How to Farm Poke Ball Ingredients Efficiently
Harvest Apricorns at Jubilife Village Farm
Farm Apricorns efficiently by talking to Colza at Jubilife Village. He can grow and harvest crops that you can use to craft materials. This can help you gather more Apricorns in addition to farming them outside the village.
Break Gray Ores
Breaking Gray Ores can give you Black Tumblestones and Iron Chunks that you can use to craft Poke Balls with better performance like Ultra Balls and Gigaton Balls.
While the materials are available at the Craftswork in Jubilife Village, we do not recommend buying them because it is expensive.
Is there a Master Ball?
No Master Ball in the Game
Unfortunately, there is no Master Ball in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. It is most likely because the game is set in the distant past where there is no technology to craft a Master Ball.
It can't be crafted and can't be found anywhere in the game. Even after completing the Pokedex, reaching Rank 10, and catching Arceus, the game does not reward you with the Master Ball.
Poke Balls in Hisui Region
Since Pokemon Legends: Arceus is set during a different time, Poke Balls in the game look different from the ones that you have seen from core Pokemon games.
It appears that Poke Balls back then are made of wood, and are crafted from various materials found in the Hisui region. They also have vents that produce steam whenever a Pokemon is caught.
