27 Facts About EVERY Kind of Poké Ball That You Absolutely NEED to Know (Pokémon)

The dusk ball has always been such a game breaker for me; I’m almost 30. I’ve got stuff to do during the day. So a pokeball that works best at night, which is the only time I can play? Works like magic.

Fun fact. The Beast Ball is actually known as the Ultra Ball in Japanese since it's used to catch the "Ultra" Beasts. This also lines with the fact that the Ultra Ball is known as the Hyper Ball in Japanese.

One more thing about Pokeball types: The Beast Ball, although is very effective against Ultra Beasts, if you try to use it against a non-Ultra Beast Pokemon, it actually has a WORSE catch rate multiplier than the regular Pokeball's 1x catch rate modifier. Seriously, the Beast Ball being used on any non-Ultra Beast Pokemon is so unlikely to catch it, that you're nearly ensured to have it fail against Pokemon that are not Ultra Beasts. And yet, players use the Beast Ball to catch some Pokemon, for bragging rights, or just to have the Pokemon have a cool "send into battle" Ball animation

Fast Balls were how you caught the Legendary Beasts in Gen 2 right?

@@bookmew1081 Fast balls were intended to be for Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, but unfortunately due to an error in the programming in GSC their x4 catch rate actually only applies to Magnemite, Grimer, and Tangela. They're the first three Pokemon in the table of Pokemon with a 10% chance of fleeing instead of checking against all 3 tables (10% chance, 50% chance, and 100% chance.)

[@depotheose7890]

for roaming pokemon i like to use quick balls, since those are the only pokemon you can weaken and paralyse and still get the insane multiplier of the quick ball

[@giboit.]

I think that probably as far as lore goes, the premier ball (at least in the first game where it debuted) is technically a pokeball given to the player to commemorate the opening of the PokeMart (as their form of advertising). That´s why you receive the pokeball as part of a bonus for your purchase of 10 regular pokeballs. And in current times is more meant to be a pokeball that you can use to commemorate the encounter/capture of a pokemon that you find special on a personal level (your favorite pokemon, a shiny pokemon, etc).

[@pokegirl1799]

Giboit, I have a question for you that I encourage you to share the answer to: When a trainer Dynamaxes their Pokemon, what does the ball, infused with Galar Particles, look like before it is thrown? Here's a hint: it's white on both sides, with red around the center

Funfact about Great Ball/Ultra Ball: They were called Super Ball and Hyper Ball in the german translations in the beginning of the series, and that has remained so till today. I never knew our translation was closer to the japanese names all this time. Germany might be an exception to this tho, cause most european countries did not translate names or terms. According to a wiki, only Germany and France got their own translation for pokemon names, items etc (I was at a school exchange in France during the time of gen2 and remember the great ball being called "superballon" or something).

[@TamashiiTheGemini]

They actually call it Super Ball in most localisations (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, French, German) only the English one named it Great Ball, and the Italian for some reason decided to go for Mega Ball.

[@LRM12o8]

I'm glad we got the correct names for those! Generally I think the German localization was very well done, I think many German Pokémon names are actually cooler or more creative than the English ones. But what pisses me off to this day about the German versions is that they translated the move "Pound" as "Pfund", the old-fashioned unit of weight, instead of "Schlag", the noun corresponding to the verb "to pound" which it was meant to be! That had me mighty confused as a child, it makes no sense at all and they still haven't fixed it over 25 years later! 🤦‍♂️

[@bhull242]

I think the reason the original balls were Super and Hyper in the Japanese one was to coincide with Super and Hyper Potions and the Super Repel. You’d have the regular with no special name, the perfect/final one would start with an M (which would be Master for Poké Balls and Max for other items, excluding Full Restore and Full Heal), Super for the lesser or only middle upgrade (if any), and Hyper for the higher of the two middle upgrades (if there are two middle upgrades). Thus: Poké Ball, Super Ball, Hyper Ball, Master Ball (catching); Potion, Super Potion, Hyper Potion, Max Potion (heal only HP); Revive, Max Revive (recover from fainting and heal HP); Ether, Max Ether (heal PP for one move); Elixir, Max Elixir (heal PP for all moves); PP Up, PP Max (increase max PP for a move); Repel, Super Repel, Max Repel (avoid encounters with lower-leveled Pokémon); Lure, Super Lure, Max Lure (LGP/LGE only; increase encounters) There are the Rods (which go Old Rod, Good Rod, Super Rod rather than Old/Good Rod, Super Rod, Max/Master Rod or even Old/Good Rod, Super Rod, Hyper Rod), the Full Restore and Full Heal (which act pretty unusually as Full Restore heals HP and status effects and Full Heal heals status effects, so they don’t have upgrades), individual status effect healing items (which don’t have upgrades for the same reason), X items and the related Dire Hit (which just increase a stat and don’t have upgrades even though they could), Guard Spec. (which wouldn’t really have an upgrade), Rare Candy (just raises the level by one and doesn’t have an upgrade or lesser version, the Safari Ball (which is a special ball only used in a specific area), TMs and HMs (which wouldn’t make sense to be upgraded), and vitamins other than PP Up or PP Max (as they don’t have upgrades, nor would an upgrade make much sense), but other than those, all Gen 1 items that can be used regarding Pokémon follow this system, and of them, only the Rods are actually upgrades of any sort, and even then, there is Super for an upgrade and no Great. The use overseas of Great and Ultra for Pokéballs is actually pretty unusual when you think about it. Like, why did the Super and Hyper Balls’ names get localized to Great Ball and Ultra Ball, respectively, but the Super and Hyper Potions, the Super Repel, and the Super Rod kept their names in the international releases?

[@hhjan594]

A good guess, but it actually doesn't make sense when you look through its Japanese names. Potions and revives and ethers and elixirs actually don't follow this naming logic in Japanese. For Pokeballs in Japanese, they are called Monster Ball (モンスターボール), Super Ball (スーパーボール), Hyper Ball (ハイパーボール) and Master Ball (マスターボール). The Potions, on the other hand, are known as Potion (傷薬), Good Potion (いい傷薬), Excellent Potion (すごい傷薬) and Full heal Medicine(満タンの薬, because it fully heals your pokemon's HP.) Revives are known as Energetic shards (元気のかけら), Max revives are known as Energetic blocks (元気の塊). Ether is PP Aid (ピーピーエイド), Max Ether is PP Aider (ピーピーエイダー), Elixir is PP Recover (ピーピーリカバー), and Max Ether is actually called PP Max (ピーピーマックス). PP up is called Point Up (ポイントアップ), while PP Max is called Point Max (ポイントマックス). Repels also have another logic of namings. Repel is Bug Repel Spray (むしよけスプレー), but Super Repel and Max Repel ane known as Silver Spray (シルバースプレー) and Gold Spray (ゴールドスプレー) As a player that plays Pokemon in at least 3 kinds of language, I can very surely tell you that the localization is actually more logical than the original names. The names in Japanese will make sense in their language, but those items never kept their original names' "literal meanings" once localized into English, I would guess it's because in the 1990s localization was heavily put into the effort to make things sound more like something that you would hear in your own language, rather than the original language. Oh yeah, I forgot to say, the rods actually follow the same logic with the Potions. They are called Old Rod (ボロの釣竿), Good Rod (いいの釣竿) and Excellent Rod (すごい釣竿). I can explain more of the naming lore behind other different objects if you would like to know.

[@shadowtartaros2043]

Maybe because Great Potion and Ultra Potion sounds weird to heard

[@hhjan594]

@@shadowtartaros2043 I would believe that is pretty much the case. No matter which language, I would see the localize text or names be more fitting in their respective language. As long as the translation works, they consider more about how the people using the language feels about these names instead of keeping the original meaning around. This trend can easily be seen in a lot of moves and abilities, like the move Double Team was never translated into "Shadow Clone" despite it holds the same Japanese name as a very famous ninja move that Naruto likes to use. A lot more moves and abilities that tie more in Japanese culture also has this issue, the localizers care more about how this item or effect could be named more suitable in the proper language rather then the original meanings.

[@jedstanaland2897]

The dusk ball has up to ×8 catch rate if you're catching a dark,ghost,psychic pokemon at night and inside a cave or somewhere else dark. Also the quick ball still has a higher cath rate until turn three and and lastly you can get a higher catch rate for mythic and legendary pokemon its never going to beat some of the more interesting pokeballs but it is still better than your standard pokeballs.

The primier ball is also the 4th active ball in Pokemon Go, as all the Pokemon you capture from raids or rescue from Team Rocket are caught using them (from a pool determined by the results of the fight and player achievements) instead of the player's ball supply. Any unused ones are lost. So, if you see a legendary or mythical Pokemon in a trade via Pokemon Home or compatible games, it probably came from Go originally.

The Dusk Ball was introduced in Gen IV, not Gen III.

[@S0L3SURV1V0R]

Huge shoutout for using the clip of Chuggaconroy catching Groudon in the nest ball

[@stephenvaldez6147]

My favorite has always been the premier Ball and this the only ball I use for legendaries considering I only use regular pokeballs for everything else

[@tsaxbeats]

Surprised no one else in the comments use only regular pokeball I can’t stand seeing any Pokémon in any other ball

[@swampy7633]

I was looking away from the video during the section about nest balls and I still knew what was going on, Chuggaa is a damn legend for that catch

[@dychrisshandonsmith1242]

Ignore those who try to discourage you

[@bariumselenided5152]

I used to only ever use the dusk ball because I thought it’s opening animation was so cool. I do still like it, but unfortunately I’ve developed some weirdness where I need to have all my Pokémon in the same ball, which means I have to catch everything in vanilla poke balls cuz of the starter and early game. Which makes catching legendaries a bit more of a chore now lol

[@supersaiyansalamence]

What about the one that Mewtwo used to steal other trainers Pokémon in the movie?

[@krysal1489]

The video was covering pokeballs from the games. If you cover all pokeballs from the anime, there is more than just Mewtwo's pokeballs to cover.

[@deltaray3012]

My theory about the Premier Ball is that it was the original design for the modern pokeball. Literally being the "Premier" pokeball. The promotion is just a way to get trainers to buy in bulk, getting a free pokeball in its original design.

[@Audiatrix]

It makes so much sense that we call them super and hyper balls because it's the same with potions and not that it's important but It does match properly

[@Tucher97]

When you mention some odd subplot with the premier ball, I believe there is a subplot in white 2 where there is a biker who will trade you a great ball for a regular pokeball. I believe the biker bought up great balls, and exchanging them to other trainers so he can pain the regular pokemons into ultra balls and proceed to sell them back as ultraballs. I mean, regular pokeballs and ultra balls do not have much change to them in terms of decor like the great ball.

[@joeyteter9383]

Omg I’ve been searching to try and find out what kind of Poke balls my event shiny Zacian and Zamazenta came in because it looked awesome. But I forgot about it, until he brought up the cherish ball in this video. I’m so glad you did because it’s drove me crazy lol

[@lordnul1708]

11:12 using footage of ChuggaaConroy catching Groudon with a Nest Ball as he's saying that. Genius.

[@dychrisshandonsmith1242]

Thanks you for your video and channel

[@deltaflamestorm]

the quick ball is my favorite type of pokeball

[@michaelkennedy2888]

I might've missed it, but what about the GS ball?

[@jrg7777]

I actually caught Palkia in my original Pearl game with a Premier Ball. I consider it the special event in the description.

[@trainermimic]

My favourite has to be the Quick Ball. I feel like people don't like it but I think it looks awesome and it's by far the most useful ball to keep with you!

[@SuperDave1986]

This was an excellent video, love your Pokémon content. 👍

[@williamsramos4806]

The net ball works as a master ball when use agains surkit, and the cherish ball is not the only pokeball that can’t be use to catch a Pokémon, the GS ball is the other one.

[@MagentaNimbat]

funny how Beast Balls have both the best Catch Rate (aside from the Master Ball) and the worst Catch Rate at the same time

[@DanielZ5]

Premier ball is always my favorite loved trying to get as much of the pokedex as possible in Premier balls back in the day

[@slyfox7452]

The moon ball was also bugged as it originally helped you catch pokemon that evolved using burn heal

[@VGInterviews]

I want to use the pokeball with a pokeball design on it in order to catch a Voltorb

[@wehtawnikrap]

There is at least 1 more pokeball that I am aware of that was not mentioned. I am sure people would have mentioned it as they will never let Nintendo forget hte legendary GS Ball. For those that don't know the GS ball was introduced in gen 2 & was supposed to be a promotional thing alongside Celebi. The GS stands for Gold & Silver which are the gen 2 games. It was included in the anime with Professor Oak having no idea on how to open the darn thing & so gave it to Ash so he could give it to another professor.

[@TheWitheredSoul]

Dream ball would be a nice addition shame it was only used for catching Pokémon in the entrée forest in the gen 5 games. I'd love to have maybe a fairy type like Sylveon come out of a dream ball. Also my main go to ball I've got to say is either luxury ball or dusk ball. Mostly dusk ball and I mostly catch ghost types and dark types which I either catch in luxury balls or dusk balls

[@Chadsteryaah]

Just found your channel and I really enjoyed this video! I actually learned a lot of stuff I didn't know before. Thanks!

[@scottneulist9495]

My favourite ball is the Dark Ball from the Pokemon 4Ever movie, such a cool concept

[@DragonHeart53]

What I noticed from young Oak's pokeball, is that he's not just twisting a button on the top of it, but is actually attaching a red cap to the ball itself. which makes me think that instead of having many individual pokeballs, he only has the one pokeball, and the pokemon are contained in individual caps that attach to the ball. That sort of makes as an interesting precursor to the pokeballs physically shrinking in size. as depicted with modern pokeballs. Since the modern pokeballs as shown in the anime, shrink down to a similar size as those caps that Oak attaches to the main pokeball he uses. Oak using that pokeball would also itself be an advancement on the Pokeballs used in Legends Arceus, which are just made with apricorns and tumblestones and don't feature any method of shrinking down. So as far as pokeball advancement goes, it seems to start with pokeballs having the basic concept of each ball containing a pokemon. Followed by an advancement to use a single ball with swappable caps to make it easier to carry many more of them. And finally, the modern pokeball shrinking down, so that it returns to each ball containing one pokemon, but they take up significantly less space than having many balls at full size. And eliminates the reliance of a single "primary" ball.

[@Dad_Shoes]

I think there should have been a special mention with the Ultra Ball. In Ruby and Sapphire, the yellow and black colors were actually swapped with one-another. I've always preferred that look.

[@dracorexion]

Hi, I'm late, your video was just randomly recommended to me. So, as a person who works in retail, I can tell you right now that the premiere ball is literally called that as an incentive for customers to return to the Poke Mart. That's it. Most retail chains have, or had, specialty giveaways or other such gimmicks to entice customers to return. The most common is the "Buy One Get One" or BOGO promotion. A variant of this that a lot of stores do for small, cheaper items is "Buy 10 for $10" or "Buy 10 get 1 Free!" Essentially the Premiere ball is a regular item given a fancy name so it, and the customer who gets it, feels special. Another interesting little quirk about it is that you only get one per shopping spree. I.E. if you buy 20 Poke balls at once, you only get 1 premiere ball, but if you buy 10 Pokeballs, then buy another 10, you'll get 2 premiere balls. This is almost exactly how a lot of these specialty sales work too. So savvy customers will make sure to split their purchases so they get the most for their money.

[@llamasandanime]

My headcanon for the premiere ball is that they're celebrating the release of the master ball. In gen 1 and 2 it's a prototype, but by gen 3 it's out, it's just prohibitively expensive for you, a child, to purchase.

[@ahha6304]

Friend Ball makes the caught Pokémon more friendly only at first stance, but Luxury Ball multiplies the friendship rate of every caught Pokémon inside it, so technically Luxury Ball is more Friend Ball than Friend Ball

[@supahkoopah2919]

I enjoy using premier balls to catch my legendaries, whenever possible. Not only is it a flex, due to having the same catch rate as a regular poke ball, but it also looks nice imo. And gives me a reason to even buy them in bulk in the first place. Master ball is always reserved for roamers, only. Never use it on anything else, ever. Also 10:50 chuggaaconroy reference. Actually I think it’s literally just his clip.

[@ArcadianLegend]

Luxury Balls were very rare in Gen III, with one being found in RSE and XD. More can be repeatedly obtained, but only by winning Master Rank contests only after you've already obtained the ribbon for that rank in RSE, or by showing pokemon to the girl you rescue from the cave on Five Island in FRLG.
