The Cram-o-matic is a machine shaped like a Cramorant that you can find very early on in your journey across the Isle of Armor, and while it looks a little janky, it does have a very unique use.
If you have some spare items lying around in your bag that you don’t plan on using or selling, you can bundle four of them together, toss them into the Cram-o-matic, and get a new item for your troubles.
This can range anywhere from tossing some Apricorns inside and getting some special Poké Balls, or combining rare material into even better items that are usually pretty hard to come by. Not all of the items available from the machine are useful, but the vast majority of them at least worth the effort to grab.
It should be noted there are hundreds, if not thousands of recipes for the Cram-o-matic, but some of them are absurd and not worth completing, like a majority of the combinations to get a Wishing Piece. In those cases, you are better off just buying or finding the item through other means.
Here is a complete list of every item you can make in the Cram-o-matic and the most optimal recipe to do so.
For most of the items the recipes will only change one or two ingredients, so you can easily experiment to try and cut corners if you are missing a few items but really need one specific thing. This list will also be excluding Technical Records because each of the recipes take rare items to make and players would be better off saving up Watts to purchase them or grind Max Raid Battles.
Cram-o-matic Recipes
Apricorn PokéBalls
While you can narrow down which PokéBalls you will get from using each type of Apricorn, the process is still randomized based on that small pool. For example, using only Black Apricorn could net you a Dusk Ball or Heavy Ball at an equal rate.
| Dominant Apricorn Color | Potential PokéBalls |
| Black | Dusk Ball, Heavy Ball, Luxury Ball |
| Blue | Dive Ball, Lure Ball, Net Ball |
| Green | Friend Ball, Nest Ball, Safari Ball |
| Pink | Heal Ball, Love Ball |
| Red | Level Ball, Repeat Ball |
| White | Fast Ball, Timer Ball |
| Yellow | Moon Ball, Quick Ball |
| Any | Poke Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, Sport Ball |
