In Pokemon Gold and Silver, the ability to have custom made Pokeballs fashioned was introduced. After rescuing the Azalea Town Slowpokes, Kurt will reward you with a Fast Ball and the offer to make you more specialty Pokeballs if you bring him Apricorns. Below is a list of what can be made, what Apricorns are needed, and where to find them.
