to one(or two) per playthrough in the first place, they can still make them rare if they want, just have an actual method to get more, maybe a BP shop where they're 64 BP a piece, or having them as a random spawn that Stoutland can find would at least be something.
    Luckily I do have apricorn balls saved up from different playthroughs, just have to soft reset every time a Pokémon escapes from their ball... :fuming:

    Useful, I'll need to remember to do that when I grow tired of getting trolled by the game while shiny hunting.

    I really need to do this, I love me some Apricorn Balls. Some of them got a second item appearance, but not the Moon Ball which I use the most.

    OMA! Thank you :-: Don't know how many times I've passed up to use my only lure ball on so many potential team players.
