How to Craft and Get Poké Balls in Cobblemon for Reliable Catches
If you’re running a Minecraft world packed with Pokemon via Cobblemon, you’ll quickly learn that the biggest bottleneck isn’t finding wild creatures—it’s getting the right Poké Balls to reliably catch them. Different ball types come with different catch-rate multipliers and special bonuses, so it helps to know what’s worth crafting and when. In Cobblemon, nearly every Poké Ball variant uses Apricorns, and you can track down different colors by exploring biomes where Apricorn trees grow or where you can plant seeds to start your own supply.
Pokémon fan games often give creative builders room to experiment with new regions, fresh storylines, and even entirely new modes. Cobblemon follows that same spirit of tinkering, and once you’re deep into catching Pokémon, ball choice becomes part of your strategy. Below are the recipes and effects for the full lineup of Poké Ball types—along with what each one does and how its catch rate changes depending on the situation.
All Cobblemon Poké Ball Types and What They Do
The basic Poké Ball has no special effects, and its catch rate is fixed at 1x.
The Premier Ball also comes without any special effects, using a static 1x catch rate.
The Friend Ball adds 150 Friendship to the Pokémon you capture, while keeping a static 1x catch rate.
The Heal Ball is built for recovery: it restores all HP and PP of the target Pokémon and clears every status condition, with a static 1x catch rate.
The Luxury Ball provides a comfort boost by doubling the captured Pokémon’s Friendship rate. Like several early options, it uses a static 1x catch rate.
The Great Ball has no special effects, but its catch rate is stronger than baseline at 1.5x.
The Safari Ball is designed primarily for Safari Zone-style game modes and also runs at a 1.5x catch rate.

The Love Ball is gender-aware. It has an 8x catch rate when the target Pokémon is the opposite gender of your current Pokémon.
