Apriblender

The Apriblender in the Apricorn Box.

The Apriblender (Japanese: ボンシェイカー Bon Shaker) is a device found in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Much like the Berry Blender mixes Berries together in Hoenn to make condition-enhancing Pokéblocks, the Apriblender mixes Apricorns together to make performance-boosting Aprijuice.

It is located in the Apricorn Box, and may be obtained at the Pokéathlon Dome from a woman at the Aprijuice stand to the west of the building.

Up to five Apricorns can be put into the Blender at once, which will not produce a drink instantly. Instead, the player must walk 100 steps to mix up the Apricorns, which will afterwards become Aprijuice that can be used up to three times. Once a batch of Aprijuice is finished mixing, then more Apricorns can be added.

Tap the round button on the Apriblender device to see information on the top screen about the contents of the blender. If there is Aprijuice in the blender, it will show you the flavor level, the mildness level, and the number of Apricorns that you can add to the blender at that time. Selecting "Taste" on the menu that appears on the bottom screen will give you a clue as to what performance stats the juice will raise, along with how strong the juice is.

The flavor of Aprijuice determines how much it will raise the stats of a pokemon that drinks it. The flavor of a type of juice increases when certain Apricorns are blended with a pre-existing batch, if the Apricorns added are of the same type as the juice and have a strong value (see the chart below). A juice with a high flavor can raise performance stats by several levels, whereas a juice with a low flavor will only raise it slightly or not at all. A juice's flavor maxes out at 100.

The mildness of a batch of Aprijuice determines whether or not the juice will have a negative effect on a pokemon, such as lowering certain performance stats. The more mild a batch of Aprijuice is, the less negative affect it will have. The more the player walks, the milder the juice becomes. Also, as days pass the mildness increases. If Apricorns are added to a batch to increase the flavor, the mildness will be reset to 0 when the batch is done mixing.

The effects of multiple Aprijuices do not stack when fed to a pokémon; the effects of the new drink replace the effects of the last drink. When a Pokémon is put into a PC box, all of the effects of an Aprijuice disappear.
