'''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]], [[Kanto]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}, and [[Hisui]] [[region]]s, and on [[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 in the traditional way. In the Hisui region, people [[crafting|craft]] Poké Balls using {{i|Apricorn|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 them to turn into [[Spoiled Apricorn]]s and eat through the softened skin to the insides. Trainers can blend Apricorns in an [[Apriblender]] to make Aprijuice for their Pokémon to drink.
