What Are Apricorns?

Fruits Found In Isle Of Armor

The Isle of Armor brings with it the return of Apricorns! These unique fruits can only be found in Pokemon Sword and Shield by purchasing the expansion pass DLC.

All Apricorn Types List

Red Apricorn	Blue Apricorn	Yellow Apricorn
Green Apricorn	Pink Apricorn	White Apricorn
Black Apricorn

Used To Make Makeshift Pokeballs

Apricorns are used by the Cram-o-matic to get rare Pokeballs. In order to make rare ball, you need plenty of Apricorns so collect as much as you can!

Turned Into Aprijuice

In previous installments in the franchise, Apricorns were also able to be blended to create Aprijuice. The effect of the Aprijuice varied depending on what type of Apricorn it was made with. This feature does not seem to be in Sword and Shield.

Apricorns - How To Get

Shake Down From Trees

The only way to get Apricorns in Pokemon Sword and Shield is to shake them down from berry trees found all over the island. You will get a mix of Apricorns and Berries, but don't shake too much or you might shake down a Pokemon!

Exclusive To The Isle Of Armor & Crown Tundra

Apricorns are only available for players who have the Isle of Armor & Crown Tundra expansion. It's possible that trading could be an option, but previously, Pokemon holding Apricorns cannot be traded so they cannot be shared between players.

Complete Isle Of Armor Pokedex

The lady who offers to show Pokedex entries for 100 Watts will apparently go on to sell you Apricorns for 100 W after you complete the Isle of Armor Pokedex. We were able to confirm this only on one file that has a full Pokedex completed, so we're inclined to say that is the main condition for this, but we are not 100% sure.

Apricorn - How To Use

Exchange 4 For Poke Balls In Cram-o-matic

You can use 4 Apricorns of any color & feed them into Hyde's Cram-o-matic machine to get a Poke Ball.

Getting Rare Poke Balls Is Random

There's a chance you can receive a random rare Poke Ball when you feed 4 Apricorns to the Cram-o-matic. However, all evidence seems to suggest that this is random. We will continue to look into this.

Poke Ball Is Determined By Apricorn Color

You can feed Apricorns to the Cram-o-matic machine to get a variety of Poke Balls. However, note that rare balls have a very low probability of showing up. Also, Safari and Sport balls can be obtained using any color Apricorn.

Rare Ball Probability

We ran tests on the Cram-o-matic a total of 350 times and received a mere 6 rare Poke Balls. Though still under verification, the rate of getting rare Poke Balls appears to be somewhere around 1-2%.

Unconfirmed Pokeball Recipes

The recipes below are taken from the comment section of this article. Thank you for your help! Note that getting rare balls seems to be random.
