Apricorn

An Apricorn is a type of berry that grows in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver. In the original GBC games, an apricorn would be given to Kurt in Azalia town who would then, 24 hours later, turn it into a Pokeball that you could use. These Pokeballs are completely unique and impossible to obtain any other way. In the DS remakes, not only does this feature return, but a new ApriShake feature has been added. The ApriShakes feature as Pokeblocks and Poffins, and will increase your stats in a Pokethlon contest.

The types of apricorns (and their resulting Pokeballs) are:


 * White Apricorn- Fast Ball. Works most effectively against Pokemon with a high speed stat.
 * Green Apricorn- Friend Ball. Similar to the Luxury Ball, it raises the Pokemon's happiness.
 * Black Apricorn- Heavy Ball. Catches heavy Pokemon (like Snorlax) more effectively.
 * Red Apricorn- Level Ball. Effectiveness increases with the difference in level between your Pokemon and the target Pokemon.
 * Pink Apricorn- Love Ball. Is more effective when the target Pokemon is of the opposite gender of your Pokemon.
 * Blue Apricorn- Lure Ball. Works best when fishing.
 * Yellow Apricorn- Moon Ball. Works best against Pokemon that evolve with a Moon Stone.
