About Apricorn Balls
Apricorn Balls are crafted from Apricorns by Kurt in Johto (Generation II) and later available through special events. Each Apricorn color produces a different ball with unique effects. These rare balls have become collector's items and are prized for their aesthetics in competitive breeding.
Apricorn Types
Seven Apricorn Balls exist: Level Ball (better for lower-level targets), Lure Ball (fishing encounters), Moon Ball (Moon Stone evolutions), Friend Ball (high initial friendship), Love Ball (opposite gender bonus), Heavy Ball (heavy Pokemon), and Fast Ball (fast Pokemon). Each fills a specific catching niche.
Collector Value
Apricorn Balls are among the rarest in the series. Pokemon bred in Apricorn Balls pass down the ball type, making them popular for competitive breeding. Moon Ball Clefable and Love Ball Gardevoir are particularly sought after in trading communities.
