The Origin Ball (Japanese: オリジンボール Origin Ball) is a Key Item introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. It is a Poké Ball version of the Red Chain.

In the core series games

Catches either Origin Forme Palkia (if the player chose to seek the materials for the Red Chain with Adaman) or Origin Forme Dialga (if the player chose Irida) at the Temple of Sinnoh during a cutscene in Mission 18: "The Counterpart". It cannot be used to catch any other Pokémon, as the player is not allowed to select and throw it.

Summary sprite from
Legends: Arceus

The Origin Ball's shape is that of a truncated icosahedron.
The Origin Ball is the only usable Poké Ball that is also a Key Item, and the only kind of Poké Ball obtainable in a core series game that cannot be thrown during normal gameplay.
The Origin Ball can only legitimately contain two species of Pokémon, the fewest of any Poké Ball in the core series games.
- With the addition of the Origin Ball, Dialga and Palkia are now the only two Pokémon that can be legitimately caught in every kind of Poké Ball in the core series to date (besides the Park Ball, which cannot be the registered Poké Ball of any Pokémon).
