End of Season Rewards
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.
For instance, Season 1 offered Sport Balls, Season 2 offered Dream Balls, Season 3 offered Safari Balls, and Season 4 offered Beast Balls.
