Apricorn Recipes

Learn how to get Apricorns and what Poké Balls you can craft using the Cram-o-matic in Pokemon Sword and Shield's Isle of Armor DLC. Get all the recipes!

Hey there! So, you're looking to craft some sweet Poké Balls with the Cram-o-matic in the Isle of Armor DLC for Pokemon Sword and Shield? Awesome! First off, you can snag Apricorns by shaking berry trees. The Forest of Focus is a great spot to try your luck.

Here's the deal: if you feed the Cram-o-matic four colored Apricorns, it'll spit out a random Poké Ball. The catch is, the ball you get depends on which Apricorns you use. Each of the 7 Apricorns has its own list of potential balls. Let's break it down:

Now, if you use four of the *same* Apricorn, you'll only get balls from that specific Apricorn's list. But if you mix and match, the Cram-o-matic will pick a list based on the ratio of Apricorns you put in. For example, if you toss in 3 Red Apricorns and 1 Yellow Apricorn, you've got a 75% chance of getting a ball from the Red list and a 25% chance from the Yellow list. Your odds for those rare 1% balls are still 1%, but you're way more likely to get a Level Ball (from the Red list) than a Moon Ball (from the Yellow list).

Tip: After you make a Poké Ball, the Cram-o-matic will ask if you want to use the same recipe again, as long as you've got the Apricorns. This is super handy if you're hunting for a specific, hard-to-get ball!

Just a heads-up, if you give the Cram-o-matic less than 4 Apricorns, it'll whip up an item from the General Recipes instead, so make sure you've got a full set!
