End of Season Rewards
Although they are not Apricorn Balls, it's worth noting that other special Poke Balls might be obtainable when a Ranked Battle season ends. Players will receive rewards based on the ranking they achieved. This is time-sensitive and based on real life dates, so the rewards that are available to you will depend on when you are reading this. I can't predict whether future seasons will include Apricorn Balls, but it could be worth checking.
At the time of writing, the Season 2 rewards include the only known way of obtaining Dream Balls:
- Rank A - 3 Dream Balls
- Rank B–E - 2 Dream Balls
The Season 1 payout was similar, but with Sport Balls, and is no longer available, so you'll need to trade with a player who obtained this reward if you want a Sport Ball.
