How to get Lustrous Orb
Chests are Poke Balls you buy with PokeDollars during a run; each one costs more than the last. A paid Poke Ball lets you pick one of three items, Great Balls from challenge altars and guardians are free, and Meowth's shop sells four offers at a time. Legendary items are rare early in a run: their odds rise with your player level, your luck and the zone you are in, so luck and later zones help.
Lustrous Orb is one of the 35 items you must unlock: defeat 3 legendaries. Then buy it in the Lab for 2,800 Stardust. The PokeBonk Stardust guide lists the cheapest unlocks first.
