'''Roark''' (Japanese: '''ヒョウタ''' ''Hyouta'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Oreburgh City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Oreburgh Gym]]. He hands out the [[Badge#Coal Badge|Coal Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him. He specializes in {{t|Rock}}-type [[Pokémon]].

=In the anime=
Roark appears in the episodes between [[DP015]] and [[DP018]].

He battled [[Paul]] in his debut. In this battle, he showed his strong abilities (even beating [[Paul's Azumarill]] with his {{p|Geodude}}). However, his powerhouse, {{p|Cranidos}}, wasn't powerful enough to defeat [[Paul's Elekid]]. Because of this, Paul earned the [[Badge#Coal Badge|Coal Badge]] from the Leader.

Following his defeat at the hands of Paul, he battled and defeated [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]].

He used Cranidos to battle the prehistoric Pokémon unleashed in Oreburgh; during the conflict, Cranidos evolved into {{p|Rampardos}}.

He faced Ash again in a rematch. {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Geodude}} were defeated by {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Aipom}}. His powerhouse {{p|Rampardos}} battled against Ash's whole team and was defeated by {{p|Turtwig}}. Being the victor, Ash earned the Coal Badge.

Roark's Japanese voice actor is 我妻正崇 ''Masataka Azuma''.

*{{p|Onix}}
*{{p|Geodude}} (Seiyū: 三木眞一郎 ''[[Shin'ichirō Miki]]'')

=In the games=
[[Image:Oreburgh_City_Gym_--_Hyouta.png‎|thumb|left|[[Oreburgh City]] Gym]]His team is made up of all {{t|Rock}}-type Pokémon. After he is defeated, he will give the player the [[Badge#Coal Badge|Coal Badge]], [[TM76]] {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and the ability to use {{m|Rock Smash}} outside of battle. Roark lets the trainers of Oreburgh train in the Oreburgh mines. Despite his young age, he keeps the mine running safely and efficiently. Roark is the mine's safety supervisor, and is considered an expert in several fields. After losing, he feels embarrassed that his Cranidos lost to a trainer without any badges and cautions the protagonist that the following leaders are a lot tougher. Roark later appears in [[the Underground]], where he enjoys a variety of activities. He mentions them to the player upon their first visit to the Underground. Roark spent his childhood playing on [[Iron Island]].

==Quotes==
''"OK, stand back and watch this. Using the hidden move Rock Smash, a boulder blocking your way...'' (Boulder gets broken to pieces) ''Fallen boulders need to be smashed so they're out of the way. If you could get the Badge from the Gym in town, you'd be able to do this too. Of course, you'd have to beat the Gym Leader first. That'd be me!"''

''"Welcome! This is the Oreburgh Pokémon Gym! I'm Roark, the Gym Leader! I'm but one Trainer who decided to walk proudly with Rock-type Pokémon! As the Gym Leader, I need to see your potential as a trainer. And, I'll need to see the toughness of the Pokémon that battle with you!"''

''"Think you can take down the next Pokémon like you did earlier?"''

''"W-what? That can't be! My buffed-up Pokémon!"''

''"This is embarassing... I went and lost to a Trainer who didn't have a single Gym Badge... But that's tough. You were strong and I was weak. That's all there is. According to Pokémon League rules, I have to give you our Gym Badge since you've beaten me, the Leader. Here's your official Pokémon League Coal Badge."''

=In the Pokémon Special manga=
In [[Pokémon Special]]'s Diamond and Pearl saga, he owns a {{p|Cranidos}} which he uses in his battle against [[Berlitz]].

=Trivia=
*He is [[Byron]]'s son.
*Roark is the third [[Gym Leader]] encountered first in the region that uses {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon, the other two being [[Brock]] and [[Roxanne]].
*Roark is also the only Gym Leader who wears [[wp:glasses|eyeglasses]].

'''Sunyshore City''' (Japanese: '''ナギサシティ''' ''Nagisa City'') is a city in the [[region]] of [[Sinnoh]], and the location of the region's final [[Pokémon Gym]].

Other notable locations in this city are a lighthouse, an open-air market, and a path above it. The open air market sells [[seals]] to customize [[Poké Ball]]s.

Also notable is the ability to buy Luxury Balls here, a feat that is impossible during [[Generation III]].

[[Jasmine]], [[Olivine City]]'s [[Gym Leader]], waits here, and reveals a bit of information about the [[Johto]] region. She states that Sunyshore reminds her of home, because they both are by the sea, and both have a rather large lighthouse. After beating [[Volkner]], [[Jasmine]] will give the trainer HM07, which contains the move {{m|Waterfall}}. One can only get here after geting the 7th badge & beating Team Galactic in Velistone

'''Snowpoint City''' (Japanese: '''キッサキシティ''' ''Kissaki City'') is a city in the [[region]] of [[Sinnoh]]. Its temple is home to the legendary Pokémon {{p|Regigigas}}.

==Snowpoint Temple==
[[Image:Kissakitemple.JPG|left|thumb|250px|The basement of Snowpoint Temple, where Regigigas resides.]]
Although Snowpoint City is not home to much, a noticable landmark in the area is [[Snowpoint Temple]], which can only be accessed after the Sinnoh [[Elite Four]] have been beaten. The temple contains five floors, with odd bits of slippery ice. At the very bottom of the temple lies a dormant Regigigas. To awaken this legendary Pokémon, the player must bring all three of the [[legendary golems]] along with them, which are all only available in the [[Generation III]] games.

Because of the location of the temple within a city, Regigigas is only the third legendary Pokémon that can be caught within city limits, the other two being {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Suicune}} in [[Ecruteak City|Ecruteak]]'s [[Tin Tower]] during [[Generation II]].

==Geography==
Snowpoint is located in the far north of Sinnoh, where low temperatures have created an atmosphere of snow. Snowpoint City, and the two routes that lead to it ({{rt|216}} and {{rt|217}}) are completely covered in snow. To the northeast of Route 217, [[Lake Acuity]] can be found, a cave in which houses {{p|Uxie}}. Being that the snow, which affects every battle on the two routes leading to the city, as well as the fact that to get to {{rt|216}} from the rest of Sinnoh one must pass through [[Mt. Coronet]], the most convenient way to get to the city is to {{m|Fly}}.

'''Canalave City''' (Japanese: '''ミオシティ''' ''Mio City'') is a city in the [[region]] of [[Sinnoh]]. The city's name maybe a portmanteau of the words "canal" and "wave", in accordance to the harbor-city being composed of street canals and the city being distant to open ocean, therefore implying the idea of ocean waves.

Held item

A '''held item''' is an [[item]] held by [[Pokémon]] on direction from their [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]]. This capability was first introduced in [[Generation II]], though the thought of held items may extend as far back as [[Pokémon Yellow]], where many {{p|Farfetch'd}} and s{{p|Kadabra}}, upon trading to a [[Generation II]] game, are revealed to have held items, a Stick and a Twisted Spoon, respectively. Held items range from [[Berries]] that can be used in battle to recover to items that can be used to enhance the power of certain moves. Most other items may be held as well, such as [[Poké Ball]]s and [[Revive]]s.

The following is a list of items made solely to be held items, grouped by purpose and listed in alphabetical order.

:''This list is incomplete. You can help by expanding it.''

==Type enhancing items==
These items, when held, will enhance the potency of attacks that correspond to the item by 10%. For example, if a Pokémon holds Mystic Water and uses a {{t|Water}}-[[type]] attack, the power of the Water-type attack will be increased by 10%.

If these items are sold, [[Poké Mart]]s will pay [[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]]50 for them with the exception of Charcoal, for which Poké Marts will pay [[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]]4,900 for.

In [[Generation II]], several of these items can only be obtained from the [[Weekday Siblings]].

Pal Park allows people that have both the [[Generation III]] and Generation IV games to transfer Pokémon ahead via the [[Nintendo DS]]'s [[Game Boy Advance]] slot. However, only six Pokémon per day can be transferred per GBA cartridge, and no Pokémon can be transferred until the previous six Pokémon have been caught.

The park uses a special [[Poké Ball]] that has a 100% capture rate, however, in order to capture the Pokémon transferred, players must first ''find'' it.

Unlike in [[Generation II]], where the [[Time Capsule]] allowed Pokémon to return to [[Generation I]], the transfer from [[Generation III]] to [[Generation IV]] is ''permanent'', and all Pokémon sent over are ''removed'' from the GBA games.

Darkphantom:

Please categorize all articles you make. Additionally, fit articles to their project page. {{m|Seed Flare}} should look something like {{m|Vine Whip}}.

Also, please consolidate your edits, and use the preview button. It reduces load on the server. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:41, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry

No, no, it's okay. Just remember to do it next time, all right? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 01:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

== Templates ==

[[Bulbapedia:Project Routes]] should go over all of the templates you need. Reading that article should let you know how to use the templates, too. From your contribs it looks like you might be interested in [[Bulbapedia:Project Cities and Towns]], too. [[User:Drapion|Drapion]] 21:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

== Link templates ==

Try to use them, okay? It helps so that the correct pages are linked: [[Bug]] may simply redirect to {{t|Bug}}, but [[Fighting]] is a disambiguation for {{t|Fighting}} and {{TCG|Fighting}}, which are pretty different.

I noticed you used them on the Pokémon, so that's good. Just make sure to use them for every purpose they exist for, ie, [[Template:T|type]], [[Template:rt|routes]], [[Template:M|moves]], and so on. And be on the lookout, some, like types and routes have two of them. For example, {{template|rt}} makes the link to {{rt|123}} as "Route 123", while {{template|rtn}} makes it as just the number. Likewise, {{template|t}} makes "{{t|Bug}}", but {{template|type2}} makes "{{type2|Bug}}" appear.

Just don't get down because I'm telling you this. It's a wiki, it's in the past, we can fix it. That's the wonder of Web 2.0.

And try not to talk directly to readers, too. Use "the player" or "trainers" or other such words. It makes things look better, overall. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 22:41, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay. So these are called links? I read the manual on how to start, but its still pretty confusing. Thanks for the help. I will be sure to remember that. Oh, and are there some things that have higher priority than others? Because if theres something more important than me doing the routes or towns, then i can do it.

Nah, they're link templates: templates that create links, as opposed to infobox templates, which make infoboxes (like {{Template|RouteInfo}}), or navbox templates, which make navboxes (like {{Template|Sinnoh}}). You can find the different link templates [[:Category:Link templates|here]], the infoboxes [[:Category:Infobox templates|here]], and the navbox templates [[:Category:Navigation templates|here]].

And believe me, we need those route/town/location articles. You're doing a pretty damn good job on them, too, though they'll certainly need to be expanded eventually. They will, though, in time, once everyone has DP.

Oh, and you oughta sign your name when leaving comments on talk pages, so everyone knows who made the comment. Just put four tildes (that's <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) and it'll appear as your username, or whatever else you've put in the signature box on your preferences page. And if you're looking to get some sort of interesting design to it, well, just gimme a heads-up on my own talk page and I'll be glad to help you out, or you could IM me or something. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 01:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for all the help. Right now, all I'm doing is putting in the pokemon that you can find there and other stuff. Nothing major! At least, thats a start. [[User:Darkphantom|Darkphantom]] 10:44, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

== Pokémon availability on routes ==

Could you not put their types, most especially in just the plain old double brackets? Look what [[Psychic]] links to.

If you want to put the Pokémon's type, use the {{template|t}} template, so that you can make ANY of the seventeen types link right to the type. {{t|Psychic}}. That way you don't get someone who is looking for the type going after the {{m|Psychic}} move. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 21:29, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Darkphantom: Catogorize and Templates

Welcome! I am an avid Wikipedia contributor and have always enjoyed Pokemon. When I found out that there was an entire encyclopedia devoted to Pokemon, I was ecstatic! Here is what is on my mind:

*I need help on the [[Trainer Card]] page. It does not meet standards and is lacking information. I would like to also add a list of Trainer Cards to the page as well.

*Does anyone have information on the move [[Aqua Ring (move)|Aqua Ring]]? The page that I created has barely anything on it and I'm afraid that if it does not get more information, it will be deleted. Can Project MoveDex help?

Any and all help appreciated.

Just to tell you, only admins can delete pages. [[User:Carnivine|Carnivine]]

== Catogorize and Templates ==

Poké Ball

2007-04-04T19:48:17Z

Darkphantom: /* In the games */

[[Image:Pokeball.jpg|frame|right|A Poké Ball]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: モンスターボール ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[Items|item]] critical in any [[Pokémon trainer|trainer's]] quest. It is used for [[Captured Pokémon|capturing]] and storing [[wild Pokémon]]; a trainer may carry as many Poké Balls and ball variants as they desire. However, a trainer may only carry up to 6 [[Pokémon]] at a time in their [[party]]. Therefore, if a trainer owns more than 6 Pokémon, they may be stored in [[Bill's PC|a Pokémon storage system]], and withdrawn or deposited at any [[Pokémon Center]]. There are 4 different basic levels of Poké Ball, and over a dozen variations on the Poké Ball design throughout the games.

A Poké Ball's strength is determined by how much it raises a wild Pokémon's [[catch rate]]. Many Poké Balls' strengths change based on certain conditions.

=Mechanics=
[[Image:Open PokeBall.gif|frame|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime.]]
Though the technology behind the workings of a Poké Ball remains unknown, the basic mechanics are fairly simple to understand. In a [[Pokémon battle|battle]], once the opposing [[wild Pokémon]] has been weakened, the [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] will throw a Poké Ball at it. Assuming the Poké Ball hits it and is not dodged or hit back to the trainer, the Poké Ball will open, convert the wild Pokémon to an energy form, pull the energy into its hollow center, and then close. The wild Pokémon will then be given the chance to struggle to try and escape the Poké Ball. If it escapes, in the anime, the Poké Ball flies back towards the trainer, while in the games, the Poké Ball bursts open and cannot be reused. If it does not escape, the wild Pokémon will be [[Captured Pokémon|captured]].

As seen in anime episodes like ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'', normal Poké Balls have difficulty capturing extremely large and heavy Pokémon, to the point that the Pokémon will not even be taken entirely into the Poké Ball. The latter of these episodes shows how ancient civilizations overcame this issue: to capture and hold a very large Pokémon, they constructed a very large Poké Ball out of stone. However, giant stone Poké Balls are nearly impossible to use, so with the advancement of technology a better solution came in the form of Heavy Balls.

Besides capturing new Pokémon, Poké Balls are also used to store captured Pokémon. A trainer can have six Poké Balls with Pokémon in them at one time. When starting a battle, he can throw out one or more of these onto the battlefield, and it will open, releasing their Pokémon quickly. When a trainer wants to recall their Pokémon, they simply hold up the Poké Ball and points it at their Pokémon, and a beam will come from the Poké Ball's button, converting the Pokémon into energy again and drawing it back in. Also, some Pokémon know how to enter and leave their Poké Balls at will.

Poké Balls are not always at full size. Tapping the button on the front can convert it from full size, about the same size as a [[wp:Baseball (object)|baseball]], to a miniature size, about the same size as a [[wp:Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball]]. This smaller size is more useful for storage, being small enough to carry in pockets or on belts.

Poké Balls presumably can communicate with a trainer's [[Pokédex]], since the system updates itself with new captured Pokémon information, and keeps track of how many full Poké Balls the trainer has on-hand. If the trainer catches a new Pokémon while their team of six is full, it will be transported to the [[Pokémon storage system]] they are using.

* {{fnb|1}} Master Balls always catch the wild Pokémon.
|}

These Poké Balls were first introduced in Generation I and have appeared in each game since, with the exception of the Safari Ball which did not appear in the second Generation of games.

The Poké Ball is considered the most basic and universal form of Ball. Nearly every [[Poké Mart]] carries it or one of its two upgrades, the Great Ball and Ultra Ball. The only known place where these three Balls are not plentiful is [[Orre]], due to its lack of wild Pokémon. With the discovery of [[PokéSpot|PokéSpots]], however, they are becoming more commonly available in this region as well.

The Master Ball is the final and best upgrade of the Poké Ball, as well as the most rare. It was developed by [[Silph Co.]], but only a few were created before [[Team Rocket]] invaded and the project was discontinued. Master Balls are now given only to esteemed Pokémon researchers. Because of this, only one can be found in each game (except in [[Generation II]], where it is the grand prize for the Lucky Number show). It could be sold for [[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]]0 in Generation II, but in later Generations the Poké Marts would refuse it.

The Safari Ball is the only one of the original Poké Ball forms that is not considered one of the basic Poké Ball types. When playing a game in the [[Safari Zone]], thirty of these will be provided to capture Pokémon with. If the game ends before all thirty are used, the remainder are returned when leaving the Safari Zone. It is as strong as a Great Ball, but catching Pokémon is often more difficult with it due to the fact that there are no formal [[Pokémon battle|battle]]s with Pokémon in the Safari Zone.
 

====Super Smash Brothers====
Normal Poké Balls are also an item in the ''[[Super Smash Brothers]]'' series. When thrown, on top of doing a small amount of damage to any opposing character they may hit, they release a randomly selected Pokémon. The most common is Magikarp, which does nothing.

===In the anime===

Beyond any doubt, the original Poké Ball is the most commonly used type of Ball in the anime. The vast majority of Pokémon are stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variations among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], which spends all of its time out of its Poké Ball, is shown to have a regular Poké Ball with a little lightning bolt drawn on it in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]''. On the other hand, the Great Ball and Ultra Ball upgrades are not seen at all.

A Master Ball has been seen in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''. It was used by [[Sullivan]] in his attempt to capture a {{p|Whiscash}}. However, despite the fact that the Master Ball cannot be escaped from, he did not catch the Whiscash; instead, the Pokémon swallowed it whole.

Safari Balls were seen in ''[[EP035|The Legend of Dratini]]''. In this episode, [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] received thirty with which he could capture Safari Zone Pokémon. However, despite his best efforts to catch other Pokémon, he ended up using all thirty to capture a herd of [[Ash's Tauros|Tauros]].

[[Image:Custom Balls.jpg|thumb|Three of [[Kurt]]'s Custom Poké Balls]]
The Park Ball is much like the Safari Ball absent in the Generation II games, including being equal to a Great Ball in strength. It is used in the [[National Park]] during their [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. Thirty Park Balls are provided for this, and the Pokémon can be battled before they are captured. However, while all thirty balls can be used and catch Pokémon before the contest ends, only one Pokémon can be kept for the contest judging.

Most of the Poké Balls available in Generation II, however, are the custom Poké Balls crafted by [[Kurt]]. This Poké Ball expert can be found in [[Azalea Town]], and once per day he will craft an [[Apricorn]] into a special Poké Ball based on its color. Because of the much larger variety of Poké Balls available, Generation II was the first generation to introduce a [[bag]] with a separate pocket for Poké Balls.
 

===In the anime===
In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', Ash and [[Casey]] compete in the Bug-Catching Contest and use Park Balls to capture {{t|Bug}} Pokémon. Ash wins the contest with a [[Casey's Beedrill|Beedrill]], but gives it to Casey instead.

The custom Apricorn Poké Balls were seen and used a few times during the anime. In ''[[EP143|Goin' Apricorn]]'', Ash, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] receive Fast Balls from Kurt, and by the end of the episode Brock uses his to capture a [[Brock's Forretress|Pineco]]. By the end of the next episode, ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Ash and Misty receive Lure Balls, and Brock receives a Heavy Ball. In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', both Ash and Misty tried to capture a [[Ash's Totodile|Totodile]] with their Lure Balls, with Ash succeeding. Later, in ''[[EP213|A Corsola Caper]]'', Misty got a second chance to use her Lure Ball, capturing a [[Misty's Corsola|Corsola]] with it. The other two Fast Balls and the Heavy Ball were not seen or mentioned again, but a different Heavy Ball was used in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down!]]'' to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}.

All of the third generation Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].

The Luxury Ball is rare, second only to the Master Ball. One can be found on the [[Abandoned Ship]], and others can be obtained from winning [[Pokémon Contests]]. It heightens the rate at which the [[Happiness]] of the Pokémon captured with it increases.

The Premier Ball is given with every purchase of ten Poké Balls in [[Hoenn]] Poké Marts. However, it is not different from regular Poké Balls in any manner except appearance.

The Net Ball and Dive Ball can only be purchased at the Poké Mart in [[Mossdeep City]]. This is likely due to the city's high affiliation with the {{t|Water}} type.

The Nest Ball can only be purchased at the Poké Mart in [[Verdanturf Town]].

The Repeat Ball and Timer Ball can be purchased in [[Rustboro City]] after defeating the [[Elite Four]].

All Poké Balls released in [[Generation I]] are available as well.
 

==[[Generation IV]] Poké Balls==

Five new Poké Balls were introduced in the Generation IV games.

==Other Poké Balls==
These Poké Balls are found outside of the standard games. They are often too unusual to fit in with other groups of Poké Balls, and some are so unusual that it is questionable if they even qualify as Poké Balls. Most of these have separate articles, which describe their unique properties in greater detail.

===In the games===
; [[Pester Ball|Pester Balls]]
: Seen in [[Pokémon Snap]], this unusual Poké Ball cannot catch Pokémon. Instead, it releases an irritating gas.

; [[GS Ball]]
: Seen in [[Pokémon Crystal]], this Poké Ball cannot catch Pokémon. Instead, it is a special item that can be used to make {{p|Celebi}} appear in the [[Ilex Forest]].

; [[Snag Ball|Snag Balls]]
: Though not a Poké Ball in its own right, this is seen in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. It is a ball that has been modified using the [[Snag Machine]]. It is capable of [[snagging]] a [[captured Pokémon]] during a [[Pokémon battle]] as if it were wild.

===In the anime===
; Pre-Poké Ball Objects
: There are multiple artifacts and antiques which have similar properties to modern Poké Balls but are not technically the same thing - some, in fact, are not even balls. These range from unusual artifacts found in the ancient city of [[Pokémopolis]] which contain [[Giant Pokémon]] inside (seen in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'') to antique Poké Balls which look similar to their modern-day equivalents but have an altered design and are made from a more fragile material (seen in ''[[EP232|Just Waiting on a Friend]]''). Given that these were made before the development of the technology used in modern Poké Balls, the workings behind these objects are a mystery. Another early Poké Ball design is seen in [[Pokémon 4Ever]] when [[Professor Oak|Sammy]] uses a Poké Ball brought from his own time with a lock on its button to call out his {{p|Charmeleon}}. This model seems to be much closer to the modern design.

; Solid Gold Poké Balls
: There are not actually any solid gold Poké Balls in the Pokémon world. However, the idea is often used to fool greedy criminals like [[Brodie]] in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' or gullible consumers like [[James]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.

; [[Mewtwo Ball|Mewtwo Balls]]
: Official name unknown. Marked by an eerie eye incorporated into their design, these Poké Balls were created and used by [[Mewtwo (anime)|Mewtwo]] in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. They can be moved around easily with Mewtwo's {{t|Psychic}} powers, and they can capture any Pokémon, including those which are already inside other Poké Balls. Mewtwo used these to gather Pokémon to be cloned.

; [[GS Ball]]
: This was in the possession of [[Professor Ivy]], who gave it to [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], who in turn gave it to [[Kurt]] to study. Despite this, its purpose is completely unknown, since it was never mentioned again after being given to Kurt, and has most likely been forgotten. There is a large amount of fan speculation as to what purpose it holds.

; [[Dark Ball|Dark Balls]]
: These were used by [[Vicious]] in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''. Presumably technology of [[Team Rocket]], these Poké Balls will take over the mind of any Pokémon caught by them, making them turn into mindless servants of whoever caught them. These were used to capture multiple Pokémon, including {{p|Celebi}}.

===In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]]===
; Dual Ball
: This ball is found in both {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} ({{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Dual Ball|72}}) and {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} ({{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Dual Ball|89}}).

; {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}}

Poké Ball

2007-04-04T19:47:28Z

Darkphantom: /* In the games */

[[Image:Pokeball.jpg|frame|right|A Poké Ball]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: モンスターボール ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[Items|item]] critical in any [[Pokémon trainer|trainer's]] quest. It is used for [[Captured Pokémon|capturing]] and storing [[wild Pokémon]]; a trainer may carry as many Poké Balls and ball variants as they desire. However, a trainer may only carry up to 6 [[Pokémon]] at a time in their [[party]]. Therefore, if a trainer owns more than 6 Pokémon, they may be stored in [[Bill's PC|a Pokémon storage system]], and withdrawn or deposited at any [[Pokémon Center]]. There are 4 different basic levels of Poké Ball, and over a dozen variations on the Poké Ball design throughout the games.

A Poké Ball's strength is determined by how much it raises a wild Pokémon's [[catch rate]]. Many Poké Balls' strengths change based on certain conditions.

=Mechanics=
[[Image:Open PokeBall.gif|frame|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime.]]
Though the technology behind the workings of a Poké Ball remains unknown, the basic mechanics are fairly simple to understand. In a [[Pokémon battle|battle]], once the opposing [[wild Pokémon]] has been weakened, the [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] will throw a Poké Ball at it. Assuming the Poké Ball hits it and is not dodged or hit back to the trainer, the Poké Ball will open, convert the wild Pokémon to an energy form, pull the energy into its hollow center, and then close. The wild Pokémon will then be given the chance to struggle to try and escape the Poké Ball. If it escapes, in the anime, the Poké Ball flies back towards the trainer, while in the games, the Poké Ball bursts open and cannot be reused. If it does not escape, the wild Pokémon will be [[Captured Pokémon|captured]].

As seen in anime episodes like ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'', normal Poké Balls have difficulty capturing extremely large and heavy Pokémon, to the point that the Pokémon will not even be taken entirely into the Poké Ball. The latter of these episodes shows how ancient civilizations overcame this issue: to capture and hold a very large Pokémon, they constructed a very large Poké Ball out of stone. However, giant stone Poké Balls are nearly impossible to use, so with the advancement of technology a better solution came in the form of Heavy Balls.

Besides capturing new Pokémon, Poké Balls are also used to store captured Pokémon. A trainer can have six Poké Balls with Pokémon in them at one time. When starting a battle, he can throw out one or more of these onto the battlefield, and it will open, releasing their Pokémon quickly. When a trainer wants to recall their Pokémon, they simply hold up the Poké Ball and points it at their Pokémon, and a beam will come from the Poké Ball's button, converting the Pokémon into energy again and drawing it back in. Also, some Pokémon know how to enter and leave their Poké Balls at will.

Poké Balls are not always at full size. Tapping the button on the front can convert it from full size, about the same size as a [[wp:Baseball (object)|baseball]], to a miniature size, about the same size as a [[wp:Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball]]. This smaller size is more useful for storage, being small enough to carry in pockets or on belts.

Poké Balls presumably can communicate with a trainer's [[Pokédex]], since the system updates itself with new captured Pokémon information, and keeps track of how many full Poké Balls the trainer has on-hand. If the trainer catches a new Pokémon while their team of six is full, it will be transported to the [[Pokémon storage system]] they are using.

* {{fnb|1}} Master Balls always catch the wild Pokémon.
|}

These Poké Balls were first introduced in Generation I and have appeared in each game since, with the exception of the Safari Ball which did not appear in the second Generation of games.

The Poké Ball is considered the most basic and universal form of Ball. Nearly every [[Poké Mart]] carries it or one of its two upgrades, the Great Ball and Ultra Ball. The only known place where these three Balls are not plentiful is [[Orre]], due to its lack of wild Pokémon. With the discovery of [[PokéSpot|PokéSpots]], however, they are becoming more commonly available in this region as well.

The Master Ball is the final and best upgrade of the Poké Ball, as well as the most rare. It was developed by [[Silph Co.]], but only a few were created before [[Team Rocket]] invaded and the project was discontinued. Master Balls are now given only to esteemed Pokémon researchers. Because of this, only one can be found in each game (except in [[Generation II]], where it is the grand prize for the Lucky Number show). It could be sold for [[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]]0 in Generation II, but in later Generations the Poké Marts would refuse it.

The Safari Ball is the only one of the original Poké Ball forms that is not considered one of the basic Poké Ball types. When playing a game in the [[Safari Zone]], thirty of these will be provided to capture Pokémon with. If the game ends before all thirty are used, the remainder are returned when leaving the Safari Zone. It is as strong as a Great Ball, but catching Pokémon is often more difficult with it due to the fact that there are no formal [[Pokémon battle|battle]]s with Pokémon in the Safari Zone.
 

====Super Smash Brothers====
Normal Poké Balls are also an item in the ''[[Super Smash Brothers]]'' series. When thrown, on top of doing a small amount of damage to any opposing character they may hit, they release a randomly selected Pokémon. The most common is Magikarp, which does nothing.

===In the anime===

Beyond any doubt, the original Poké Ball is the most commonly used type of Ball in the anime. The vast majority of Pokémon are stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variations among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], which spends all of its time out of its Poké Ball, is shown to have a regular Poké Ball with a little lightning bolt drawn on it in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]''. On the other hand, the Great Ball and Ultra Ball upgrades are not seen at all.

A Master Ball has been seen in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''. It was used by [[Sullivan]] in his attempt to capture a {{p|Whiscash}}. However, despite the fact that the Master Ball cannot be escaped from, he did not catch the Whiscash; instead, the Pokémon swallowed it whole.

Safari Balls were seen in ''[[EP035|The Legend of Dratini]]''. In this episode, [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] received thirty with which he could capture Safari Zone Pokémon. However, despite his best efforts to catch other Pokémon, he ended up using all thirty to capture a herd of [[Ash's Tauros|Tauros]].

|}
[[Image:Custom Balls.jpg|thumb|Three of [[Kurt]]'s Custom Poké Balls]]
The Park Ball is much like the Safari Ball absent in the Generation II games, including being equal to a Great Ball in strength. It is used in the [[National Park]] during their [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. Thirty Park Balls are provided for this, and the Pokémon can be battled before they are captured. However, while all thirty balls can be used and catch Pokémon before the contest ends, only one Pokémon can be kept for the contest judging.

Most of the Poké Balls available in Generation II, however, are the custom Poké Balls crafted by [[Kurt]]. This Poké Ball expert can be found in [[Azalea Town]], and once per day he will craft an [[Apricorn]] into a special Poké Ball based on its color. Because of the much larger variety of Poké Balls available, Generation II was the first generation to introduce a [[bag]] with a separate pocket for Poké Balls.
 

===In the anime===
In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', Ash and [[Casey]] compete in the Bug-Catching Contest and use Park Balls to capture {{t|Bug}} Pokémon. Ash wins the contest with a [[Casey's Beedrill|Beedrill]], but gives it to Casey instead.

The custom Apricorn Poké Balls were seen and used a few times during the anime. In ''[[EP143|Goin' Apricorn]]'', Ash, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] receive Fast Balls from Kurt, and by the end of the episode Brock uses his to capture a [[Brock's Forretress|Pineco]]. By the end of the next episode, ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Ash and Misty receive Lure Balls, and Brock receives a Heavy Ball. In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', both Ash and Misty tried to capture a [[Ash's Totodile|Totodile]] with their Lure Balls, with Ash succeeding. Later, in ''[[EP213|A Corsola Caper]]'', Misty got a second chance to use her Lure Ball, capturing a [[Misty's Corsola|Corsola]] with it. The other two Fast Balls and the Heavy Ball were not seen or mentioned again, but a different Heavy Ball was used in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down!]]'' to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}.

All of the third generation Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].

The Luxury Ball is rare, second only to the Master Ball. One can be found on the [[Abandoned Ship]], and others can be obtained from winning [[Pokémon Contests]]. It heightens the rate at which the [[Happiness]] of the Pokémon captured with it increases.

The Premier Ball is given with every purchase of ten Poké Balls in [[Hoenn]] Poké Marts. However, it is not different from regular Poké Balls in any manner except appearance.

The Net Ball and Dive Ball can only be purchased at the Poké Mart in [[Mossdeep City]]. This is likely due to the city's high affiliation with the {{t|Water}} type.

The Nest Ball can only be purchased at the Poké Mart in [[Verdanturf Town]].

The Repeat Ball and Timer Ball can be purchased in [[Rustboro City]] after defeating the [[Elite Four]].

All Poké Balls released in [[Generation I]] are available as well.
 

==[[Generation IV]] Poké Balls==
===In the games===
Five new Poké Balls were introduced in the Generation IV games.

Pokéradar?

Isn't that just one of the many functions? One of the... well, more minor functions? I haven't seen anything calling it the Pokéradar... And it looks like a watch anyway, why would it be radar? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 11:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[[Image:Watch_female.jpg|right|Pokétch for females]]
The '''Pokémon Watch''', '''Pokétch''' for short, is the navigational item present in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], much like the [[PokéGear]] and [[PokéNav]] before it.

The Pokétch has 22 functions, including a map of [[Sinnoh]] like its counterparts did for [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]]. It also has many functions that are not available at the start but can be recieved at a later time, and a few that must be obtained by showing a certain species of Pokémon to another character.

==Functions==
===Watch===
As its most basic feature, the Pokétch will display the time of day, much like the PokéGear of [[Johto]] had, only this time running in 24-hour format, instead of 12-hour AM/PM format. It runs off of the [[Nintendo DS]]'s internal clock, and through this, can keep track of the date of a Pokémon's capture as well as the time of day. There are two different watch functions, one [[wp:analog clock|analog]] and one [[wp:digital clock|digital]], though only the digital version is available from the beginning.

===[[Type]] matchup chart===
This function will allow a trainer to choose the type of attack and the type(s) of the opponent Pokémon to determine whether a move is super effective, normal, not very effective, or ineffective against an opponent.

===Breeding center monitor===
Unlike previous generations, where trainers would need to stick around the breeding centers to make sure that they got their [[Pokémon egg]] as soon as it was ready, the Pokétch allows trainers to see the levels, genders, and species of the Pokémon located in the center, and will show whether or not an egg has yet been produced.

===Calculator===
The Pokétch also has a basic calculator, with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division functions usable. It is able to display up to ten digits.

===Step counter===
This device allows trainers to count the amount of steps taken, a value that often determines things, such as out-of-battle poison damage, egg hatching, and Safari Zone excursions. It is also instrumental in obtaining the [[Surf glitch]].

===Drawing pad===
A notepad for trainers to use as they walk the field, for writing notes on the area or notes on which Pokémon to get to beat the next gym.

===[[Party]] status===
This shows the most basic stats of the Pokémon that the trainer has with them: HP level, species, and whether or not they are holding an item.

===Party [[tameness]]===
Shows the tameness of the various Pokémon in the party.

==={{i|Itemfinder}}===
Finds items located on the top screen of the DS when touched.

===[[Berry]] map===
A map of [[Sinnoh]] showing where mature berry trees are located in the region.

===Recently-obtained Pokémon===
Shows the twelve most recent Pokémon captured, evolved, hatched, or traded into the game.

===Counter===
Counts anything players choose to; upon press of the bottom screen, the number goes up by one.

===Map of [[Sinnoh]]===
The version of the {{i|Town Map}} for the Sinnoh region. Allows players to place different markings on locations to show them as destinations, as well as the locations of the two Pokémon that travel around Sinnoh, {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Mesprit}}, much like {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Suicune}} travelled [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] and {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} travelled [[Hoenn]].

===Wireless activities===
Allows interaction with other players using the functions nearby.

===Coin flip===
Players can flip a coin.

===Pokéradar===
Shows the three longest streaks of Pokémon seen by the player.

===Calendar===
Shows the current month and day.

===Drawing/puzzle board===
Strange scratch-off/doodle board.

===Roulette===
Spins. Start and stop are controlled by the player.

===Egg timer===
Timer with an alarm.

===Color modifier===
Changes background color of the Pokétch.

Poké Ball

2007-04-03T22:06:15Z

Darkphantom: /* In the games */

[[Image:Pokeball.jpg|frame|right|A Poké Ball]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: モンスターボール ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[Items|item]] critical in any [[Pokémon trainer|trainer's]] quest. It is used for [[Captured Pokémon|capturing]] and storing [[wild Pokémon]]; a trainer may carry as many Poké Balls and ball variants as they desire. However, a trainer may only carry up to 6 [[Pokémon]] at a time in their [[party]]. Therefore, if a trainer owns more than 6 Pokémon, they may be stored in [[Bill's PC|a Pokémon storage system]], and withdrawn or deposited at any [[Pokémon Center]]. There are 4 different basic levels of Poké Ball, and over a dozen variations on the Poké Ball design throughout the games.

A Poké Ball's strength is determined by how much it raises a wild Pokémon's [[catch rate]]. Many Poké Balls' strengths change based on certain conditions.

=Mechanics=
[[Image:Open PokeBall.gif|frame|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime.]]
Though the technology behind the workings of a Poké Ball remains unknown, the basic mechanics are fairly simple to understand. In a [[Pokémon battle|battle]], once the opposing [[wild Pokémon]] has been weakened, the [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] will throw a Poké Ball at it. Assuming the Poké Ball hits it and is not dodged or hit back to the trainer, the Poké Ball will open, convert the wild Pokémon to an energy form, pull the energy into its hollow center, and then close. The wild Pokémon will then be given the chance to struggle to try and escape the Poké Ball. If it escapes, in the anime, the Poké Ball flies back towards the trainer, while in the games, the Poké Ball bursts open and cannot be reused. If it does not escape, the wild Pokémon will be [[Captured Pokémon|captured]].

As seen in anime episodes like ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'', normal Poké Balls have difficulty capturing extremely large and heavy Pokémon, to the point that the Pokémon will not even be taken entirely into the Poké Ball. The latter of these episodes shows how ancient civilizations overcame this issue: to capture and hold a very large Pokémon, they constructed a very large Poké Ball out of stone. However, giant stone Poké Balls are nearly impossible to use, so with the advancement of technology a better solution came in the form of Heavy Balls.

Besides capturing new Pokémon, Poké Balls are also used to store captured Pokémon. A trainer can have six Poké Balls with Pokémon in them at one time. When starting a battle, he can throw out one or more of these onto the battlefield, and it will open, releasing their Pokémon quickly. When a trainer wants to recall their Pokémon, they simply hold up the Poké Ball and points it at their Pokémon, and a beam will come from the Poké Ball's button, converting the Pokémon into energy again and drawing it back in. Also, some Pokémon know how to enter and leave their Poké Balls at will.

Poké Balls are not always at full size. Tapping the button on the front can convert it from full size, about the same size as a [[wp:Baseball (object)|baseball]], to a miniature size, about the same size as a [[wp:Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball]]. This smaller size is more useful for storage, being small enough to carry in pockets or on belts.

Poké Balls presumably can communicate with a trainer's [[Pokédex]], since the system updates itself with new captured Pokémon information, and keeps track of how many full Poké Balls the trainer has on-hand. If the trainer catches a new Pokémon while their team of six is full, it will be transported to the [[Pokémon storage system]] they are using.

* {{fnb|1}} Master Balls always catch the wild Pokémon.
|}

These Poké Balls were first introduced in Generation I and have appeared in each game since, with the exception of the Safari Ball which did not appear in the second Generation of games.

The Poké Ball is considered the most basic and universal form of Ball. Nearly every [[Poké Mart]] carries it or one of its two upgrades, the Great Ball and Ultra Ball. The only known place where these three Balls are not plentiful is [[Orre]], due to its lack of wild Pokémon. With the discovery of [[PokéSpot|PokéSpots]], however, they are becoming more commonly available in this region as well.

The Master Ball is the final and best upgrade of the Poké Ball, as well as the most rare. It was developed by [[Silph Co.]], but only a few were created before [[Team Rocket]] invaded and the project was discontinued. Master Balls are now given only to esteemed Pokémon researchers. Because of this, only one can be found in each game (except in [[Generation II]], where it is the grand prize for the Lucky Number show). It could be sold for [[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]]0 in Generation II, but in later Generations the Poké Marts would refuse it.

The Safari Ball is the only one of the original Poké Ball forms that is not considered one of the basic Poké Ball types. When playing a game in the [[Safari Zone]], thirty of these will be provided to capture Pokémon with. If the game ends before all thirty are used, the remainder are returned when leaving the Safari Zone. It is as strong as a Great Ball, but catching Pokémon is often more difficult with it due to the fact that there are no formal [[Pokémon battle|battle]]s with Pokémon in the Safari Zone.
 

====Super Smash Brothers====
Normal Poké Balls are also an item in the ''[[Super Smash Brothers]]'' series. When thrown, on top of doing a small amount of damage to any opposing character they may hit, they release a randomly selected Pokémon. The most common is Magikarp, which does nothing.

===In the anime===

Beyond any doubt, the original Poké Ball is the most commonly used type of Ball in the anime. The vast majority of Pokémon are stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variations among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], which spends all of its time out of its Poké Ball, is shown to have a regular Poké Ball with a little lightning bolt drawn on it in ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]''. On the other hand, the Great Ball and Ultra Ball upgrades are not seen at all.

A Master Ball has been seen in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''. It was used by [[Sullivan]] in his attempt to capture a {{p|Whiscash}}. However, despite the fact that the Master Ball cannot be escaped from, he did not catch the Whiscash; instead, the Pokémon swallowed it whole.

Safari Balls were seen in ''[[EP035|The Legend of Dratini]]''. In this episode, [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] received thirty with which he could capture Safari Zone Pokémon. However, despite his best efforts to catch other Pokémon, he ended up using all thirty to capture a herd of [[Ash's Tauros|Tauros]].

[[Image:Custom Balls.jpg|thumb|Three of [[Kurt]]'s Custom Poké Balls]]
The Park Ball is much like the Safari Ball absent in the Generation II games, including being equal to a Great Ball in strength. It is used in the [[National Park]] during their [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. Thirty Park Balls are provided for this, and the Pokémon can be battled before they are captured. However, while all thirty balls can be used and catch Pokémon before the contest ends, only one Pokémon can be kept for the contest judging.

Most of the Poké Balls available in Generation II, however, are the custom Poké Balls crafted by [[Kurt]]. This Poké Ball expert can be found in [[Azalea Town]], and once per day he will craft an [[Apricorn]] into a special Poké Ball based on its color. Because of the much larger variety of Poké Balls available, Generation II was the first generation to introduce a [[bag]] with a separate pocket for Poké Balls.
 

===In the anime===
In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', Ash and [[Casey]] compete in the Bug-Catching Contest and use Park Balls to capture {{t|Bug}} Pokémon. Ash wins the contest with a [[Casey's Beedrill|Beedrill]], but gives it to Casey instead.

The custom Apricorn Poké Balls were seen and used a few times during the anime. In ''[[EP143|Goin' Apricorn]]'', Ash, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] receive Fast Balls from Kurt, and by the end of the episode Brock uses his to capture a [[Brock's Forretress|Pineco]]. By the end of the next episode, ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Ash and Misty receive Lure Balls, and Brock receives a Heavy Ball. In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', both Ash and Misty tried to capture a [[Ash's Totodile|Totodile]] with their Lure Balls, with Ash succeeding. Later, in ''[[EP213|A Corsola Caper]]'', Misty got a second chance to use her Lure Ball, capturing a [[Misty's Corsola|Corsola]] with it. The other two Fast Balls and the Heavy Ball were not seen or mentioned again, but a different Heavy Ball was used in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down!]]'' to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}.

All of the third generation Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].

The Luxury Ball is rare, second only to the Master Ball. One can be found on the [[Abandoned Ship]], and others can be obtained from winning [[Pokémon Contests]]. It heightens the rate at which the [[Happiness]] of the Pokémon captured with it increases.

The Premier Ball is given with every purchase of ten Poké Balls in [[Hoenn]] Poké Marts. However, it is not different from regular Poké Balls in any manner except appearance.

The Net Ball and Dive Ball can only be purchased at the Poké Mart in [[Mossdeep City]]. This is likely due to the city's high affiliation with the {{t|Water}} type.

The Nest Ball can only be purchased at the Poké Mart in [[Verdanturf Town]].

The Repeat Ball and Timer Ball can be purchased in [[Rustboro City]] after defeating the [[Elite Four]].

All Poké Balls released in [[Generation I]] are available as well.
 

==[[Generation IV]] Poké Balls==
===In the games===
Five new Poké Balls were introduced in the Generation IV games.

All of the Generation I and Generation III Poké Balls are also available.
 

==Other Poké Balls==
These Poké Balls are found outside of the standard games. They are often too unusual to fit in with other groups of Poké Balls, and some are so unusual that it is questionable if they even qualify as Poké Balls. Most of these have separate articles, which describe their unique properties in greater detail.

===In the games===
; [[Pester Ball|Pester Balls]]
: Seen in [[Pokémon Snap]], this unusual Poké Ball cannot catch Pokémon. Instead, it releases an irritating gas.

; [[GS Ball]]
: Seen in [[Pokémon Crystal]], this Poké Ball cannot catch Pokémon. Instead, it is a special item that can be used to make {{p|Celebi}} appear in the [[Ilex Forest]].

; [[Snag Ball|Snag Balls]]
: Though not a Poké Ball in its own right, this is seen in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. It is a ball that has been modified using the [[Snag Machine]]. It is capable of [[snagging]] a [[captured Pokémon]] during a [[Pokémon battle]] as if it were wild.

===In the anime===
; Pre-Poké Ball Objects
: There are multiple artifacts and antiques which have similar properties to modern Poké Balls but are not technically the same thing - some, in fact, are not even balls. These range from unusual artifacts found in the ancient city of [[Pokémopolis]] which contain [[Giant Pokémon]] inside (seen in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'') to antique Poké Balls which look similar to their modern-day equivalents but have an altered design and are made from a more fragile material (seen in ''[[EP232|Just Waiting on a Friend]]''). Given that these were made before the development of the technology used in modern Poké Balls, the workings behind these objects are a mystery. Another early Poké Ball design is seen in [[Pokémon 4Ever]] when [[Professor Oak|Sammy]] uses a Poké Ball brought from his own time with a lock on its button to call out his {{p|Charmeleon}}. This model seems to be much closer to the modern design.

; Solid Gold Poké Balls
: There are not actually any solid gold Poké Balls in the Pokémon world. However, the idea is often used to fool greedy criminals like [[Brodie]] in ''[[AG119|The Ribbon Cup Caper]]'' or gullible consumers like [[James]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.

; [[Mewtwo Ball|Mewtwo Balls]]
: Official name unknown. Marked by an eerie eye incorporated into their design, these Poké Balls were created and used by [[Mewtwo (anime)|Mewtwo]] in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. They can be moved around easily with Mewtwo's {{t|Psychic}} powers, and they can capture any Pokémon, including those which are already inside other Poké Balls. Mewtwo used these to gather Pokémon to be cloned.

; [[GS Ball]]
: This was in the possession of [[Professor Ivy]], who gave it to [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], who in turn gave it to [[Kurt]] to study. Despite this, its purpose is completely unknown, since it was never mentioned again after being given to Kurt, and has most likely been forgotten. There is a large amount of fan speculation as to what purpose it holds.

; [[Dark Ball|Dark Balls]]
: These were used by [[Vicious]] in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''. Presumably technology of [[Team Rocket]], these Poké Balls will take over the mind of any Pokémon caught by them, making them turn into mindless servants of whoever caught them. These were used to capture multiple Pokémon, including {{p|Celebi}}.

===In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]]===
; Dual Ball
: This ball is found in both {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} ({{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Dual Ball|72}}) and {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} ({{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Dual Ball|89}}).

; {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}}
: This ball is found in {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}.

; {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}}
: This ball is found in {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}}.

; {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}}
: This ball is found in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}.

[[Cassidy]]'s Sableye debuted in [[H008]].

=Pokédex entries=
; [[Pokémon Ruby]]
: Sableye lead quiet lives deep inside caverns. They are feared, however, because these Pokémon are thought to steal the spirits of people when their eyes burn with a sinister glow in the darkness.
; [[Pokémon Sapphire]]
: Sableye digs the ground with sharpened claws to find rocks that it eats. Substances in the eaten rocks crystallize an rise up to the Pokémon's body surface.
; [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]
: It feeds on gemstone crystals. In darkness, its eyes sparkle with the glitter of jewels.
; [[Pokémon Emerald]]
: It digs branching holes in caves using its sharp claws in search of food — raw gems. A Sableye lurks in darkness and is seen only rarely.
