The '''Master Ball''' (Japanese: '''マスターボール''' ''Master Ball'') is a type of [[Poké Ball]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It can be used to catch a [[wild Pokémon]] without fail. It was invented by the [[Silph Co.]]

===Effect===
[[File:Master Ball cutscene PE.png|thumb|250px|A Master Ball being used in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]]]
====Manual activation====
When used from the [[Bag]] in a {{pkmn2|wild}} encounter, it catches the wild Pokémon without fail (with the exception of the [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]] in [[Pokémon Tower]]). Despite the common misconception that the Master Ball has a low chance to fail in certain generations, it functions by simply overriding the catch formula entirely, skipping any calculations based on chance.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], throwing a Master Ball will bypass the Poké Ball manual aiming mechanic, and will instead show a cutscene of the Master Ball catching the chosen Pokémon. If used on [[Legendary Pokémon]] in these games, they will attempt to smack the ball away during the cutscene, but will still be caught anyway.

The Master Ball cannot be used in situations in which Poké Balls cannot be used, such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present or against a [[Island challenge|trial]] Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle, the opposing Trainer will bat the ball away, wasting the item ([[Generation III]] and earlier) or only the player's turn (from [[Generation IV]] onward).

====As a Pokémon's Poké Ball====
From [[Generation VI]] onward, [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon inherit their Poké Ball from their parents. However, any offspring that would inherit a Master Ball, [[Cherish Ball]], or [[Strange Ball]] will instead be contained in a {{i|Poké Ball|standard Poké Ball}}.

====Held item====
{{m|Fling}} will fail if used while holding a Master Ball.

{{-}}

==In the side series games==

===Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness===
In {{Pokémon XD}}, Master Balls are used in the [[Battle Bingo]] game. The player starts with two and can gain an extra one from one of the ? spaces.

===Pokémon Dream World===
[[File:DW Master Ball Rug.png|thumb|A Master Ball-themed rug from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}]]

===Pokémon GO===
[[File:GO Master Ball.png|thumb|150px|A Master Ball in Pokémon GO]]
In [[Pokémon GO]], the Master Ball was first made available on May 22, 2023. It can be used to catch any encountered Pokémon without fail. It cannot miss, as a cutscene of the Pokémon being caught is triggered when one is thrown, bypassing the usual throwing mechanic. The Master Ball is the only Poké Ball that can be selected from the player's [[Bag]] during the bonus challenge of a {{GO|Raid Battle}}, [[Max Battle]], or [[Team GO Rocket]] battle. It also cannot be discarded from the Bag.

Using a Master Ball does not reward bonus XP for Curveball Throws or hitting the target circle. Instead, a 1,000 XP "Master Ball Throw" bonus is rewarded.

===Pokémon Frienda===
{{missing image|section}}
In [[Pokémon Frienda]], after a set number of [[move]]s have been used and at least one opposing Pokémon has fainted, the player can insert ¥100 for a chance to catch all of the opposing Pokémon. A spinning wheel determines what Poké Balls are used on the Pokémon, with one of the options being a very small chance for a Master Ball.

[[File:Master Ball SSB4.png|thumb|240px|The Master Ball in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
====Super Smash Bros. Brawl====
In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], the [[Poké Ball]] trophy mentions the Master Ball, identifying it as the strongest variety of Poké Ball.

====Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U====
{{SmashWiki|Master Ball}}
In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the Master Ball appears as a throwing item. It functions much like the Poké Ball item, but the Master Ball summons rare and [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Zoroark}}, or a {{p|Goldeen}}.

[[File:Master Ball 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Master Ball trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
The Master Ball also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

=====Trophy information=====
'''NA:''' ''These valuable, powerful balls can capture any wild Pokémon. In Smash Bros., hard-to-find Pokémon often pop out of them. You can easily identify a Master Ball by the distinct purple appearance and large M on the top. A Pokémon within a Master Ball may turn the tide of battle.''

'''PAL:''' ''A rare type of Poké Ball that never fails to catch a Pokémon. Throw one in this game, and the Mythical or Legendary Pokémon inside will come to your aid. Master Balls are easy to identify due to their purple colour and the large M on them. Use one to quickly turn the tide of any battle!''

====Super Smash Bros. Ultimate====
In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the Master Ball functions the same way as it did in the previous games; summoning a Legendary or [[Mythical Pokémon]], Zoroark, or Goldeen.

The Master Ball never made an actual appearance in [[Pokémon Origins]], only appearing in [[Silph Co.]] president's secretary's demonstration in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. She mentioned that the Master Ball was still in development, and only existed as a prototype. She also told that it was why [[Team Rocket]] had taken over their office building; they intended to accelerate the development of the Master Ball and then steal it when it would be completed, making sure they would be the only ones possessing it. After Team Rocket was driven out of the building by {{OBP|Red|Origins}}, it was mentioned that the development of the Master Ball was being put on hold for a while.

The presentation about the Master Ball appears to include a {{wp|periodic table of the elements}} with 13 elements highlighted, suggesting that the Master Ball is made of those elements. Three of the highlighted elements appear to be {{wp|nickel}}, {{wp|rhodium}}, and {{wp|iridium}}. Five appear to be those known in the real world as {{wp|copper}}, {{wp|lutetium}}, {{wp|rhenium}}, {{wp|dubnium}}, and {{wp|darmstadtium}} (the real-world names of which refer to real-world places). The other five highlighted elements include three in the {{wp|p-block}} and two in the {{wp|f-block}}, but their identities are unclear, because these blocks each have one fewer [[wp:Group (periodic table)|group]], and the f-block has one fewer [[wp:Period (periodic table)|period]], than their real-world counterparts. Of the highlighted p-block elements, one appears to be either {{wp|boron}} or {{wp|carbon}}, one appears to correspond to {{wp|germanium}} or {{wp|arsenic}} (both are used in electronics, but arsenic would normally be [[wp:Gallium arsenide|combined with gallium]]), and the third appears to be {{wp|selenium}} or {{wp|bromine}}. Of the highlighted f-block elements, one appears to correspond to {{wp|dysprosium}}, {{wp|holmium}}, {{wp|californium}}, or {{wp|einsteinium}}, and the other appears to correspond to {{wp|thulium}}, {{wp|ytterbium}}, {{wp|mendelevium}}, or {{wp|nobelium}}.

===''Pokémon Power''===
In ''{{OBP|Pokémon Power|magazine}}'' (issue 2, page 3), it is said that the Master Ball was the latest invention of [[Professor Oak]]. He publicly revealed the existence of the Master Ball in a press conference. Professor Oak licensed the Master Ball design to [[Silph Co.]], and this company's early field tests were said to be promising.

==In the TCG==
[[File:MasterBallGymChallenge116.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Original print of Master Ball]]
[[File:MasterBallTemporalForces153.jpg|thumb|200px|Master Ball as an ACE SPEC Item card]]
{{main|Master Ball (Gym Challenge 116)}}
The '''Master Ball''' was first introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in English during the Original Series in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}}, and in Japanese during the Original Era in the {{TCG|Expansion Sheet 2}}. It has been reprinted as a Trainer card in the Japanese-exclusive {{TCG|Intro Pack Neo}} (in the Neo Era), the Japanese-exclusive {{TCG|Pokémon VS}} expansion (in the VS Era), the English e-Card Series (the Japanese e-Card Era), and the English EX Series (the Japanese ADV Era and PCG Era). As a Trainer card, this card allowed the player to look at the top 7 cards of their deck and add one Pokémon card from those cards to their hand, then shuffle their deck. Notably, as this card only lets the players look at 7 cards from their deck, this card has a chance to fail to get any Pokémon, which is unlike how the in-game item works.

During the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era), Master Ball was reprinted as an {{TCG|ACE SPEC card|ACE SPEC}} {{TCG|Item card}} in the {{TCG|Plasma Blast}} expansion in English and the {{TCG|Blastoise + Kyurem-EX Combo Deck}} in Japanese. This print has a new effect which more closely resembles the item's in-game mechanic, allowing the player to add any 1 Pokémon card from their deck to their hand without any drawback. As this print is an ACE SPEC card, a player may only have 1 copy of Master Ball in their deck. This print of Master Ball was later reprinted during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era) in the Japanese {{TCG|Starter Deck & Build Sets}} and the English {{TCG|Temporal Forces}} expansion with the same effect, but a new ACE SPEC layout. The old pre-Black & White effect of Master Ball would be inherited by {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, starting with its {{TCG|Emerging Powers}} print.

The Master Ball was also featured as a card in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]]
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* {{g|Legends: Arceus}} is the only core series game in which the Master Ball does not appear at all.
* The {{DL|List of battle glitches in Generation III|Poké Ball amount bug}} from [[Pokémon Colosseum]] is often known as the Master Ball glitch, due to Master Balls commonly being used in this glitch.
* When the {{player}} uses a Master Ball in [[Generation II]], stars appear and a sound effect is played before the Ball closes and {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} the Pokémon.
* There are several instances of a Master Ball failing to capture a Pokémon:
** In the {{ma|Mewtwo Strikes Back!}} manga, {{p|Mew}} dodged [[Dr. Fuji]]'s Master Ball by quickly flying in the air.
** In the {{aniseries|RS}} episode ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', [[Nero]] the {{p|Whiscash}} swallowed [[Sullivan]]'s Master Ball.
** In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] chapter ''[[DPA22|Bonds Connect Across Space-Time...]]'', {{p|Dialga}}, by manipulating space, disappeared out of the way of [[Hareta]]'s Master Ball and then smacked it aside.
** In [[Pokémon Pinball]] and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], due to the [[Ball Upgrade|different types of Poké Ball]] only affecting the player's {{pin|scoring|scores}} and not the chances of catching a Pokémon, it is possible to hit a [[wild Pokémon]] with a Master Ball during the [[Catch 'em Mode]] and still fail to catch it (if the time runs out or the player loses a ball before hitting the wild Pokémon three times).

'''Hotel Z''' (Japanese: '''ホテルＺ''' ''Hotel Z'') is a hotel located in [[Lumiose City]] in the [[Kalos]] region. Hotel Z was owned by [[AZ]] and is where [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]] formerly resided and worked. It serves as the [[Player character|player]]'s headquarters during their stay in the city.

==Description==
According to AZ, he named the building "Hotel Z" as he intended it to be his final place of living.<ref>'''[[AZ]]:''' "I do not mind the quiet. This place was intended to be my final residence. That is why I called it Hotel “Z.”" ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> The player stays at Room 202 of Hotel Z.

If the player obtains all the [[Colorful Screw]]s in Lumiose City and trades them all for the [[Canari plush|Canari plushes]] from the Colorful Screw Exchange at [[Racine Construction]], a giant Canari plush decor will be added to the player's hotel room.

List of clothing in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

2025-12-16T00:30:51Z

Pb721: /* Tops */ Updated the tops section to represent default team MZ clothing of both genders

As with previous games since {{pkmn|X and Y}}, {{player}}s are able to [[Trainer customization|customize their appearance]] in {{pkmn|Legends: Z-A}}. Outfits can be purchased at one of many [[Trainer customization#Pokémon Legends: Z-A|boutiques]] in [[Lumiose City]], and some individual items are received over the course of the game's story. Boutiques can only be visited after the player visits the [[Looker Bureau]] for the first time. Additionally, an NPC named [[Claddia]] may loan the player an ensemble made up of random fashion items, but the items must be return if the player wishes to change any aspect of their style.

Players can customize tops and bottoms (or wear all-in-one outfits), headwear, eyewear, gloves, legwear, footwear, [[bag|satchel]]s, and earrings. They can change their outfit at any time from the pause menu by pressing the - button. Unlike in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}}, the [[Rotom Phone]]'s case cannot be customized.

==Boutiques==
There are 41 boutiques in Lumiose City, all of which are located within 5 dedicated shopping arcades. Each shopping arcade also has a salon where the player may change their hairstyle, bangs, hair color (and optionally, color blocking or balayage), eyebrow shape, and eyebrow color.

The player cannot initially enter [[Boutique Couture]] until reaching a certain point in the game's main storyline.

'''Pokémon TCG: ''Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together''''' is the name of the ninth main expansion of cards from the Scarlet & Violet Series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. It will be released in English on March 28, 2025.

==Blurb==
<i>Trainer's Pokémon Break into Battle!

The bond they share empowers them to act as one in battle as they push their strength to the limit, including as Pokémon ex! Team up with N's Zoroark ex, Iono's Bellibolt ex, Lillie's Clefairy ex, Hop's Zacian ex, and more Trainer's Pokémon, and discover the unstoppable power of friendship in the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together expansion!</i>

==Information==
'''Journey Together''' is the ninth expansion of cards for the Scarlet & Violet Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It sees the return of {{TCG|Trainer's Pokémon}} to the game, marking the first time since {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} that the mechanic has been featured in a main expansion. It focuses on Pokémon owned by four Trainers: [[N]], [[Iono]], [[Lillie]], and [[Hop]].

Journey Together includes cards from the Japanese {{TCG|Battle Partners}} expansion, as well as several cards from the {{TCG|Generations Start Decks}}. It contains four Trainer's {{TCG|Pokémon ex}}, 16 regular Pokémon ex, 11 {{TCG|illustration rare}} Pokémon, six {{TCG|special illustration rare}} Pokémon, and three {{TCG|hyper rare}} gold etched cards.

The expansion marks the return of the {{TCG|Box Topper}}, a special card included inside ''select'' booster boxes. Journey Together features two kinds of booster boxes, an '''Enhanced Booster Display Box''' that will include a specially stamped variant of the in-set {{TCG ID|Journey Together|N's Reshiram|167}} illustration rare, and a regular '''Booster Display Box''' that doesn't contain the Box Topper. It is currently unclear what the distribution will be, but it is currently known that:
* The Enhanced Booster Display Box was made available via the {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} online store.
* European [[Play! Pokémon]] retailers have the option to sell either the Enhanced Booster Box or the regular Booster Box.
* Non-Play! Pokémon retailers worldwide, including Best Buy<ref>[https://www.bestbuy.com/site/pokemon-trading-card-game-scarlet-violet-journey-together-booster-box-36-packs/6614262.p?skuId=6614262 Best Buy webstore]</ref> and GameStop<ref>[https://www.gamestop.com/toys-games/trading-cards/products/pokemon-trading-card-game-scarlet-and-violet-journey-together-booster-box-36-count/420197.html GameStop westore]</ref> in the {{pmin|United States}}, appear to have only made regular Booster Boxes available for purchase.

Journey Together is available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and—for the first time—{{pmin|Latin America}}n Spanish.

Alpha Pokémon

[[File:Pokémon HOME Wallpaper Alpha Pokémon.png|250px|thumb|The alpha Pokémon wallpaper in [[Pokémon HOME]]]]
An '''alpha Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''オヤブン''' ''boss'') is a variety of Pokémon found in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. They are {{pkmn2|giant|larger-than-normal}} Pokémon that appear in [[Hisui]] with increased combat capabilities. Alpha Pokémon can be identified with the [[File:Alpha icon.png|24px]] icon in the Pokémon's [[summary]] screen and on their health bar in the wild (if [[transfer]]red to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, they have the [[Mark|Alpha Mark]] instead). Additionally, {{pkmn2|wild}} alpha Pokémon have glowing red eyes, except for {{p|Zubat}}. However, they do not stay that way after they have been captured.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Pokémon who were previously identified as alpha Pokémon will have the title "Former Alpha" and with the Alpha Mark [[File:Alpha Mark.png|24px]] instead.

==In the core series games==
===Story===
Shortly after the {{player}} joins the {{DL|Galaxy Team|Survey Corps}}, an alpha {{p|Kricketune}} intrudes [[Deertrack Heights]]. [[Mai]], the [[warden]] who oversees {{p|Wyrdeer}}, enlists {{ga|Akari}}/{{ga|Rei}} to help defeat the Kricketune, who in turn asks the player to aid Mai due to their skill in [[Pokémon battle]]s.

While [[Ingo]] is leading the player through [[Wayward Cave]], an alpha {{p|Crobat}} appears along the route. Ingo insists that the player not battle it due to the reduced visibility caused by the absence of the cave's torches, and leads them on a detour to avoid it. The player is unable to battle or catch this particular alpha Pokémon until Ingo reinstalls the torches in the cave.

During the three [[Task#Missions|Trials]] of the [[Lake guardians]], the player has to face an alpha Pokémon at each lake; {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Goodra}} at [[Lake Verity]], {{p|Overqwil}} at [[Lake Valor]], and Hisuian {{p|Zoroark}} at [[Lake Acuity]].

During the post-game, when the player goes to meet [[Volo]] at [[Grueling Grove]], the two are ambushed by an alpha {{p|Vespiquen}}. After defeating the Pokémon, the player receives a [[Stone Plate]] from her.

===Gameplay===
In the wild, alpha Pokémon will be at a higher [[level]] than other species of the same kind that can be found in that area, will have at least three stats with [[individual values]] of 31 (expressed in this game as initial [[effort levels]] of 3) and will know and have mastered a move that cannot be learned by leveling up. Alpha Pokémon cannot be caught outside of battle if they are significantly higher level than the player's current [[obedience]] level. They can, however, be caught regardless of level during a battle with them. If caught, alpha Pokémon will count as heavy specimens and large specimens for [[Research task (Legends: Arceus)|research task]]s. Regardless of the species' normal behavior, alpha Pokémon (except for {{p|Mantyke}} and {{p|Mantine}}) are always aggressive towards the player and will never run away, unless a [[space-time distortion]] appears around it or it is a species which only appears in the wild at certain times of day. If an alpha Pokémon spots the player, it will roar out a shockwave which, if close enough, will cause the player to be knocked to the ground; they are also forcibly dismounted from their {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} if riding {{p|Wyrdeer}}, {{p|Ursaluna}}, or {{p|Sneasler}}.

Upon entering battle, wild alpha Pokémon are filled with '''Wild Might''' (Japanese: '''野性の力''' ''Wild Strength''), as indicated by their glowing red eyes. This increases all of a Pokémon's [[stat]]s, independently of in-battle stat boosts, and reduces damage from [[status condition]]s. Alpha Pokémon can also use [[Move mastery|agile style and strong style]] moves in battle.

There are three types of ways alpha Pokémon may spawn:
* Fixed alpha Pokémon spawns will always be generated upon entering a given area of the Hisui region, and will be at a fixed level; for instance, the alpha {{p|Rapidash}} in the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]] is always Lv. 40. These alpha Pokémon will also automatically respawn after two full in-game days.
* Random alpha Pokémon spawns may occur after the player has quelled the area's [[noble Pokémon]]. Alpha Pokémon, of the same species as the location's standard spawns, each have a small chance of appearing (between a 0.2% and 2% chance). Each location has its own rates for how likely each alpha Pokémon may spawn, including space-time distortions. Prior to the Daybreak update, during [[mass outbreak]]s, at most one alpha Pokémon could appear, however this limit was later lifted to account for the "exclusively alpha" bonus waves of [[Mass outbreak|massive mass outbreak]]s.
* During a massive mass outbreak, clearing all Pokémon in a location may cause a second wave of Pokémon to appear in the same location; if this occurs, the second wave may be composed entirely of alpha Pokémon.

During the battle against {{p|Giratina}} at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], it will be filled with '''Terrible Might''' (Japanese: '''すさまじい力''' ''Tremendous Strength''), which has an identical effect to Wild Might.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, alpha Pokémon [[transfer]]red from Legends: Arceus will gain the Alpha [[Mark]]. They will not retain their unique sizes in these games, but will return to their alpha size when brought back to Legends: Arceus. Instead, they will be appear as the largest non-alpha height value that the species could have.

==Fixed alpha Pokémon==
Fixed alpha Pokémon are specimens that always appear in their alpha form in a specific location. Some of these specimens do not spawn until after parts of the main story are completed, usually needing the region's frenzied Noble to be tamed before appearing in the overworld.

Species marked with an * can only be found as that single fixed alpha specimen, in rare or massive mass outbreaks, or a space-time distortion, but not anywhere else in the overworld.

===[[List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus#Alpha Pokémon|Unique alpha Pokémon]]===
These unique alpha Pokémon can only be found once during the storyline. With the exception of Vespiquen, they do not have the usual guarantee of any stats with individual values of 31 (starting effort levels of 3). The alpha Pokémon found in Acuity, Verity, and Valor Caverns are prevented from being {{Shiny}}, and have Scale values of 128 instead of 255. Hisuian Zoroark and Overqwil do not have other fixed alpha spawns on the map.

[[File:Alpha Garchomp HS.png|thumb|250px|An alpha {{p|Garchomp}} in [[Pokémon: Hisuian Snow]]]]

In ''[[HIS03|Two Hues]]'', an alpha {{p|Garchomp}} attacked [[Alec]] and the [[Galaxy Team]], but it was driven away by a {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Zoroark}} that Alec had befriended in his youth as a {{p|Zorua}}.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* There is a third variant of the Wild Might effect in game data, called '''Terrific Might''' (Japanese: '''偉大な力'''), which is a version of Wild Might without the stat boosts. Its usage within the game is unknown.
* When alpha {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} appear in the wild, only two of their eyes glow red.
* When alpha {{p|Spiritomb}} appears in the wild, the lines in its [[Odd Keystone]] also glow red.
* Interestingly, {{p|Arceus}} itself is also known as the {{pkmn|category|Alpha Pokémon}}, though this similarity does not hold in Japanese.
* Alpha Pokémon are guaranteed to have 31 in at least 3 of their {{IV}} stats, a trait that {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] have also had since [[Generation VI]].
* Alpha Pokémon have a slightly different music track in battle. If the player starts a battle with an alpha Pokémon and one or more non-alpha Pokémon at the same time, then catches or defeats the alpha Pokémon, the music will transition back into the standard wild battle track.

===Origin===
Alpha Pokémon might be based on the concept of {{wp|dominance hierarchy}} in biology. Amongst animal groups, an alpha is a member of the species that has a higher rank in the group's hierarchy, contrary to the beta members who are the more submissive ones. Alpha animals often employ aggression tactics to assert dominance and leadership over their specific groups. This concept may be seen in gameplay, where alpha Pokémon display an aggressive disposition even when members of said species typically would not. They also serve as leaders of the pack, as alpha Pokémon are regularly found in places where unevolved members of their species gather, and even show signs of territorialism, as some alpha Pokémon tend to come to the aid of the lesser members when alerted. Their Japanese name "boss" seems to reinforce this idea of hierarchical leadership.

The '''Master Ball''' (Japanese: '''マスターボール''' ''Master Ball'') is a type of [[Poké Ball]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It can be used to catch a [[wild Pokémon]] without fail. It was invented by the [[Silph Co.]]

===Effect===
[[File:Master Ball cutscene PE.png|thumb|250px|A Master Ball being used in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]]]
====Manual activation====
When used from the [[Bag]] in a {{pkmn2|wild}} encounter, it catches the wild Pokémon without fail (with the exception of the [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]] in [[Pokémon Tower]]). Despite the common misconception that the Master Ball has a low chance to fail in certain generations, it functions by simply overriding the catch formula entirely, skipping any calculations based on chance.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], throwing a Master Ball will bypass the Poké Ball manual aiming mechanic, and will instead show a cutscene of the Master Ball catching the chosen Pokémon. If used on [[Legendary Pokémon]] in these games, they will attempt to smack the ball away during the cutscene, but will still be caught anyway.

The Master Ball cannot be used in situations in which Poké Balls cannot be used, such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present or against a [[Island challenge|trial]] Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle, the opposing Trainer will bat the ball away, wasting the item ([[Generation III]] and earlier) or only the player's turn (from [[Generation IV]] onward).

====As a Pokémon's Poké Ball====
From [[Generation VI]] onward, [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon inherit their Poké Ball from their parents. However, the Master Ball, [[Cherish Ball]], and [[Strange Ball]] cannot be passed down via breeding; instead, they act as a regular Poké Ball for inheritance purposes.

====Held item====
{{m|Fling}} will fail if used while holding a Master Ball.

In [[Pokémon GO]], the Master Ball was first made available on May 22, 2023. It can be used to catch any encountered Pokémon without fail. It cannot miss, as a cutscene of the Pokémon being caught is triggered when one is thrown, bypassing the usual throwing mechanic. The Master Ball is the only Poké Ball that can be selected from the player's [[Bag]] during the bonus challenge of a {{GO|Raid Battle}}, [[Max Battle]], or [[Team GO Rocket]] battle. It also cannot be discarded from the Bag.

Using a Master Ball does not reward bonus XP for Curveball Throws or hitting the target circle. Instead, a 1,000 XP "Master Ball Throw" bonus is rewarded.

===Pokémon Frienda===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Image}}
In [[Pokémon Frienda]], after a set number of [[move]]s have been used and at least one opposing Pokémon has fainted, the player can insert ¥100 for a chance to catch all of the opposing Pokémon. A spinning wheel determines what Poké Balls are used on the Pokémon, with one of the options being a very small chance for a Master Ball.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Master Ball SSB4.png|thumb|240px|The Master Ball in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
====Super Smash Bros. Brawl====
In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], the [[Poké Ball]] trophy mentions the Master Ball, identifying it as the strongest variety of Poké Ball.

====Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U====
{{SmashWiki|Master Ball}}
In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the Master Ball appears as a throwing item. It functions much like the Poké Ball item, but the Master Ball summons rare and [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Zoroark}}, or a {{p|Goldeen}}.

[[File:Master Ball 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Master Ball trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
The Master Ball also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

=====Trophy information=====
'''NA:''' ''These valuable, powerful balls can capture any wild Pokémon. In Smash Bros., hard-to-find Pokémon often pop out of them. You can easily identify a Master Ball by the distinct purple appearance and large M on the top. A Pokémon within a Master Ball may turn the tide of battle.''

'''PAL:''' ''A rare type of Poké Ball that never fails to catch a Pokémon. Throw one in this game, and the Mythical or Legendary Pokémon inside will come to your aid. Master Balls are easy to identify due to their purple colour and the large M on them. Use one to quickly turn the tide of any battle!''

====Super Smash Bros. Ultimate====
In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the Master Ball functions the same way as it did in the previous games; summoning a Legendary or [[Mythical Pokémon]], Zoroark, or Goldeen.

She mentioned that the Master Ball was still in development, and only existed as a prototype. She also told that it was why [[Team Rocket]] had taken over their office building; they intended to accelerate the development of the Master Ball and then steal it when it would be completed, making sure they would be the only ones possessing it. After Team Rocket was driven out of the building by {{OBP|Red|Origins}}, it was mentioned that the development of the Master Ball was being put on hold for a while.

==In the TCG==
[[File:MasterBallGymChallenge116.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Original print of Master Ball]]
[[File:MasterBallTemporalForces153.jpg|thumb|200px|Master Ball as an ACE SPEC Item card]]
{{main|Master Ball (Gym Challenge 116)}}
The '''Master Ball''' was first introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in English during the Original Series in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}}, and in Japanese during the Original Era in the {{TCG|Expansion Sheet 2}}. It has been reprinted as a Trainer card in the Japanese-exclusive {{TCG|Intro Pack Neo}} (in the Neo Era), the Japanese-exclusive {{TCG|Pokémon VS}} expansion (in the VS Era), the English e-Card Series (the Japanese e-Card Era), and the English EX Series (the Japanese ADV Era and PCG Era). As a Trainer card, this card allowed the player to look at the top 7 cards of their deck and add one Pokémon card from those cards to their hand, then shuffle their deck. Notably, as this card only lets the players look at 7 cards from their deck, this card has a chance to fail to get any Pokémon, which is unlike how the in-game item works.

During the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era), Master Ball was reprinted as an {{TCG|ACE SPEC card|ACE SPEC}} {{TCG|Item card}} in the {{TCG|Plasma Blast}} expansion in English and the {{TCG|Blastoise + Kyurem-EX Combo Deck}} in Japanese. This print has a new effect which more closely resembles the item's in-game mechanic, allowing the player to add any 1 Pokémon card from their deck to their hand without any drawback. As this print is an ACE SPEC card, a player may only have 1 copy of Master Ball in their deck. This print of Master Ball was later reprinted during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era) in the Japanese {{TCG|Starter Deck & Build Sets}} and the English {{TCG|Temporal Forces}} expansion with the same effect, but a new ACE SPEC layout. The old pre-Black & White effect of Master Ball would be inherited by {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, starting with its {{TCG|Emerging Powers}} print.

The Master Ball was also featured as a card in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]]
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* {{g|Legends: Arceus}} is the only core series game in which the Master Ball does not appear at all.
* The {{DL|List of glitches in Generation III|Poké Ball amount bug}} from [[Pokémon Colosseum]] is often known as the Master Ball glitch, due to Master Balls commonly being used in this glitch.
* When the {{player}} uses a Master Ball in [[Generation II]], stars appear and a sound effect is played before the Ball closes and {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} the Pokémon.

The '''Ultra Ball''' (Japanese: '''ハイパーボール''' ''Hyper Ball'') is a type of [[Poké Ball]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is an improved variant of the [[Great Ball]] that can be used to catch [[wild Pokémon]].

==In the core series games==

In {{game|Crystal}}, an Ultra Ball costs {{PDollar}}1000 during the [[Goldenrod Department Store#Rooftop Lookout|Goldenrod Department Store rooftop sale]].

===Effect===
====Manual activation====
When used from the [[Bag]] in a [[wild Pokémon]] encounter, it will attempt to catch the wild Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] modifier of 2×.

If used on an [[Ultra Beast]], the catch rate modifier is instead set to 410/4096× (~0.1×).

The Ultra Ball cannot be used in situations in which Poké Balls cannot be used, such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present or against a [[Island challenge|trial]] Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle (except if used as a [[Snag Ball]] on a [[Shadow Pokémon]]), the opposing Trainer will deflect it, wasting the ball (in [[Generation III]] and earlier) or only the player's turn (from [[Generation IV]] onward). If used on the [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]], it will dodge it, wasting the ball.

====Held item====
{{m|Fling}} fails if the user is holding an Ultra Ball.

==In the TCG==
[[File:UltraBallSunMoon135.jpg|200px|thumb|The Ultra Ball]]
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|left|250px|An Ultra Ball in {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}]]
{{main|Ultra Ball (Dark Explorers 102)}}
The '''Ultra Ball''', debuting in {{TCG|Dark Explorers}} with artwork by [[5ban Graphics]], has the player discard two cards from their hand to search the deck for a Pokémon.

Before being printed as its own card, an Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}} from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The Ultra Ball includes a stylized H in its design. This is due to its Japanese name, Hyper Ball.
* Its English name is the same as the [[Beast Ball]] in Japanese. "Ultra" in Beast Ball's Japanese name refers to "[[Ultra Beast]]s". The Japanese name of Beast Ball was likely changed due to the localization conflict with Ultra Ball, with "Beast" being used to refer to the Ultra Beasts instead.
* The Ultra Ball appears to have gone through a short-lived design change early on in [[Generation III]]. Its in-game design in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby and Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]] features a single thick yellow stripe down the middle of the upper half of the Ball, while all other games in the generation use the standard large upper-case H shape for the yellow pattern instead.

The '''Great Ball''' (Japanese: '''スーパーボール''' ''Super Ball'') is a type of [[Poké Ball]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is an improved variant of the regular {{i|Poké Ball}} that can be used to catch [[wild Pokémon]].

==In the core series games==

In {{game|Crystal}}, a Great Ball costs {{PDollar}}500 during the [[Goldenrod Department Store#Rooftop Lookout|Goldenrod Department Store rooftop sale]].

===Effect===
====Manual activation====
When used from the [[Bag]] in a {{pkmn2|wild}} encounter, it will attempt to catch the wild Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] modifier of 1.5×.

If used on an [[Ultra Beast]], the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 410/4096× (~0.1×).

The Great Ball cannot be used in situations in which Poké Balls cannot be used, such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present or against a [[Island challenge|trial]] Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle (except if used as a [[Snag Ball]] on a [[Shadow Pokémon]]), the opposing Trainer will deflect it, wasting the ball (in [[Generation III]] and earlier) or only the player's turn (from [[Generation IV]] onward). If used on the [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]], it will dodge it, wasting the ball.

====Held item====
{{m|Fling}} fails if the user is holding a Great Ball.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Stadium 2===
In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Great Balls appear in the mini-game {{p|Furret}}'s Frolic. They are worth two points each.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Shuffle===
[[File:Shuffle Great Ball.png|thumb|200px|Using a Great Ball on {{p|Pancham}} in Pokémon Shuffle]]
In {{g|Shuffle}}, whenever the player defeats an uncaught Pokémon that is not a [[Trainer]]'s [[Mega Evolve]]d Pokémon, they get a chance to [[Caught Pokémon|catch that Pokémon]] with a regular [[Poké Ball]] provided automatically. If the Pokémon escapes that Poké Ball, the player is prompted to purchase a Great Ball. Great Balls cost 2500 Coins in the 3DS version of the game and 3500 Coins in Pokémon Shuffle Mobile. This Great Ball is immediately used against the Pokémon. If a Great Ball fails, the player can purchase another, unless they have already used four Great Balls on the current catch attempt. If the fourth Great Ball fails, or if the player chooses not to purchase a Great Ball at any point, the Pokémon runs away and the stage concludes. The Pokémon also has a chance to flee each time it escapes a Great Ball.

Using a Great Ball doubles the Pokémon's current [[Caught Pokémon|catchability]], increasing the chance of a capture succeeding. This is not repeated when the player purchases further Great Balls. On rare occasions, [[Pokémon Shuffle#Catching Pokémon|Super Catch Power]] will activate after the catchability doubling but before the prompt for the Great Ball. Super Catch Power boosts the player's odds of catching the Pokémon to 50% or more. This can only be taken advantage of by using a Great Ball, since the player is past the point they are allowed to throw a Poké Ball.

Catchability maxes out at 100%, which is displayed as "MAX". Therefore, the Great Ball will not fully double the catchability if the catchability is already at 51% or higher.

===Pokémon GO===
[[File:GO Great Ball.png|thumb|150px|A Great Ball in Pokémon GO]]
Great Balls can be used during wild Pokémon encounters to attempt to capture a wild Pokémon with a {{OBP|catch rate|GO}} modifier of 1.5×.

====Description====
{{movedesc|Poké Balls}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevss|GO}}|A high-performance ball with a higher catch rate than a standard Poké Ball.}}
|}
|}

====Acquisition====
The player is awarded Great Balls when they [[Trainer level|level up]] to any level from 12 to 19.

Great Balls can also be repeatably obtained by
* Spinning the Photo Disc of [[PokéStop]]s or {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s (Lv. 12+)
* [[Field Research]]
* Opening a [[Gift]] (Lv. 12+)

===Pokémon Frienda===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Image}}
In [[Pokémon Frienda]], after a set number of [[move]]s have been used and at least one opposing Pokémon has fainted, the player can insert ¥100 for a chance to catch all of the opposing Pokémon. A spinning wheel determines what Poké Balls are used on the Pokémon, with one of the options being a Great Ball.

[[File:GreatBallEXFireRedLeafGreen92.jpg|thumb|200px|The EX FireRed & LeafGreen printing of {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}]]
{{main|Great Ball (EX FireRed & LeafGreen 92)}}
The '''Great Ball''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English EX Series (the Japanese PCG Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Flight of Legends}} expansion and the English {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}} expansion, with artwork by [[Nakaoka]]. It originally allowed the player to search their deck for any {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} (excluding {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}}), and put it onto their Bench. Then, they shuffle their deck. During the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era) the card was reclassified as an {{TCG|Item card}}, and the card received [[errata]] to change the effect. Now, it lets the player search the top seven cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card, put it in their hand, and then shuffle the other cards back into their deck. Great Ball has been reprinted many times since.

{{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Magma's Great Ball|31}} and {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Aqua's Great Ball|27}} are [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] versions of Great Balls. They are Item cards, and were printed in the English {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion and Japanese {{TCG|Magma Gang VS Aqua Gang: Double Crisis}} expansion. Team Magma's Great Ball lets the player search their deck for a for a Basic Team Magma Pokémon and a [[Basic Fighting Energy (TCG)|Basic]] {{e|Fighting}} [[Basic Fighting Energy (TCG)|Energy]] and put them in their hand. Team Aqua's Great Ball lets the player search their deck for a for a Basic Team Aqua Pokémon and a [[Basic Water Energy (TCG)|Basic]] {{e|Water}} [[Basic Water Energy (TCG)|Energy]] and put them in their hand. For both cards, the deck is shuffled afterward.

The '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[Poké Ball]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is the most basic form of Poké Ball, an item used to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} [[wild Pokémon]].

The eponymous Poké Ball is the most ubiquitous kind of Poké Ball across the entire Pokémon franchise. It is frequently used to represent the Pokémon series as a whole, such as in the Pokémon series' icon in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]].

==In the core series games==
All Pokémon caught in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] are stored in standard Poké Balls when transferred to later generations as well as in the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium games]], due to the games not keeping track of which Ball a Pokémon was caught in.

Prior to the introduction of the [[Strange Ball]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Pokémon with unrecognized Poké Ball IDs appear to be in standard Poké Balls. This occurs when transferring Pokémon to {{g|Sword and Shield}} that were caught with Balls introduced in later games, such as {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, as well as when Pokémon caught with [[Apricorn]] or [[Sport Ball|Sport]] Balls in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are traded to Pokémon {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

[[First partner Pokémon]] are contained in standard Poké Balls, as are all [[gift Pokémon]] prior to {{game|Sword and Shield|s}} and all Pokémon obtained through [[in-game trade]]s prior to [[The Indigo Disk]].

* In {{game|Crystal}}, during a Rooftop Sale at the [[Goldenrod Department Store]], Poké Balls can be bought for {{PDollar}}150 each.
* In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}}, Poké Balls can be bought in [[Black City]]'s Marketplace for {{pdollar}}10000 each if {{tc|Rich Boy}} Pierce is present in the city.

===Effect===
====Manual activation====
When used from the [[Bag]] in a [[wild Pokémon]] encounter, it will attempt to catch the wild Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] modifier of 1×.

If used on an [[Ultra Beast]], the catch rate modifier is instead set to 410/4096× (~0.1×).

The Poké Ball cannot be used in [[Poké Ball#Poké Ball accuracy|certain situations]], such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present or against a [[Island challenge|trial]] Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle (except if used as a [[Snag Ball]] on a [[Shadow Pokémon]]), the opposing Trainer will deflect it, wasting the ball (in [[Generation III]] and earlier) or only the player's turn (from [[Generation IV]] onward). If used on the [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]], it will dodge it, wasting the ball.

====Held item====
{{m|Fling}} fails if the user is holding an Poké Ball.

====Outside of battle====
From [[Generation IV]] onwards, if in [[Bag]] when {{p|Nincada}} evolves into {{p|Ninjask}}, adds a {{p|Shedinja}} to the party provided the {{player}} has room in their team.

===Exchange===
====Generation V====
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black, White}}, {{B2W2|Black 2, and White 2}}, on [[Days of the week|weekends]], 20 Poké Balls can be exchanged for a [[Full Restore]] at [[Anville Town]].

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, once per day, a Poké Ball can be exchanged for a [[Great Ball]] with a {{tc|Roughneck}} at [[Virbank Complex]].

====Generation VI====
In {{g|X and Y}}, once per day, a Poké Ball can be exchanged for a [[Dive Ball]] in [[Ambrette Town]].

Whenever the player defeats an uncaught Pokémon that is not a [[Trainer]]'s [[Mega Evolve]]d Pokémon, they get a chance to [[Caught Pokémon|catch that Pokémon]] with a regular Poké Ball provided automatically. If the Pokémon escapes the Poké Ball, players have the option of purchasing [[Great Ball]]s to use instead. However, if the player chooses not to use a Great Ball, the Pokémon runs away and the stage concludes.

If a Pokémon escapes a Poké Ball, there is a chance that the Pokémon becomes nervous and [[Pokémon Shuffle#Catching Pokémon|Super Catch Power]] activates. This greatly increases the Pokémon's catchability, in addition its catchability that was doubled by the Great Ball. However, the player can only use a Great Ball to capture a Pokémon at this point.

Additionally, a Poké Ball serves as the cursor in the [[Pokédex]], which the player can use to point at any listed Pokémon.

===Pokémon Frienda===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Image}}
In [[Pokémon Frienda]], after a set number of [[move]]s have been used and at least one opposing Pokémon has fainted, the player can insert ¥100 for a chance to catch all of the opposing Pokémon. A spinning wheel determines what Poké Balls are used on the Pokémon, with one of the options being a regular Poké Ball.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Poké Ball SSBB.png|thumb|200px|Render from Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
In the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}}, Poké Balls mainly appear as items which a character can pick up and throw to release a random Pokémon. Most Pokémon will perform a direct attack against the characters on the stage, but some may have other effects. Like many other items, the Poké Balls also do damage simply by hitting other characters.

The Poké Ball also features in a couple of other ways in the Super Smash Bros. series. In Brawl, in [[The Subspace Emissary]], {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} is shown to push the button on the Poké Ball to send out his Pokémon, a mechanic that has not been shown in {{pkmn|animation}}.

====Trophy information====
=====[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]=====
''These balls are used to catch and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be caught, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. [[Master Ball]]s are the strongest type.''

=====[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]=====
''"An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out into battle. Pokémon live in these items which despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to who calls them out. You never know which you will get, but some are devastatingly powerful."''

=====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]=====
[[File:Poké Ball SSB4.png|thumb|240px|The Poké Ball in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''An item used to call out different Pokémon. Which Pokémon emerges is a mystery, but it will aid whoever threw the Poké Ball. Some of the Pokémon contained inside are extremely powerful and will really intensify the battle. It's definitely worth beating your opponents to these!''

'''PAL''': ''A ball holding one of any number of Pokémon just waiting to burst out and help you in battle. Which kind will it be? Well, that's a surprise, but whichever one it is, it'll definitely up the intensity of the battle! If you see one, make sure you're the one to grab it!''

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In {{g|UNITE}}, Trainers use Poké Balls to send out their Pokémon at their team's base, after they have been [[fainted|knocked out]] in battle. In [[Mer Stadium]]'s Catch 'Em Battles, after a [[caught Pokémon]] leaves play through either being [[fainting|knocked out]] or having its timer elapse, the Trainer's original Pokémon is sent back into battle at the same position as the caught Pokémon from its Poké Ball.

During the game's tutorial, a {{UNITE|Pikachu}} from the [[Aeos Research Institute]] is sent out from a Poké Ball twice. This happens before Tutorial (Basics 1) and Tutorial (Basics 2).

==In animation==
[[File:Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|250px|A Poké Ball in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties rarely being used at all, especially prior to {{aniseries|SM}}. The vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls are usually exclusively standard Poké Balls. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the series who spends all of his time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. This could be due to the {{pkmn|games}} not keeping a track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was {{pkmn2|caught}} in prior to [[Generation III]], making the series not showing Pokémon in non-standard Poké Balls concordant with the games.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
{{incomplete|section|missing specific role in Horizons; any similarities/differences to PtS can be listed here}}

===Pokémon Origins===
Poké Balls were seen in every episode of [[Pokémon Origins]], starting with the [[first partner Pokémon]]'s Poké Balls in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]''. When {{OBP|Red|Origins}} started out as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, he typically caught and stored his Pokémon in Poké Balls. As he, his Pokémon, and the Pokémon around him grew stronger, he eventually started using [[Great Ball]]s and [[Ultra Ball]]s instead.

===Pokémon Generations===
Poké Balls were seen several times throughout [[Pokémon Generations]]. They first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where {{ga|Red}} caught a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} with one.

===Pokémon Evolutions===
Poké Balls appeared in most episodes of [[Pokémon Evolutions]], first being seen in ''[[PE01|The Champion]]''.

==In the manga==
Like in {{pkmn|animation}}, standard Poké Balls are the most commonly seen Poké Balls in the various {{pkmn|manga}} that feature them.
[[File:Poké Ball Adventures.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Poké Balls have been seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]] since the very beginning, first appearing in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. Like other Poké Balls in Pokémon Adventures, regular Poké Balls are semi-transparent from the top, allowing the Pokémon inside to be seen. Like in animation, most Trainers keep their Pokémon in regular Poké Balls, although its variations have been seen more commonly in it than in animation.

===Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!===
In [[Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!]], Poké Balls are depicted as solid, with no visual identification as to which Poké Ball is which.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PokéBallRebelClash164.jpg|thumb|200px|Poké Ball]]
{{main|Poké Ball (Jungle 64)}}
'''Poké Ball''' was introduced as an {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Original Series (the Japanese Original Era). First released in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion, it was reprinted in the Japanese {{TCG|Hanada City Gym}} and {{TCG|Kuchiba City Gym}} Theme Decks. It was later reprinted in the {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire}} expansion, with new artwork by [[K. Hoshiba]] and an updated effect. This print was used until the release of {{TCG|EX Unseen Forces}}, which featured new artwork by [[Shin-ichi Yoshikawa]]. This print was used throughout the rest EX Series, and the first part of the Diamond & Pearl Series, up until the release of {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}} expansion. This print featured new artwork by [[Ryo Ueda]].

It was later reclassified in Japan as an {{TCG|Item card}} during the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series, though the English prints did not adopt this naming convention until the release of the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion. The {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} print featured new artwork by [[Hideaki Hakozaki]], and the Japanese {{TCG|Battle Starter Decks}} featured yet another new illustration by [[Noriko Hotta]]. This card was released again in the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion with new artwork by [[Yuri Umemura]]. This print was later released in the {{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}} expansion. This card was reprinted again during the XY Series in the English {{TCG|Kalos Starter Set}} with new artwork by [[5ban Graphics]]. This print was later reprinted in the English {{TCG|XY Trainer Kit}}, and in the {{TCG|Generations}} expansion.

Poké Ball was reprinted again during the Sun & Moon Series as part of the {{TCG|Sun & Moon}} expansion with new artwork by [[Ryo Ueda]]. As of this print, when the player plays it, they flip a coin. If the coin shows heads, they may search their deck for a Pokémon, reveal it, and put it into their hand, shuffling their deck afterwards. It also appeared in the Sword & Shield Series in the {{TCG|Rebel Clash}} expansion with new artwork by [[Studio Bora Inc.]], and as one of the {{TCG|SWSH Black Star Promos}}, with special [[25th Anniversary]] artwork by 5ban Graphics. During the Scarlet & Violet Series it was included in the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion with artwork by Studio Bora Inc.

The '''Park Ball''' (Japanese: '''パークボール''' ''Park Ball'') is a type of [[Poké Ball]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It can be used to re-catch Pokémon migrated to [[Pal Park]].

==In the core series games==
===Price===
{{ItemPrice/head|Poké Balls}}

|}
|}

===Effect===
{{incomplete|section|How does it behave as an unused item in later games?}}
When used in a Catching Show encounter in [[Pal Park]], it catches the encountered Pokémon without fail.

The player does not gain ownership of the caught Pokémon until they complete the Catching Show and choose to place the caught Pokémon in their {{pkmn|Storage System}}. The migrated Pokémon remain in the Poké Balls in which they were contained in [[Generation III]]; no Pokémon can have a Park Ball as its own Poké Ball.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as an unused item, the Park Ball loads the standard Poké Ball graphics and animation instead of its own when used from the Poké Balls pocket in battle.

===Description===

===Acquisition===
When the player participates in Pal Park's Catching Show, they receive six Park Balls exclusively for use within the show. They are not placed in the player's [[Bag]], and the player returns any unused Park Balls they have remaining if they leave the Catching Show.

==Trivia==
* The Park Ball is not programmed as an inventory item in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It was added as one in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and has remained that way since, although it can never actually be seen in the [[Bag]].
** The Park Ball's description was changed in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} to mention [[Ramanas Park]] instead of the [[Pal Park]], despite the fact that Park Balls are unobtainable and are not used in Ramanas Park. It was changed again in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} to mention the Pal Park as it did originally.
* The Park Ball and [[Strange Ball]] are the only Poké Balls that cannot be a Pokémon's own Poké Ball, due to Pokémon {{pkmn2|caught}} in the Pal Park retaining their original Poké Balls.
* The Park Ball, [[Cherish Ball]], and Strange Ball are the only Poké Balls in the core series games that have never been obtainable as items in any core series game.

|}

===Effect===
{{incomplete|section|How does it behave as an unused item in later games?}}
When used in a Catching Show encounter in [[Pal Park]], it catches the encountered Pokémon without fail.

The player does not gain ownership of the caught Pokémon until they complete the Catching Show and choose to place the caught Pokémon in their {{pkmn|Storage System}}. The migrated Pokémon remain in the Poké Balls in which they were contained in [[Generation III]]; no Pokémon can have a Park Ball as its own Poké Ball.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as an unused item, the Park Ball loads the standard Poké Ball graphics and animation instead of its own when used from the Poké Balls pocket in battle.

|}
|}

===Acquisition===
When the player participates in Pal Park's Catching Show, they receive six Park Balls exclusively for use within the show. They are not placed in the player's [[Bag]], and the player returns any unused Park Balls they have remaining if they leave the Catching Show.

==Trivia==
* The Park Ball is not programmed as an inventory item in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It was added as one in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and has remained that way since, although it can never actually be seen in the [[Bag]].
** The Park Ball's description was changed in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} to mention [[Ramanas Park]] instead of the [[Pal Park]], despite the fact that Park Balls are unobtainable and are not used in Ramanas Park. It was changed again in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} to mention the Pal Park as it did originally.
* The Park Ball and [[Strange Ball]] are the only Poké Balls that cannot be a Pokémon's own Poké Ball, due to Pokémon {{pkmn2|caught}} in the Pal Park retaining their original Poké Balls.
* The Park Ball, [[Cherish Ball]], and Strange Ball are the only Poké Balls in the core series games that have never been obtainable as items in any core series game.

List of unobtainable Shiny Pokémon

2025-02-27T19:16:00Z

Pb721: Updated the Rayquaza entry to include it's recent event promotion

This is a '''list of unobtainable [[Shiny Pokémon]]''' in the [[Pokémon games]].

==Availability==
In all [[generation]]s since Shiny Pokémon debuted, there are a few species that cannot be legitimately obtained as Shiny. These Pokémon are commonly referred to as {{DL|Appendix:Fan_terminology|Shiny-locked}}. This can happen if the Pokémon is coded not to appear as Shiny in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, or via in-game {{pkmn2|gift}}s, [[in-game trade]]s, {{pkmn|breeding}}, or has never been distributed as Shiny via {{pkmn2|event}}s.

However, with the exception of [[Pikachu in a cap]], the {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Magearna}} (Magearna's standard form is missing its Shiny form in [[Generation VII]] only), all of these Pokémon have Shiny variants in their respective games' code, regardless of their availability.

Starting from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], all in-game event Pokémon encounters, such as [[Legendary Pokémon]], are programmed to never be Shiny.

===List===
The following is a non-comprehensive list of notable species that have been subject to Shiny locks in a given game, or generation, with some having extremely limited conditions for being obtained as Shiny.

* Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''✔''' can be obtained in-game, either in a specific version, denoted by abbreviations for said game(s), or the generation as a whole.
* Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''~''' could not be obtained in-game directly, but could be acquired through [[Event Pokémon|event distributions]] or [[transfer]] from other games.
* Shiny Pokémon denoted with a '''✘''' could not be obtained by any means, either in a specific version, denoted by abbreviations for said game(s), or the generation as a whole.

Pokémon ex (TCG Pocket)

[[File:PikachuexGeneticApex96.png|thumb|200px|{{TCG ID|Genetic Apex|Pikachu ex|96}}, an example of a Pokémon ex]]
'''Pokémon ex''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンex''' ''Pokémon ex'') are a type of Pokémon found in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]]. They were first introduced in the {{TCGP|Genetic Apex}} expansion. Pokémon ex have a stylized {{TCGP Icon|ex}} graphic on the card name.

Pokémon ex in Pokémon TCG Pocket are based on the {{TCG|Pokémon ex}} that appear in the Scarlet & Violet Series in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]; compared to other Pokémon, they typically have more {{TCG|HP}} and stronger attacks. Additionally, Pokémon ex may have two attacks, whereas other Pokémon in Pokémon TCG Pocket only have one. Pokémon ex have the '''Pokémon ex rule''' written in the bottom right corner of the card in place of a [[Pokédex entry]], which states that the opponent takes two points instead of one when a Pokémon ex is [[Knocked Out]].

Pokémon ex have the same [[Evolution#In the TCG|Evolution]] stage they would have as a regular Pokémon; for example, {{TCG ID|Genetic Apex|Moltres ex|255}} is a Basic Pokémon, while {{TCG ID|Genetic Apex|Blastoise ex|256}} is a Stage 2 Pokémon that evolves from {{TCGP|Wartortle}}. Because the names "Blastoise" and "Blastoise {{TCGP Icon|ex}}" are different, players can have up to two copies of each card in a deck, as per the deck building rules.

Pokémon ex cards are all digital holofoils, with each card's border featuring a multicolored pattern. On Pokémon ex cards of {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|4}} rarity, the Pokémon artwork extends beyond and above the illustration window. Unlike Pokémon ex in the Trading Card Game, the rest of the artwork is not even partially visible below the illustration window. Pokémon ex cards of {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|4}}, {{rar/TCGP|Star|2}}, and {{rar/TCGP|Crown}} rarities feature additional visual effects layered above the respective cards.

[[File:PikachuexGeneticApex96.png|thumb|200px|{{TCG ID|Genetic Apex|Pikachu ex|96}}, an example of a Pokémon ex]]
'''Pokémon ex''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンex''' ''Pokémon ex'') are a type of Pokémon found in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]]. They were first introduced in the {{TCGP|Genetic Apex}} expansion. Pokémon ex have a stylized {{TCGP Icon|ex}} graphic on the card name.

Pokémon ex in Pokémon TCG Pocket are based on the {{TCG|Pokémon ex}} that appear in the Scarlet & Violet Series in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]; compared to other Pokémon, they typically have more {{TCG|HP}} and stronger attacks. Additionally, Pokémon ex may have two attacks, whereas other Pokémon in Pokémon TCG Pocket only have one. Pokémon ex have the '''Pokémon ex rule''' written in the bottom right corner of the card in place of a [[Pokédex entry]], which states that the opponent takes two points instead of one when a Pokémon ex is [[Knocked Out]].

Pokémon ex have the same [[Evolution#In the TCG|Evolution]] stage they would have as a regular Pokémon; for example, {{TCG ID|Genetic Apex|Moltres ex|255}} is a Basic Pokémon, while {{TCG ID|Genetic Apex|Blastoise ex|256}} is a Stage 2 Pokémon that evolves from {{TCGP|Wartortle}}. Because the names "Blastoise" and "Blastoise {{TCGP Icon|ex}}" are different, players can have up to two copies of each card in a deck, as per the deck building rules.

Pokémon ex cards are all digital holofoils, with each card's border featuring a multicolored pattern. On Pokémon ex cards of {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|4}} rarity, the Pokémon artwork extends beyond and above the illustration window. Unlike Pokémon ex in the Trading Card Game, the rest of the artwork is not even partially visible below the illustration window. Pokémon ex cards of {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|4}}, {{rar/TCGP|Star|2}}, and {{rar/TCGP|Crown}} rarities feature additional visual effects layered above the respective cards.

{{AbilityInfobox/desc|VII|Normal-type moves become Electric-type moves. The power of those moves is boosted a little.}}

'''Galvanize''' (Japanese: '''エレキスキン''' ''Electric Skin'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation VII]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Geodude}}'s [[evolution]]ary line.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation VII====
Galvanize causes all {{type|Normal}} moves used by the Pokémon to become {{type|Electric}} and receive a 20% [[power]] boost. Normal type moves that become Electric type in this manner can activate {{a|Lightning Rod}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}}, and {{a|Motor Drive}}. If a move is affected by Galvanize and is used under {{m|Electric Terrain}}, it will receive an additional 30% [[power]] boost from {{m|Electric Terrain}} (50% prior to [[Generation VIII]]).

====Generation VIII====
If {{m|Max Strike}} is selected with Galvanize, it turns into {{m|Max Lightning}} when used.

====Affected moves====
The table below lists the moves affected by Galvanize, as well as the Pokémon that can have Galvanize and learn those moves.

Although the following moves are affected by the Ability, they currently cannot be learned by any Pokémon with Galvanize. They may, however, be called via {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mirror Move}}, {{m|Copycat}}, or {{m|Mimic}}, or be used by a Pokémon that gained Galvanize by an Ability like {{a|Trace}} or {{a|Receiver}} or a move such as {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Role Play}}.
