Making PokéBalls by hand is a big part of the franchise. Crafting Pokéballs has been a big part of the games for years, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus has brought the system back. You can make almost any ball in the game with the right items. Along with the basic Poké Ball, ancient versions of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball can be found as well. There are also versions of type-specific balls you can use as well.
Provided you have the items needed in your Satchel, you can make more balls via the Crafting Kit. This is a huge timesaver and means you won’t have to seek out crafting benches to make more. You also don’t need to worry about gathering dozens of different colors of apricorns like in some games, this variant of the idea is much simpler. There are only a few crafting materials in the entire game, making the system much easier to manage.
Other rare items exist in this game, like the incredibly useful Rare Candy. So get out there and find those crafting materials. Gather them up and get crafting back at base. Now, keep reading to learn about all of the PokéBalls in Pokémon Legends: Arceus and how to make them.
How to craft all PokéBalls in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Each Ball in the games has its own required materials to make. It’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for trees and other spawn locations for Apricorns and Berries. Not only are these source of materials for healing items, but you’re also going to need a steady supply of the various PokéBalls in Pokémon Legends: Arceus to catch all the monsters you encounter. Throughout the game, you’ll gain a steady supply of balls and other useful items from requests and missions as well, so make sure to do those when you have the chance.
