Poké Balls on this map

5 Poké Balls lie here: the first trainer to reach one takes it, and they all come back every Sunday at 12:00 UTC. What's inside them

Go to Shoal Cave → · Balls marked Surf need a Water-type in your party to cross the water. · 🌙 The cave floods at night (high tide, 20:00 to 06:00 UTC, RPG time): the balls marked so can only be reached then.
