The Strange Ball (Japanese: ストレンジボール Strange Ball) is a placeholder Poké Ball introduced in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. It is used to represent the Poké Balls of Pokémon when they were caught in a Poké Ball that does not exist in the current game.
In the core series games
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Pokémon caught in Poké Balls that do not exist in that game instead display a Strange Ball as their Poké Ball.
- In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon caught in any Poké Ball other than one of the Hisuian Poké Balls are displayed as being caught in a Strange Ball.
- In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the Strange Ball doesn't exist within the game data as a physical item, however Pokémon caught in any Hisuian Poké Balls are displayed as being caught in a Strange Ball.
Pokémon Sword and Shield do not feature Strange Balls; instead, Pokémon caught in Hisuian Poké Balls are placed into standard Poké Balls upon withdrawal from Pokémon HOME. When deposited back into HOME, their original ball will be restored.
Effect
The Strange Ball cannot be legitimately obtained as an item, so it cannot normally be used.
As a Pokémon's Poké Ball
From Generation VI onward, bred Pokémon inherit their Poké Ball from their parents. However, the Strange Ball, Master Ball, and Cherish Ball cannot be passed down via breeding; instead, they act as a regular Poké Ball for inheritance purposes.
