How to Get the Coveted Premier Ball in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

As a long-time Pokemon trainer, I know the struggle of trying to collect those coveted Premier Balls. With their stylish white and red design, Premier Balls stand out from the pack. But you can‘t just buy them outright – you‘ll need to put in some work to add them to your collection.

In this detailed guide, I‘ll share everything I‘ve learned about grabbing Premier Balls through my own experience and research. Whether you‘re a new player or a seasoned Pokemon pro, you‘ll become a Premier Ball expert in no time. Let‘s dive in!

What Makes Premier Balls So Special?

Premier Balls have been around since the Gen 3 days. They don‘t offer any capture rate advantages like specialized balls. But Premier Balls are treasured for their sleek look and commemorative status.

As a promotional item, Premier Balls celebrate special in-game events or milestones. Beyond utility, they symbolize dedication as a trainer. Premier Balls also stand out in battles and trades as a status symbol.

For collectors, Premier Balls are must-have variants to complete your Poke Ball arsenal. As a hardcore Pokemon gamer myself, I‘ve made amassing Premier Balls a top priority.

Where to Stock Up on Regular Poke Balls

To earn Premier Balls, you first need a stockpile of standard Poke Balls. Here are the best places to buy them:

PokeMarts

  • Found in most cities and towns
  • Provide endless supply of Poke Balls
  • Purchase basics like regular Poke Balls, Great Balls, Ultra Balls

Delibird Presents

  • Specialty store run by delivery Pokemon
  • Carry wide range of standard balls
  • Locations in Levincia, Mesagoza, Cascarrafa

I suggest hitting up these shops frequently as you explore Paldea. Buying in bulk works best for the Premier Ball deal!

The Premier Ball Deal: Buy 10, Get 1 Free

This is how to turn your Poke Ball purchases into Premier Balls:

For every 10 Poke Balls you buy, you get 1 Premier Ball free.

The balls can be any combination – 10 standard, 5 Great & 5 Ultra, etc. As long as you buy 10, you‘ll receive a Premier Ball.

This "Buy 10, Get 1" deal can be utilized repeatedly. I once bought 200 Poke Balls and walked away with 20 Premier Balls!

Step-By-Step Instructions

Follow these steps when shopping:

  1. Buy regular Poke Balls in multiples of 10.
  2. The cashier will give you a Premier Ball for every set of 10.
  3. Check your Bag‘s Poke Ball pocket and confirm receipt of your Premier Balls.
  4. Rinse and repeat for continuous Premier Ball bounty!

Where to Redeem the Premier Ball Deal

The key shops offering the 10:1 Premier Ball deal are:

  • Mesagoza: PokeMart and Delibird‘s
  • Levincia: PokeMart and Delibird‘s
  • Cascarrafa: PokeMart and Delibird‘s

I suggest teleporting directly to these areas before major shopping trips. Hit both the PokeMart and Delibird‘s store to double your Premier Ball earnings!

Premier Balls Cannot Be Directly Purchased

This was shocking to me at first. Even if you have a ton of cash, you cannot simply buy Premier Balls from a store.

The only way to obtain them is through redeeming the "Buy 10, Get 1" deal. So investing in regular Poke Ball stocks is a must!

The Satisfaction of Premier Ball Collecting

As a longtime Pokemon trainer, I‘ve loved assembling my collection of varied Poke Balls. But Premier Balls feel especially rewarding.

Watching that pile of standard Poke Balls in your bag turn into a premier set is super satisfying. And seeing a Pokemon caught or battling in a Premier Ball never gets old.

For any passionate Pokemon trainer, collecting these commemorative balls should be a priority. Just put in the legwork and utilize the deals above. Before you know it, you‘ll have a stash of Premier Balls to makeProfessor Oak jealous!
