To unlock the Premier Ball decoration in Pokémon Quest, you must own all three paid downloadable content packs: the standard Expedition Pack, the Great Expedition Pack, and the Ultra Expedition Pack. The Premier Ball cannot be bought as an individual item; it is granted as a completion bonus once your account owns the full set of packs.
How to Acquire and Place the Premier Ball
You can fulfill the ownership requirement through either of the following purchase routes in the in-game Poké Mart on Nintendo Switch, iOS, or Android:
- The Expedition 3-Pack Bundle: Purchase the all-in-one bundle that includes the Expedition Pack, Great Expedition Pack, and Ultra Expedition Pack.
- Individual Purchases: Buy the standard Expedition Pack, Great Expedition Pack, and Ultra Expedition Pack separately over time. The bonus unlocks once all three are owned.
After obtaining the packs, follow these steps to place the item at your camp:
- Return to your Base Camp.
- Select Edit Base Camp.
- Open the decoration inventory tab and choose the Premier Ball.
- Place it on an open tile in your camp.
Like all base camp decorations in Pokémon Quest, the Premier Ball's passive benefit remains permanently active once unlocked, even if you subsequently store the item or remove it from your camp layout.
Daily PM Ticket Yields
The Premier Ball adds an extra 10 PM Tickets to your daily Poké Mart Member Service payout, which resets every 22 hours. Because each individual Expedition Pack also provides an ongoing boost to this payout, the Premier Ball brings your total recurring income to the maximum possible rate.
| Account Status | Daily Ticket Bonus | Total Payout per 22 Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Default Base Service | None | 50 PM Tickets |
| Expedition Pack | +20 PM Tickets | 70 PM Tickets |
| Great Expedition Pack | +30 PM Tickets | 100 PM Tickets |
| Ultra Expedition Pack | +40 PM Tickets | 140 PM Tickets |
| All Three Packs + Premier Ball | +10 Bonus PM Tickets | 190 PM Tickets |
Receiving 190 PM Tickets every cycle yields nearly four times the standard currency rate, providing roughly 300 extra tickets per month from the Premier Ball alone.
Recommended Next Steps for Spending PM Tickets
Once your daily payout reaches 190 PM Tickets, allocate the recurring surplus toward permanent progression upgrades in the Poké Mart:
- Expand Storage Capacity: Increase your Pokémon box and Power Stone inventory. Each upgrade costs 50 PM Tickets and adds 20 slots, up to a cap of 300 Pokémon and 300 Power Stones. Expanding these early prevents the need to constantly recycle stones or fodder during extended farming sessions.
- Purchase Ingredient Cushions: Buy the Flareon Cushion (red ingredients), Vaporeon Cushion (blue ingredients), and Jolteon Cushion (yellow ingredients) for 50 to 100 PM Tickets each. These decorations increase drop rates across expedition runs.
- Speed Up Multi-Pot Cooking: Owning all three Expedition Packs grants three extra cooking pots, allowing you to run four pots at once. You can spend surplus PM Tickets to finish cooking timers instantly when targeting specific recipes rather than waiting for battery refills.
