'''Apricorns''' (Japanese: '''ぼんぐりのみ''' ''Bonguri Fruit'') are fruits that can be used to construct [[Poké Ball]]s. They grow in the [[Johto]] region, [[Kanto]] region,{{sup/4|HGSS}} [[Hisui]] region, and [[Galar]]'s [[Isle of Armor]].

Apricorns can be hollowed out and fitted with special devices to function as Poké Balls. This process was developed sometime between 400 and 700 years before the present day (between the burning of Brass Tower and the first Orange League competitions). Before [[History of Poké Balls|Poké Balls became standardized]], everyone used Poké Balls made this way. In the [[Hisui]] region (the [[Sinnoh]] region of the past), people [[crafting|craft]] Poké Balls using [[Apricorn (item)|Brown Apricorns]] and [[Tumblestone]]s. In the modern day, only specialists (such as [[Kurt]]) can make Poké Balls from Apricorns.

Because the outer skin of Apricorns are so tough, they cannot be eaten by Pokémon unprocessed. In the wild, Pokémon wait for the outer skin to rot and eat the insides, leaving [[Spoiled Apricorn]]s. Trainers can blend Apricorns in an [[Apriblender]] to make Aprijuice for their Pokémon to drink.

Apricorns can be turned into Apricorn Poké Balls. In Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, the player can give Apricorns to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]], who will have turned them into Poké Balls by the next day. In Pokémon Gold and Silver he can only craft one Poké Ball at a time, whereas in subsequent games he can craft any number of the same Poké Ball at once.

In Gold and Silver, he can only craft one Poké Ball at a time, whereas in subsequent games he can craft any number of the same Poké Ball at once.


Additionally, in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, they can be blended using an [[Apriblender]] to make drinks which improve a Pokémon's [[performance]] for [[Pokéathlon]] competitions. The color of the Apricorns corresponds to their [[flavor]] and associated performance stat, with the White and Black Apricorns affecting all stats.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver only, Apricorns cannot be held, in order to prevent them being traded to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} (where they do not exist). In these games, Apricorns are placed in the [[Apricorn Box]] (a [[Key Item]] that functions like a pocket) instead of the [[Bag]]'s Items pocket. However, a Pokémon caught in an Apricorn Poké Ball can be traded to Pokémon Diamond, Pearl or Platinum, although the Pokémon's Poké Ball will appear as a standard {{i|Poké Ball}} in those games.

In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], using the Expansion Pass the player can go to the [[Isle of Armor]]. Inside the dojo on the Isle of Armor, in [[Mustard]]'s room, the player can find the [[Cram-o-matic]], a robot resembling a {{P|Cramorant}}, made by Mustard's son [[Hyde]]. It can be fed four Apricorns to create a random Poké Ball, which is determined by the combination of Apricorns put in.

It can be fed four Apricorns to create a random Poké Ball, which is determined by the combination of Apricorns put in.


In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], with the game taking place in the past, all Poké Balls are crafted from [[Apricorn (item)|Brown Apricorns]] (simply referred to as Apricorns in the game). Variant Poké Balls can be constructed by using additional or alternative materials, but all Poké Balls use a Brown Apricorn.

The primary method of obtaining Apricorns is from Apricorn trees. These trees yield one Apricorn per day. In the [[Generation II]] games, only one of each Apricorn is available per day, from the Apricorn trees on [[Route]]s {{rtn|37|Johto}} and {{rtn|42|Johto}} and in [[Azalea Town]].

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Apricorns are much more widely available. Locations that contained [[Berry]] trees in Generation II now contain Apricorn trees instead, sometimes with the number of trees also being increased. [[Green Apricorn]]s are by far the most common, appearing in eight places; while [[White Apricorn|White]] and [[Red Apricorn]]s are the least common, each only appearing in three places.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Brown Apricorns can be found growing on trees throughout the Hisui region. These Apricorns can be retrieved by having a Pokémon bump the tree they grow in. The Apricorns regrow quickly, once the player has left the vicinity.

Apricorns were first seen in ''[[PS101|Teddiursa's Picnic]]'', where [[Kurt]]'s ability to turn them into special Poké Balls was demonstrated. {{adv|Gold}}, unaware of Apricorns' true purpose, attempted and failed to eat one from a tree.

In ''[[PS154|Yikes, It's Yanma!]]'', an Apricorn lottery was used to randomly decide which pairs of [[Gym Leader]]s from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] would face each other in an interregional {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition tournament}} at [[Indigo Plateau]]. [[Erika]] and [[Pryce]], due to their statuses as the leaders of their respective [[region]]s' Gym Leaders, were automatically selected to battle each other.

* In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Apricorns have different sprites for the Apricorn Case and the Bag. In these games, the Bag sprites are only used in the point-exchange menu at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]].

* In the anime, possibly as a coloring error, [[Black Apricorn]]s were portrayed as being brown-colored.
* Because of the length of the word "Apricorn", only the [[Red Apricorn]] is able to have its full color name in English prior to [[Generation VI]], with the other six having abbreviated versions because item names are limited to 12 characters (including spaces). Starting in Generation VI, item names can be longer, and the Apricorns are all spelled out in full in English (although they were not made available until [[Generation VIII]]). In all generations in Japanese, abbreviation is used only for the [[Green Apricorn]], which uses みど ''mido'' as an abbreviated form of みどり ''midori'', green.

* In Generation IV, if an Apricorn tree is left bare and on-screen without turning the game off over [[Time|midnight]], the plant will sparkle (in the same way [[Berry]] plants do when advancing a stage) and an Apricorn will appear on it. If the game was in sleep mode (the [[Nintendo DS]] was closed) over midnight, this will happen as soon as the game is taken out of sleep mode.
