Because of this, Emboar may be based on {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}, a pig demon from the Chinese tale ''{{wp|Journey to the West}}''. {{p|Infernape}} is also based on a character from the novel, {{wp|Sun Wukong}}, and has a similar design. Emboar looks much like a {{wp|pig}} or {{wp|wild boar}} in a {{wp|wrestling singlet}}. The swirl pattern around its abdomen resembles the patterns on a {{wp|Ding (vessel)|ding}} or {{wp|Pottery of ancient Greece|ancient Greek pottery}}. The fire in its Shiny coloration refers to blue fire, which generally indicates a higher temperature than orange fire but may also be caused by certain chemicals burning at a normal temperature.<br /> <br /> ====Name origin====<br /> Emboar is a combination of ''ember'' and ''boar''. It may also derive from the terms ''emperor'', ''caesar'', or ''tsar'', all of which are used as imperial titles.<br /> <br /> Enbuoh may be a combination of 炎 ''en'' (flame), 豚 ''buta'' (pig), 武 ''bu'' (martial arts), ブー ''bū'' (oink), and 王 ''ō'' (king).

<p>SubatomicCake: Fixed a typo</p> <hr /> <div>{{incomplete|article|History section}}<br /> [[File:Pokemon_website_logo.png|thumb|200px|right|Logo used for the website until the 2010 overhaul]]<br /> [[File:2000pokemonworld.png|thumb|200px|right|Logo used for the website in 2000]]<br /> '''Pok{{tt|é|Officially uses regular &amp;quot;e&amp;quot;}}mon.com''', known as '''Pokémon World''' prior to 2000, is the official international [[Pokémon]] website which was created on January 8, 1998&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.whois.net/whois/pokemon.com WHOIS information for Pokémon.com]&lt;/ref&gt;. It has gone by many different names throughout its history, such as '''Pokémon-games.com''' and '''Go-Pokemon.com''', though has finally settled on the simple Pokémon.com nominer. Most iterations have had an online [[Pokédex]]. On January 11, 2010, the website was overhauled, now having full episodes, [[Pokémon.com online games|new online games]], and Trading Card Game information, among others. The design was overhauled yet again on January 27, 2014, where the basic layout was &quot;simplified&quot; along with further linking the official website with the TCG site (such as now incorporating the same avatar system). This also updated the Pokédex to contain all Pokémon up to Generation VI and the showed the return of the &quot;Gotta catch 'em all!&quot; slogan.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> {{sectionstub}}<br /> <br /> ==Sections==<br /> ===Online Pokédex===<br /> [[File:Online English Pokédex.png|thumb|300px|[http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokedex/ The online Pokédex]]]<br /> The site features an online [[National Pokédex]].<br /> <br /> It, like all other [[Pokédex]]es allows the user to search for Pokémon by name (Basic Search Mode), and also by type, Ability, or size (Advanced Search Mode). The search function is in the left column. Search results for the basic mode are displayed in the left column itself, but results for the advanced mode are displayed in the middle column.<br /> <br /> The middle column displays the Pokémon's image, info, type, Abilities and weaknesses. It has three colors, blue for displaying results of the advanced search mode, grey for the Pokémon's info, and orange for showing evolutions.<br /> <br /> The right column shows height, weight, species, [[Stats|HP, attack, defense, special attack, special defense, speed]], and a dark silhouette of the Pokémon. It also gives the user an option to add that Pokémon to their favorites (if registered on the site) and to search the whole site for that Pokémon.<br /> * For [[Generation V]] Pokémon, there are entries from both Black and White versions.<br /> <br /> After the 2014 January update, the Pokédex was completely redesigned and now includes [[Generation VI]] Pokémon. The new interface has a grid-like structure and a much more advanced search system. As to coincide with the new Generation VI games, each Pokémon has a choice of either their X or Y Pokédex entry.<br /> <br /> What was also added was further options below the basic Pokédex info, including the ability to share the selected Pokémon via several social media and included a list of all currently aired Anime Episodes and available Trading Cards including that Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Video games===<br /> Before the overhaul, the video games section had information of the games, with some of them having mini-sites and sub-sites. After the overhaul, the section was expanded to include game strategies, and information about video game Organized Play. However, many of the game mini-sites were removed.<br /> <br /> ===Trading Card Game===<br /> Before the overhaul, most TCG news was on Go-Pokémon.com. However, after the overhaul, the TCG was brought to Pokémon.com. The Trading Card Game section of the site includes sets from {{TCG|EX Ruby &amp; Sapphire}} to the current set, strategies, and news. Most news articles and images from Go-Pokémon were not transferred over, and thus have been lost.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon TV===<br /> Before the overhaul, the television section simply had synopses of almost every anime episode. <br /> After the overhaul, a changing selection of episodes can be viewed, along with summaries and screenshots for every episode and movie. Rather than separating the episodes by seasons, each are categorized by 'region'; with the current options being 'Kanto Channel', 'Johto Channel', 'Hoenn Channel', 'Sinnoh Channel' and the 'Unova Channel'.<br /> <br /> A [[Pokémon TV]] mobile application was also introduced, which can be downloaded for free from Apple's App Store or through Google Play.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon Fun Zone===<br /> [[File:Funzone logo.png|thumb|200px|right|The Pokémon Fun Zone Logo]]<br /> The Pokémon Fun Zone contains games, wallpapers, and screensavers. Before the 2010 update, the games were mostly based on [[Generation III]] and {{game|Platinum}}; after the update the games featured a larger number of {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}}, all translated from the Japanese [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]]. [[Pokémon.com online games|The games released after the site revamp]] are interactive, and allow players to earn Trainer Tokens, also brought over from the Pokémon Daisuki Club. The games that were previously available on the site are not available any longer.<br /> <br /> ===News &amp; Events===<br /> {{incomplete|section|Prior to complete transformation in 2010 (if it existed)}}<br /> The News &amp; Events section has news about events and other things. It currently has news that dates back to September 2011.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon Trainer Club===<br /> The Pokémon Trainer Club is the equivalent of Japan's [http://www.pokemon.jp/ Pokémon Daisuki Club]. Many features have been brought over from the Pokémon Daisuki Club, including customizable Trainer personalities for each user. Outfits and accessories are bought with Trainer Tokens, which are rewarded when playing the online games, reading news articles, and collecting stamps. Users must have a Pokémon Trainer Club account in order to register high scores in the online games or to earn tokens. Anyone who has a Pokémon Trainer Club account can also keep track of their Organized Play statistics.<br /> ====Stamps====<br /> Virtual stamps can be collected by doing various things on the website as well as by participating in official Play! Pokémon events. As stamps are collected, the account's level is increased and Trainer Tokens are earned.<br /> * Online Game All-Star: Level 1 - Play 1 minigame on Pokemon.com.<br /> :* Level 2 - Play 3 minigames on Pokemon.com.<br /> * Episode Expert: Level 1 - Watch 1 episode on Pokémon TV.<br /> :* Level 2 - Watch 4 episodes on Pokémon TV.<br /> * Looking Good! - Modify the default Trainer avatar on your Pokémon Trainer Club profile.<br /> * Pokémon Explorer: Level 1 - Look up 5 Pokémon in the online Pokédex.<br /> :* Level 2 - Look up 25 Pokémon in the online Pokédex.<br /> :* Level 3 - Look up 50 Pokémon in the online Pokédex.<br /> * Daily Visitor: Level 1 - Sign in to the Pokémon Trainer Club 3 days in a row.<br /> :* Level 2 - Sign in to the Pokémon Trainer Club 6 days in a row.<br /> :* Level 3 - Sign in to the Pokémon Trainer Club 9 days in a row.<br /> * Regionals Competitor: 2014 - Play in a regional Pokémon Regional Championships.<br /> * Nationals Competitor: 2014 - Play in a Pokémon National Championships.<br /> * Worlds Competitor: 2014 - Play in the Pokémon World Championships.<br /> * Newshound: Level 1 - Read at least 3 news articles on Pokemon.com.<br /> :* Level 2 - Read at least 6 news articles on Pokemon.com.<br /> :* Level 3 - Read at least 9 news articles on Pokemon.com.<br /> :* Level 4 - Read at least 15 news articles on Pokemon.com.<br /> * Trading Cards 1 - Look up 10 cards in the Pokémon TCG card database.<br /> :* Trading Cards 2 - Look up 25 cards in the Pokémon TCG card database.<br /> :* Trading Cards 3 - Look up 50 cards in the Pokémon TCG card database.<br /> * Welcome to Kalos - Check out Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie in the online Pokédex.<br /> * Super Shopper: Level 1 - Redeem 250 Trainer Tokens in the Trainer Store.<br /> :* Level 2: Redeem 500 Trainer Tokens in the Trainer Store.<br /> :* Level 3: Redeem 750 Trainer Tokens in the Trainer Store.<br /> <br /> ==Defunct sections==<br /> ===Pokémon Center===<br /> [[File:Pokémon Center online.png|thumb|260px|The Pokémon Center website on its last day of operation]]<br /> The Pokémon Center is an online store where people can buy different kinds of Pokémon merchandise over the internet. It also features exclusive items only available at the online store. The store closed on January 31, 2008. When it was closed, it was claimed that Pokémon merchandise would now be mainly distributed by other retailers.<br /> <br /> It is set to reopen on August 6, 2014; some chosen fans received invitations that lets them access the online store sooner, on July 2, 2014.<br /> <br /> ===Mailbag===<br /> The Pokémon.com mailbag was an official source of information from the company directors. Fans could write in and ask questions about the games, anime, and other aspects of the franchise. It had been updated quite regularly, often providing information that was not available in other sources (such as the English name of [[Moose|one character from the eleventh movie]]), but the last update came in October/November 2009. When the site was revamped in January 2010, the mailbag section was removed.<br /> <br /> ===Media player===<br /> The site once contained a media player that played music from the {{OBP|Pokémon X|CD}} collection. Like the mailbag, it was removed in the revamp.<br /> <br /> ==Errors==<br /> Throughout Pokémon.com's lifespan, it has been notorious for errors. Some of these are as minor as referring to [[Team Galactic]] as [[Team Rocket]], others as important as stating that {{p|Phione}} was a [[legendary Pokémon]] (although this is a subject of debate). Other errors are stated below.<br /> * After the 2010 overhaul, in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}'s overview in the animation section, [[Mt. Coronet]] was noted. However, Mt. Coronet is in [[Sinnoh]], and is in the {{series|Diamond &amp; Pearl}}. This was later fixed, with [[Mt. Chimney]] being noted instead.<br /> * The site once stated that [[Jessie]] was 12 years old.<br /> * Pokémon.com also mentioned that the shadowed figure in ''[[Unbeatable]]'' (and, by source, ''[[Pokémon Symphonic Medley]]'') was [[Luna#Pokémon|Red Lightning]], although the character did not appear in an episode until after ''Unbeatable'' ended its run as an opening theme.<br /> * In an article for ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]'', the site referred to [[Ash's Staraptor|Ash's at-the-time Staravia]] as Staraptor.<br /> * On the subpage for [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], Pokémon.com made these two statements:<br /> ** &quot;And if they're really lucky, they might even be able to catch the elusive (and powerful) Pokémon, Mew!&quot; despite that {{p|Mew}} cannot be found in the wild.<br /> ** &quot;Catching the Legendary Mew will require lots of luck!&quot; while showing a picture of the {{p|Mewtwo}} encounter in [[Cerulean Cave]].<br /> *** Similarly, a comment for an image on [[Pokémon Emerald Version]]'s subpage states &quot;The [[Kanto]] region has never looked better!&quot;. Pokémon Emerald took place in [[Hoenn]].<br /> * In the game Gothita's Portrait Panic sometimes a picture of {{p|Victini}} will be displayed, but it will say {{p|Foongus}} in the caption underneath.<br /> * In the Trainer store, a {{p|Scraggy}} costume was labeled &quot;{{p|Scrafty}} Costume,&quot; and a {{p|Roserade}} costume was labeled &quot;{{p|Roselia}} Costume.&quot;<br /> * The episode guide for ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' identified [[character of the day]] [[Roland]] as Ian.<br /> ** Similarly, the episode guide for ''[[BW109|New Places...Familiar Faces!]]'' identified character of the day [[Nanette]] as Natasha.<br /> * The Pokémon section in the preview of [[Pokémon X and Y]] shows {{p|Spritzee}} using {{m|Aromatherapy}} and labels the move as {{m|Draining Kiss}}, a move seen in {{p|Swirlix}}'s section.<br /> * ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'' was referred to as the fifteenth episode of [[Pokémon the Series: XY]] instead of the fifth.<br /> * The blurb meant for ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]'' was found in the episode guide for [[XY011|the episode before it]] instead.<br /> * The card database displayed the image of a print of [[Lugia-EX (Plasma Storm 108)|Lugia]] on the page for [[Deoxys-EX (BW Promo 82)]]. It also mistakenly called it Deoxys ex.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * Several (but not all) Pokémon namespaces (such as &quot;bulbasaur.com&quot;) redirect to either Pokémon.com or [http://www.nintendo.com/ Nintendo.com], and others, such as Manaphy.com and Darkrai.com, redirected to their respective minisites.

<p>SubatomicCake: Added the ORAS tag to a few pokeballs in this section: Dive ball, nest ball, timer ball, assuming no changes to catch rates since XY.</p> <hr /> <div>{{Featured}}<br /> [[File:Allballs2.png|thumb|250px|right|The 26 Poké Ball variants found in the [[core series]]]]<br /> [[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|right|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s original concept]]<br /> A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world. Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in Poké Balls, while any number of other Poké Balls can be held in the [[Bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]]. <br /> <br /> The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.<br /> <br /> The [[History of Poké Balls|invention of Poké Balls]] apparently occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon prior to the mass production of the Balls that occurs in modern times under [[Silph Co.]] and the [[Devon Corporation]]. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them. In the games, [[Drayden]] claims that Poké Balls did not exist during his childhood; however, due to Poké Balls being in the sunken ship in ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', it is implied that in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Poké Balls were first made at least 300 years ago.<br /> <br /> Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as magical creatures (Japanese: {{tt|魔獣|まじゅう}} ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until Poké Balls allowed the various magical creatures to be stored easily.<br /> <br /> Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of both [[Battle Frontier]]s feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[Bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s Bag prominently features a Poké Ball.<br /> <br /> ==Mechanics and design==<br /> [[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|280px|right|A schematic displaying Poké Ball size, storage and mechanics]]<br /> <br /> Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, convert the Pokémon to a form of energy, pull it into its center, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly re-converted from energy into matter. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will either be destroyed (in the games and some manga) or will return to the Trainer (anime), who can attempt once again to capture the Pokémon. A Pokémon who does not escape the ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}.<br /> <br /> [[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|250px|right|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]<br /> <br /> Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how a captured Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a &quot;Pokémon-friendly&quot; environment that is &quot;designed for comfort&quot;. All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. In the manga, Bugsy refers to his &quot;capture net&quot; as being the net that is supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.<br /> <br /> [[File:Iris Dragonite inside Poké Ball.png|thumb|250px|right|[[Iris's Dragonite]] inside a Poké Ball in the anime]]<br /> <br /> Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in Bags.<br /> <br /> As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodelled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several anime episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Dark Device]] and the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.<br /> <br /> [[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|200px|left|[[Paul]] releasing {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}|thumb]]<br /> When a Pokémon is released from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a distinctive sound effect and a bright light as it returns from its energy form and materialize nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball in which the Pokémon is contained in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range, and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that no ill effects will make themselves apparent. Releasing Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball. <br /> <br /> A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, and if a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon can't be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{adv|Red}}'s battle against {{adv|Giovanni}}, where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.<br /> <br /> Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], and [[Brock's Croagunk]], which tend to do so in every episode they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.<br /> <br /> Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is &quot;marked&quot; by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright. In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash was able to catch his {{AP|Charmander}} in a Poké Ball despite his previous ownership by [[Damian|another Trainer]], though it may have lost its &quot;mark&quot; when it abandoned its previous Trainer by refusing to return to its old Poké Ball. Earlier in the same episode, Ash failed to catch the same Charmander while it still held its loyalty, despite its weak condition.<br /> <br /> Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, {{mov|Rebecca}} claims that the &quot;Poké Ball Management System&quot; was no longer working without power. There has been no mention of any such system since.<br /> <br /> Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime. In the games, a [[Ball Capsule]] and [[seal]]s can release special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.<br /> {{-}}<br /> <br /> ==Poké Ball accuracy==<br /> In some scenarios, a Poké Ball can miss the wild Pokémon completely (in contrast to breaking if the Poké Ball does not successfully capture the Pokémon) or cannot be thrown:<br /> <br /> * In [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating &quot;You missed the &lt;sc&gt;Pok&lt;/sc&gt;é&lt;sc&gt;mon&lt;/sc&gt;!&quot;.<br /> * In Generation I as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|ghost|literal}}s in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] would dodge any ball thrown at them unless they were unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge even if it is unmasked.<br /> * A Poké Ball cannot be thrown during a wild [[Double Battle]] or [[Horde Encounter]] unless all wild Pokémon are defeated except one, with the game claiming &quot;It's no good! It's impossible to aim unless there is only one Pokémon!&quot; in Horde Encounters, and &quot;It's no good! It's impossible to aim when there are two Pokémon!&quot; in Double Battles. However, in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, it is possible to snag a [[Shadow Pokémon]] even if there are two on the opposing side of the field. <br /> * In [[Generation V]], when encountering two wild Pokemon in [[dark grass]] (without the aid of an NPC partner), it is not possible to issue commands to a Pokémon during the same turn as throwing a Poké Ball (though it is still possible to throw a Poké Ball if one Pokémon is in the middle of a two-turn move).<br /> * From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onward, it is not possible to use a Poké Ball on a Pokémon which is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable state}} of a move (such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}).<br /> <br /> ===Capture chances===<br /> {{main|Catch rate}}<br /> <br /> ==Types of Poké Balls==<br /> [[File:PBR Battle Start.jpg|thumb|right|A Double Battle begins in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]]]<br /> In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 26 different varieties of Poké Balls, all differing from each other in some effect, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of the Poké Ball has a unique animation when they open to draw in a Pokémon and when a Pokémon is sent out, and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its status screen.<br /> <br /> ===Introduced in Generation I===<br /> The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, and have appeared and been available in all games since then, with the exception of the Safari Ball, which is only available in Generations I, III, and IV. They were developed by [[Silph Co.]], with the development of the [[Master Ball]] factoring into the plot of the Generation I games and their remakes heavily.<br /> <br /> {{Item<br /> |name=Poké Ball<br /> |jp=モンスターボール<br /> |jpt=Monster Ball<br /> |gen=I<br /> |bag=Poké Balls<br /> |buyable=yes<br /> |buy={{tt|200|10000 at Black City; 150 at Goldenrod Sale}}<br /> |sell=100<br /> |effect=Allows the {{player}} to catch [[wild Pokémon]].<br /> |effect2=Exchange twenty with a man in [[Anville Town]] for a [[Full Restore]].{{dotw|Saturday}}{{dotw|Sunday}}{{sup/5|BW}}&lt;br/&gt; Once per day, exchange one with a Roughneck in [[Virbank Complex]] for a [[#Great Ball|Great Ball]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}&lt;br/&gt; Once per day, exchange one with a man in [[Ambrette Town]] for a [[#Dive Ball|Dive Ball]]{{sup/6|XY}}<br /> |catchrate=1×<br /> |descstad=A &lt;sc&gt;Ball&lt;/sc&gt; thrown at wild Pokémon to catch them.<br /> |descgsc=An item for catching &lt;sc&gt;Pok&lt;/sc&gt;é&lt;sc&gt;mon&lt;/sc&gt;.<br /> |descrse=A tool for catching wild &lt;sc&gt;Pok&lt;/sc&gt;é&lt;sc&gt;mon&lt;/sc&gt;.<br /> |descfrlg=A &lt;sc&gt;Ball&lt;/sc&gt; thrown to catch a wild &lt;sc&gt;Pok&lt;/sc&gt;é&lt;sc&gt;mon&lt;/sc&gt;.

These Poké Balls were not available in [[Generation III]] or in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but made their return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Seven of them are made from [[Apricorn]]s by [[Kurt]], while the only one that is not is seen by some to be a counterpart to the Safari Ball in that it is only used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in [[National Park]]. All eight of these Poké Balls have the same animation as a normal Poké Ball when sending out or recalling a Pokémon, rather than the variety of colors and special effects the Poké Ball variants released in other generations have.<br /> <br /> When a Pokémon in one of these Balls is used in a link battle in Generation IV, it will appear as an ordinary Poké Ball, regardless of if the link is made with a Johto or Sinnoh-based game. Using a Pokémon in one of these Balls in one of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} facilities will show it as it should appear during the battle, but as an ordinary Poké Ball if the battle is saved to the [[Vs. Recorder]] and played back. Trading a Pokémon in one of these Poké Ball variations into {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} or registering it in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] will cause it to display as a normal Poké Ball, though if the Pokémon is traded back into a Johto-based game or transferred forward into Generation V, it will regain its variant Ball.<br /> <br /> In Generation IV, none of these Poké Balls can be held due to not existing in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.<br /> <br /> In Pokémon data, information for these Poké Balls on the status screen and in battle is stored in a separate location from the variants introduced in other generations, so that the Pokémon can be traded back to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum from HeartGold and SoulSilver and display an ordinary Poké Ball there (the data space for these balls being ignored in the earlier games). <br /> <br /> {{Item<br /> |name=Level Ball<br /> |jp=レベルボール<br /> |jpt=Level Ball<br /> |gen=II<br /> |bag=Poké Balls<br /> |sell=150<br /> |effect=Allows the {{player}} to catch [[wild Pokémon]];

While the main four Poké Balls and the Safari Ball returned to central usage, these specialty Balls were only available at certain [[Poké Mart]]s in the Hoenn region, and the Luxury Ball only available via completion of certain quests in the games. Generally, they can be seen to be counterparts to Generation II's Apricorn Balls, which were not available in the Generation III games, with the Nest Ball and Level Ball, Net Ball and Lure Ball, and Luxury Ball and Friend Ball being very similar in effect to each other.<br /> <br /> The Premier Ball is functionally identical to the standard Poké Ball; it is simply a premium (hence the name) given with the purchase of ten Poké Balls. Only one is given with each purchase of ten or more, so buying 20 or more Poké Balls still only yields one gift Premier Ball. To obtain multiple Premier Balls, the Poké Balls must be purchased in separate transactions of 10 at a time.<br /> <br /> These Ball variants continued to be available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, though most must be traded in from a Hoenn-based game, with only the Timer Ball and Repeat Ball available to be bought, and even then, only in {{OBP|Two Island|town}}. The Dive Ball's effect was altered, with it now having greater chance to catch Pokémon encountered on water rather than under it, as Hoenn-based games are the only ones where wild Pokémon can be encountered while using {{m|Dive}}. In Generation IV, all but the Dive Ball are readily available to be bought, though the Dive Ball can still be obtained through use of [[Pal Park]] and other special events. The Johto-based HeartGold and SoulSilver make the Timer, Repeat, and Luxury Balls hard to find once more, though the returning Apricorn Balls help to take their place. All of these Poké Balls can be purchased in Generation V. Additionally, the Timer Ball's effectiveness now increases much more quickly as the battle goes on.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Poké Balls introduced in Generation I, these Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].<br /> <br /> {{Item<br /> |name=Premier Ball<br /> |jp=プレミアボール<br /> |jpt=Premier Ball<br /> |gen=III<br /> |bag=Poké Balls<br /> |buyable=yes<br /> |sell=100<br /> |effect=Allows the {{player}} to catch [[wild Pokémon]].<br /> |catchrate=1×<br /> |descrse=A rare &lt;sc&gt;Ball&lt;/sc&gt;

A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its 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!]]''.<br /> <br /> Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out.<br /> <br /> The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.<br /> <br /> The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to appear in the anime, this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|04}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.<br /> [[File:Poke Ball Recent Capture.png|thumb|240px|left|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in the anime]]<br /> Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received Fast Balls in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received Lure Balls. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a giant {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock.<br /> <br /> The Master Ball itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called &quot;[[Nero]]&quot;. Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.<br /> [[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|right|240px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]<br /> The Generation III specialty balls have only been seen in cameos, with only the Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appearing, in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.<br /> <br /> The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.<br /> <br /> Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with special designs on them, usually to denote an organization.<br /> <br /> Most notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, is kept by both {{Ash}} and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry.<br /> <br /> In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|professor}}. This was again demonstrated in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.<br /> <br /> ====History====<br /> {{main|History of Poké Balls}}<br /> <br /> ====Appearance====<br /> &lt;gallery perrow=4&gt;<br /> File:Master Ball anime.png|The Master Ball<br /> File:Safari Ball anime.png|An early Safari Ball<br /> File:GS Ball anime.png|The [[GS Ball]]<br /> File:Fast Ball anime.png|Fast Balls<br /> File:Heavy Lure Balls anime.png|Two Lure Balls and a Heavy Ball<br /> File:Park Ball anime.png|A [[National Park|Park]] Ball{{tt|*|Generation II}}<br /> File:Luxury Repeat Ball anime.png|A Luxury Ball and Repeat Ball<br /> File:Masked Marauder Dark Ball.png|A Dark Ball<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Pokédex entries====<br /> {{Animedexheader|Kanto}}<br /> {{Animedexbody|EP001|Poké Ball|Ash's Pokédex|While being {{pkmn|training|trained}}, a Pokémon ''usually'' stays inside its Poké Ball. However, there are many exceptions. Some Pokémon hate being confined.}}<br /> {{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}<br /> <br /> ===In Pokémon Origins===<br /> Besides the regular Poké Ball, the other Generation I variations of it were also seen during the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series. In ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]'', it was shown that [[Giovanni]] kept his strongest Pokémon, {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Rhydon}}, within Ultra Balls. In ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'', {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was seen catching an {{p|Arbok}} with a Great Ball and a {{p|Chansey}} with a Safari Ball. He also used Ultra Balls to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.<br /> <br /> The Master Ball only appeared in a demonstration in ''[[PO03|File 3 - Giovanni]]'', as it was still under development at the time. After [[Team Rocket]] was driven out of the [[Silph Co.]] building by Red, the development of the Master Ball was put on hold for a while.<br /> <br /> Additionally, in Pokémon Origins, the sound effects and bright light used when a Trainer is catching, sending out, or recalling a Pokémon differ in comparison to the sound effects and lights that are used in the main Pokémon anime, more resembling the effects seen in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Great Ball PO.png|A Great Ball<br /> File:Ultra Ball PO.png|An Ultra Ball<br /> File:Safari Ball PO.png|{{OBP|Red|Origins}} holding a Safari Ball<br /> File:Master Ball PO.png|The Master Ball<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> [[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|right|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]<br /> In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.<br /> <br /> ===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===<br /> In the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle. In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Trainers must obtain a license before they are legally allowed to purchase Poké Balls.<br /> <br /> It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.<br /> <br /> ===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===<br /> In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the main characters generally do not capture Pokémon, rather, they befriend them. Although [[Almond]], one of the main characters, is known to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is not actually depicted capturing or raising any Pokémon. In fact, in the bonus materials of {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|2}}, in which the cast of the manga meet {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in a series of crossovers, it is revealed that [[Hazel]] and [[Coconut]] do not even know what Poké Balls are. When Ash and Misty explain that they are used to capture Pokémon, they both proceed to attempt to use them to capture Almond, as he is each of their love interest.<br /> <br /> ===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br /> [[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}}'s Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]<br /> In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches Misty's Gyarados (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]''). Like in the anime and games, specialty balls do exist, and {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively. It has also been shown that unlike the games, Pokémon placed in their balls recover from status conditions; however, like in the games, they do not recover health points. Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members and [[Frontier Brain]]s use Ultra Balls.<br /> <br /> ===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===<br /> In [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]], Poké Balls are depicted as solid, with no visual identification as to which Poké Ball is which. In ''[[GDZ15|Special Chapter - Get Pikachu!]]'', it is revealed that when [[Shu]] met {{TP|Shu|Pikachu}}, Pikachu's Poké Ball had been abandoned in a forest because it was defective and it was causing Pikachu's electricity to be released throughout the surrounding area.<br /> <br /> ===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===<br /> In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], Poké Balls are often shown as transparent to identify when a Pokémon is inside. They usually have their typical appearance from far away, suggesting that they may not always be transparent, or are only see-through from up close. Pokémon appear to be able to see the world outside of their Poké Balls, as shown in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]'', when {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} sees [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] inside his Poké Ball, and they talk to each other. In ''[[PM001|Introducing the Pokémon Clefairy!!]]'', when {{PPM|Green}} is choosing Charmander as his [[starter Pokémon]], he is shown to be able to pick up and lift Charmander directly from the Poké Ball without throwing it first.<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Brock Pikachu PM.png|{{PPM|Red's Pikachu}} inside his Poké Ball, in his debut appearance<br /> File:Green Charmander Poké Ball PPM.png|[[Green's Charmander]] being lifted from its Poké Ball<br /> File:Heavy Ball PMHGSS.png|Heavy Ball in Pocket Monsters HGSS<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> {{left clear}}<br /> <br /> ==In the TCG==<br /> [[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]<br /> Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG.<br /> <br /> * The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It features a TCG-centric mechanic, requiring a {{TCG|coin}} flip to search the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} to be put in the hand. Most of the Poké Ball variants, both adapted from the games and exclusive to the TCG, are similar to this, with several requiring coin flips to use their effect.<br /> * The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''. The [[Ultra Ball (Dark Explorers 102)|Ultra Ball]] itself would appear in [[Dark Explorers (TCG)|Dark Explorers]], with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the hand to search the deck for a Pokémon.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed &amp; LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed &amp; LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have the player search the top 7 cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card and put it in the hand.<br /> * The [[Master Ball (Gym Challenge 116)|Master Ball]], first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck. In {{TCG|Plasma Blast}}, {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Master Ball|94}} was changed to an [[Ace Spec]] that allowed the player to search the entire deck for any one Pokémon.<br /> * Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has not appeared since.<br /> * Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It also has not appeared since.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge and has not appeared since.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first, and vice versa.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search through their deck for a Pokémon who has a retreat cost of 3 or more and put it in their hand, whereas the {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows them to do the same with a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less.<br /> <br /> ==In the Super Smash Bros. series==<br /> The Pokémon series is represented in the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}} by a Poké Ball icon. The first two games show the Poké Ball with both halves and the center filled in, while the third and fourth goes with Generation IV's redesigned icon with only the top half filled in.<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Smash Bros Pokemon Symbol.png|The Pokémon series's symbol from ''SSB'' and ''Melee''<br /> File:Smash Bros Brawl Pokemon Symbol.png|The Pokémon series's symbol from ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4''<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> [[File:Poké Ball SSBB.png|thumb|right|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]<br /> Poké Balls in their base design are an item in the Super Smash Bros. series. First appearing in the original game, they can be picked up and thrown by the characters to do damage, and, on striking the ground, release a random Pokémon. In the original, the Pokémon that can be released are {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, or {{p|Starmie}}. In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]], the listing changes, and now the Pokémon released include Generation II Pokémon, with {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Weezing}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, or {{p|Celebi}} appearing. {{p|Ditto}} was also planned to appear, acting as a clone of the character who released it for a short while, but was dummied out of the final game and can only be accessed through [[cheating]], where it does nothing. In the third installment, [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]] Pokémon were added, and now {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Torchic}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Piplup}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Weavile}}, or {{p|Manaphy}} can be released from a Poké Ball that is thrown. Fourth installment adds [[Generation V]] and [[Generation VI]] Pokémon, with the 3DS version having {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Staryu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Abomasnow}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Zoroark}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Fletchling}}, {{p|Spewpa}}, {{p|Gogoat}}, {{p|Swirlix}}, {{p|Inkay}}, {{p|Dedenne}} and {{p|Xerneas}}<br /> <br /> Also, in the Subspace Emissary, Pokémon Trainer is shown to push the button on the Poké Ball to send out the Pokémon; this has not been shown in the anime.<br /> <br /> ===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] Trophy information===<br /> ''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.''<br /> <br /> ===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] Trophy information===<br /> ''&quot;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.&quot;''<br /> ===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]] Trophy information===<br /> ====Poké Ball====<br /> '''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!''<br /> <br /> '''PAL''': ''A ball holding one of any umber 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!''<br /> <br /> ====Master Ball====<br /> ''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.''<br /> <br /> ==Other variants==<br /> The following Poké Ball variants are found outside of the standard games. They are often very unusual compared to the 26 types found in the games, and it is sometimes questionable whether or not they even qualify as Poké Balls. Many have separate articles, where their unique properties are described in greater detail.<br /> <br /> ===In the games===<br /> * [[Pester Ball]]s: These objects, which appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance, are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact. They are only found in {{g|Snap}}.<br /> * The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]], much as event items are given out in [[Generation IV]] games over the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. It was not used to catch any Pokémon, and was placed in the [[key items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].<br /> * A [[Snag Ball]] is a Poké Ball variant that has been &quot;unlocked&quot; by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already-[[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.<br /> * When transferring Pokémon via [[Poké Transfer]], a blue-colored Poké Ball is used to catch the Pokémon in the mingame. They are shot using a bow.<br /> * Typing Balls are used in [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]]. They are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name. It has the overall design like that of a normal Poké Ball, only having an additional vertical line at the bottom, resembling the letter &quot;T&quot;.<br /> * In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around.<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Pester Ball.png|A Pester Ball<br /> File:Snag Ball.png|[[Wes]] about to throw a Great Ball turned into a Snag Ball<br /> File:Typing Ball.png|A Typing Ball<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ===In the anime===<br /> * A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon! I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.<br /> ** In addition to this, the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.<br /> * Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.<br /> * {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily to capture Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls. They have been called by several names by fans, such as &quot;Mewtwo Balls&quot; and &quot;Clone Balls&quot;.<br /> * [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{mov|Unown|Unown|3}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.<br /> * A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Day|Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.<br /> * Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sam|Sammy]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.<br /> * The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the legendary {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.<br /> * As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.<br /> * In ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'', the &quot;Stone Ball&quot;, a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a 2-story house.<br /> * In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the &quot;Fishing Poké Ball&quot;, was used in the fake fishing contest set up by {{TRT}}. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Green Poké Ball anime.png|A green Poké Ball in ''[[EP001|Pokémon!

It was destroyed when the Black Fog used {{m|Explosion}} to free itself after being captured.<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Enormo Poké Ball EToP.png|The Enormo Poké Ball-X1<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====<br /> In addition to various Poké Balls introduced in the games, Pokémon Adventures also has several Trainers modifying their Poké Balls to suit their fighting styles.<br /> <br /> * [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his {{wp|Nunchaku|nunchucks}}. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage. <br /> * [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into {{wp|shuriken}} to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.<br /> * [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.<br /> * [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.<br /> * [[Erika]] modified her Poké Balls to be at the end of her arrows.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery perrow=6&gt;<br /> File:Bruno Nunchuck Poké Ball.png|Bruno's nunchuck with Poké Balls on them<br /> File:Koga Shuriken Poké Ball.png|Koga's Shuriken Poké Ball<br /> File:Bugsy Poké Ball net.png|Bugsy's Capture net<br /> File:Falkner Boomerang Poké Ball.png|Falkner's boomerang Poké Balls<br /> File:Erika Blaine Adventures.png|Erika with one of her Poké Ball arrows.<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ===In the TCG===<br /> * The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works similarly to a Poké Ball, however, it only can be used to find Team Magma's Pokémon, and will still allow a player to find a Pokémon, though only a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic one}}, if the coin flip results in tails.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, with the exception that it can only search out Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. No coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.<br /> * The {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Team Plasma Ball|105}} is the Team Plasma variant of the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Plasma Pokémon without a coin flip required.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> File:Magma Ball artwork.jpg|Team Magma Ball<br /> File:Aqua Ball artwork.jpg|Team Aqua Ball<br /> File:Rocket Ball artwork.jpg|Rocket's Poké Ball<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Item balls==<br /> {{main|Item#Obtaining items|Item → Obtaining items}}<br /> [[File:Itemball.png|thumb|200px|left|{{ga|Red}} finds an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]<br /> [[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|right|200px|thumb|Ash catches a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{p|Mankey}}]]<br /> In both the anime and games, it has been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where {{Ash}} accidentally catches a rice ball when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.<br /> <br /> Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an Itemfinder or [[Dowsing Machine]]. <br /> <br /> {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}} often appear as item balls in the overworld, but attack when interacted with.<br /> {{left clear}}{{right clear}}<br /> <br /> ==Artwork==<br /> These are artwork of the items as seen in the [[Pokémon Dream World]] and [[Pokémon Global Link]].<br /> {| class=&quot;roundy&quot;

Poké Ball is worth 1 point, Great Ball 2, Ultra Ball 3 and [[Master Ball]] 5.<br /> {{-}}<br /> ====Furret's Frolic====<br /> &lt;gallery perrow=&quot;4&quot;&gt;<br /> File:Furret Frolic Poké Ball.png|Poké Ball<br /> File:Furret Frolic Great Ball.png|Great Ball<br /> File:Furret Frolic Ultra Ball.png|Ultra Ball<br /> File:Furret Frolic Master Ball.png|Master Ball<br /> File:Furret Frolic Poké Ball instructions.png|Poké Ball on instructions screen<br /> File:Furret Frolic Great Ball instructions.png|Great Ball on instructions screen<br /> File:Furret Frolic Ultra Ball instructions.png|Ultra Ball on instructions screen<br /> File:Furret Frolic Master Ball instructions.png|Master Ball on instructions screen<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * While any Pokémon species can be caught by any Poké Ball, due to Pokémon distribution, no Pokémon species can legitimately be in all of the 26 in-game Poké Ball variants. The Pokémon that come the closest are the {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Venonat}} families, as they are found in the wild in all five generations that introduced Poké Balls, and can be obtained in the [[Pokémon Dream World]], a [[Safari Zone]] that allows the player to use Safari Balls, the [[Bug Catching Contest]] and the [[Pal Park]]; the only Ball they cannot be legitimately contained in is the Cherish Ball, as they have not been given out as an event Pokémon during Generation IV, V, or VI.<br /> * In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.<br /> * Many of the types of Poké Balls introduced in [[Generation III]] function similarly to those introduced in [[Generation II]]: the Nest Ball, like the Level Ball, is better if used on Pokémon of lower levels, the Net and Dive Balls are both useful against Pokémon found while in the water, much like the Lure Ball, and the Luxury Ball raises a Pokémon's [[friendship]] quickly, similarly to a Friend Ball. Excluding the Sport Ball, which many see as a parallel to the Safari Ball (which made its return in Generation III), the specialty Balls made by the Devon Corporation in Hoenn number seven, the same amount as the Apricorn Balls made by Kurt.<br /> * In Generation II, the Park Ball's name is written as one word on the catch screen menu in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]], rather than as two separate words, as the rest of the Poké Balls are. However, it will appear spelled correctly in the [[Bag]] if obtained illegitimately there.<br /> * In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in Generation I also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.<br /> * Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.<br /> * In HeartGold and SoulSilver and the {{Trading Card Game}}, Lure Balls are shown to have a green outer coloring; however, in official artwork and the anime, they are shown to have a blue outer coloring.<br /> ** However, in Generation V, the Lure Ball has both its Bag sprite, status screen sprite, and battle animation altered to the official blue color.<br /> ** Similarly, the Fast Ball is shown to be red in official art; however, it is orange in its Bag and status screen sprites, and only appears red in battle in Generation V.<br /> * Item description data for the Safari Ball in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White}} is unchanged from {{v2|Platinum}}, hence its description still states that it can only be used within the [[Great Marsh]].<br /> * While most Poké Balls cannot capture Pokémon that have already been caught, there are some types that can easily catch a Pokémon that already is owned. These are usually rare or use-restricted balls.<br /> ** The [[Generation IV]] Park Ball, which is used to capture Pokémon migrated from a Generation III game to a Generation IV game, is one of these. It reverts to the original ball used to catch the migrated Pokémon in the Summary screen.<br /> ** In the anime, Mewtwo's &quot;Mewtwo Balls&quot;, seen only in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', can catch any Pokémon despite being owned. These Balls have been shown to even catch owned Pokémon even when inside of their Poké Balls. After the Pokémon's DNA is extracted through Mewtwo's cloning device, &quot;Mewtwo Balls&quot; automatically release the caught Pokémon.<br /> ** [[Snag Ball]]s, exclusive to {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, are used for catching [[Shadow Pokémon]], all of which are already owned.<br /> * While the Apricorn Balls and the Sport Ball exist in the internal data of the [[Generation V]] games, they are completely unobtainable. If they are illegitimately obtained into the Bag, they cannot be held by a Pokémon, much as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, and will not be recognized by the game as Poké Balls for in-battle use. Despite this, a Pokémon caught in one of these Poké Balls in HeartGold and SoulSilver will retain the Ball in Generation V.<br /> ** The sprite color of the Lure Ball was altered in Pokémon Black and White, changing its base color to a light blue color as opposed to the green it had in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.<br /> ** The Moon Ball, while it returns in HeartGold and SoulSilver and appears in the internal data of the Generation V games, cannot legitimately contain Pokémon in the {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Munna}} families, even though both evolve with the Moon Stone. This is due to their unavailability in the wild in HeartGold and SoulSilver.<br /> * In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.<br /> * Generations II and III introduced more types of Poké Balls than any other generation, with seven each. Generation VI introduced the fewest: zero.<br /> * The Safari Ball has a catching animation programmed into Black and White despite not being legitimately able to be used, as there is no Safari Zone.<br /> * Both the Safari Ball and Generation II Park Ball appeared in the anime prior to sprites being introduced for items in the games, in [[EP035]] and [[EP161]], respectively. In these appearances, their designs were vastly different from their later-introduced in-game sprites.<br /> * In [[Generation V]], {{m|Dive}} regained its [[field move]] status. However, since there are no wild Pokémon underwater in [[Unova]], the Dive Ball retained its new effect that boosts its catch rate while {{m|Surf}}ing or [[fishing]].<br /> * {{p|Surskit}} is {{2t|Water|Bug}}-type, the two types that improve the Net Ball's odds of capture. However, it does not get an increased bonus for being both types.<br /> * When the player uses a Master Ball in Generation II, stars appear and a sound effect is played before the ball closes and captures the Pokémon.<br /> ** A similar effect would later be used in subsequent generations for all Poké Ball captures (regardless of the variety of Poké Ball used), beginning with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.<br /> * Starting in [[Generation III]], all Poké Ball types have a special effect that appears whenever the ball is opened. These special effects also can be seen in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. It is not until [[Generation IV]] that customizable special effects are available through [[Seal]]s.<br /> * The sprites of the Safari Ball and the Sport Ball greatly differ from their designs seen in their anime debut episodes [[EP035]] and ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', respectively, likely due to design changes between the generations of debut and the generations that introduced each Ball's Bag sprite.<br /> * Although the Hyper Ball was renamed the Ultra Ball in the English versions of the games, its design still incorporates a stylized H on the top half.<br /> <br /> {{-}}<br /> {{Items}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Smash Bros.}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Project ItemDex notice}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Game mechanics]]<br /> [[Category:Equipment]]<br /> [[Category:Super Smash Bros.]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Pokéball]]<br /> [[es:Poké Ball]]<br /> [[pt:Pokébola]]<br /> <br /> [[fr:Pokéball]]<br /> [[it:Poké Ball]]<br /> [[ja:モンスターボール]]<br /> [[pl:Poké Ball]]<br /> [[zh:神奇宝贝球]]</div>

<p>SubatomicCake: Added a notice to add a new picture.</p> <hr /> <div>:'''''Single Battle''' redirects here. For the battle mode found in the Pokémon Cable Club for Generations I, II and III, or the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum for Generation IV, see [[Single Battle (Battle Mode)]].''<br /> ----<br /> [[File:XY Prerelease wild battle.png|right|thumb|256px|A Pokémon battle between {{p|Chespin}} and a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Fletchling}} in {{g|X and Y}}]]<br /> A '''Pokémon battle''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンバトル''' ''Pokémon battle'', '''ポケモンしょうぶ''' ''Pokémon fight'' in older content) is a form of competition between {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In these battles, one or more of the Pokémon is typically owned and [[Pokémon training|trained]] by a person, its [[Pokémon Trainer]], in order to win.<br /> <br /> When a Pokémon [[fainting|faints]] in battle, its Trainer may send out another to take its place. After all of a Trainer's [[party]] Pokémon have been defeated, the battle has been won, and the loser must pay out some amount of money to the winner, determined based on the level of the Pokémon and [[Trainer class|type of Trainer]] defeated. In the core series games, if the player's Pokémon have all been defeated, he or she will [[black out]] (in [[Generation I]] and since [[Generation IV]]) or white out (in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]]), and be teleported back to the most recent [[Pokémon Center]] that was visited, or to his or her home, if a Pokémon Center has not yet been visited. <br /> <br /> Pokémon battles appear in most forms of Pokémon media, being the central gameplay aspect of the [[core series]] games, as well as being a constant focus of the {{pkmn|anime}}. Originally, a Pokémon battle would be a one-on-one fight between two Pokémon; however, variations on this model have been seen later on in the series, with Pokémon battles featuring multiple Pokémon on each side later being implemented in the games as well.<br /> <br /> ==In the games==<br /> {{bad picture|2=Should be replaced with Generation VI images}}<br /> In the games, the main battle screen will have four options: Fight, Bag, Pokémon, and Run. Depending on which of these is selected, a different menu will appear, or the battle may end. These same four options will appear no matter what kind of battle the player is in, be it with a wild Pokémon, an NPC, or another player via link battle. Battles are conducted in a turn-based manner. The Pokémon to take action first is determined by the [[priority]] of their action, then the {{status|Speed}} of the Pokémon.<br /> <br /> ===Fight===<br /> [[File:Pokemon Battle Moves BW.png|thumb|The moves of a Pokémon displayed in the Fight menu]]<br /> Selecting &quot;Fight&quot; will bring up another menu which allows the player to choose which of his or her Pokémon's current [[move]]s is to be used during the turn. Depending on its remaining [[Power points|PP]], a move may or may not be able to be selected; at least 1 PP is required to select the move.<br /> <br /> Once both sides have selected the moves they will use, the Pokémon currently in battle will make each of their moves in turn, with the Pokémon with the highest {{stat|Speed}} stat going first, and the one with the lowest Speed stat going last, unless {{m|Trick Room}} has been used, in which case the slowest Pokémon will go first. Depending on the moves used, items held by individual Pokémon, and [[status condition]]s, this progression may be altered, with moves like {{m|Quick Attack}} having an increased [[priority]] and items like the [[Iron Ball]] slowing down the Pokémon that holds it.<br /> <br /> As each Pokémon makes its move, a Pokémon may [[fainting|faint]] if its {{stat|HP}} reaches 0. If this occurs, another Pokémon must be switched in to replace it in battle for the battle to continue. This switch occurs before the turn ends in Generations {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|II}}, and {{Gen|III}}, but after the end of the turn in [[Generation IV]], resulting in a slightly different strategy for Double Battles between Generation III and Generation IV.<br /> <br /> ===Bag===<br /> [[File:Bag Menu BW.png|thumb|200px|right|Bag menu]]<br /> {{main|Bag}}<br /> If &quot;Bag&quot; is selected, it will bring up the contents of the player's Bag on screen. In Generation I, this command is instead &quot;Item&quot;, and in Generation II, it is &quot;Pack&quot;. In Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, the Bag menu that is brought up is the same as that in the overworld, with all of a player's items able to be selected (though many cannot be used). Since [[Generation IV]], the games instead feature a separate menu for in-battle use that categorizes the items that the player has depending on their use. If an item is selected to be used, this will take place before any Pokémon makes its move, and the player's Pokémon will not be able to make a move. The Bag selection is sometimes disabled, most notably in link battles and during [[Battle Frontier]] competitions.<br /> <br /> ===Pokémon===<br /> [[File:Pokémon battle Pokémon.png|thumb|200px|right|Pokémon menu]]<br /> {{main|Party}}<br /> Selecting &quot;Pokémon&quot; will bring up a menu of the player's current [[party]] Pokémon, allowing them to be checked by the player or switched into battle, sending the player's active Pokémon back into its Poké Ball. As with the Bag, the Pokémon menu screen is exactly the same as that in the overworld in Generations I, II, and III, with differences in usable commands, while different in Generation IV, featuring only battle-relevant data.<br /> <br /> ===Run===<br /> {{main|Escape}}<br /> If &quot;Run&quot; is selected, the player will attempt to escape from the battle. Battles against NPC Trainers cannot be run from except in a [[Battle Frontier]] facility, while battles against other players can be run from at any time, resulting in a loss (if only one player runs) or a draw (if both players run). This option, like Fight, also depends on the {{stat|Speed}} of the Pokémon in battle, with a calculation made based on the two resulting in either the player escaping a wild battle (if the player's Pokémon's Speed is high enough) or being stuck in battle and losing a turn. Trapping moves can prevent escape attempts from being made, as can the player's own Pokémon if it has previously used {{m|Ingrain}}.<br /> <br /> In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], this option is replaced by a &quot;Call&quot; option, which allows the player to return a [[Shadow Pokémon]] from [[Hyper Mode]] and [[Reverse Mode]] or wake it up from sleep. It can also be used to simply pass a turn, and in XD, will raise the {{stat|accuracy}} of a non-Shadow Pokémon who is not asleep by one level.<br /> <br /> ==In the anime==<br /> [[File:Tepig Snivy battle.png|thumb|250px|right|A battle between [[Ash's Tepig]] and a {{AP|Snivy}} about to begin]]<br /> In the anime, the progression of battle is slightly different. An expansion on the games' concept, the anime's battles are more free-flowing than those in the games, with opposing Trainers being able to block and evade moves in different and more creative ways than the games allow for, invent their own moves as combinations of other moves, and so on. Several concepts that later became standard in the games were developed in the anime, such as the {{a|Lightning Rod}} Ability and Double Battles.<br /> <br /> Unlike the games, there will often be a referee who determines whether or not a Pokémon is able to continue the match, as there is not the strictly-programmed HP limit. This referee will sometimes be a Pokémon League official, especially in matches conducted in the various leagues' tournaments, though informal battles can be conducted with either no referee at all or with a knowledgeable person serving as the referee. {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Cilan}} have served as the referee for many of the informal matches between {{Ash}} and the various people he has met along his journey.<br /> <br /> Battles in the anime often feature a limit to the amount of Pokémon that can be used: Trainers rarely are allowed to use their full party of six, and must instead choose which members they will use. Most Gym Leaders and other elite Trainers will not switch their Pokémon when challenged, as well, but will allow the challenger to do so.<br /> <br /> ==In the manga==<br /> ===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br /> Pokémon battles in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga are arguably the most violent incarnation of battles in any Pokémon media. Pokémon are sometimes directed to not only attack, but ''kill'' other Pokémon and Trainers. Trainers themselves are an active part of the battle, often openly attacked, while their Poké Balls are a frequent target so as to disable them. Battles, instead of lasting until all Pokémon have fainted, last until all have been ''defeated'', while only one of the Pokémon fainting is enough to end the battle itself. Like in the anime, a referee is present and may declare the battle without a Pokémon fainting, while Trainers are fully allowed to catch each other's Pokémon in Poké Balls.<br /> <br /> ==Battle variants==<br /> {{bad picture|section|Should be replaced with Generation VI images for Double Battle, Multi Battle, Triple Battle and Rotation Battle}}<br /> [[File:ORAS Prerelease Youngster.png|thumb|250px|Trainer battle]]<br /> There are several variants on a standard Pokémon battle, in which one Pokémon is sent out against an opponent's Pokémon. These differences are mostly in the number of Trainers and Pokémon involved in the battle at one time.<br /> <br /> ===Double Battle===<br /> {{main|Double Battle}}<br /> A Double Battle is initiated when two Pokémon, rather than one, are sent out per side. Introduced in the games in [[Generation III]], possibly to take advantage of the [[Game Boy Advance]]'s ability to interact with more than one other game via [[link cable]], Double Battles can alter a player's strategy by a lot, now having to evade twice the moves and make twice the decisions per turn.<br /> <br /> Several moves change when used in Double Battles. While most will target one of the two Pokémon, selectable after the move itself is chosen, some target both opponent Pokémon, both opponents and the partner, the user and its partner, or all Pokémon in the battle. Abilities may have an effect in Double Battles that is very nearly useless in Single Battles, such as {{a|Plus}}, which requires another Pokémon in play to activate.<br /> <br /> Generation IV also changes around the order of events slightly. Moves that target multiple Pokémon now resolve in order of the Pokémon's respective Speed stats. Pokémon are also now switched in to replace KO'd Pokémon at the end of a round of combat rather than immediately after a Pokémon is knocked out. While this affects Single Battles, the effect is more noticeable in Double Battles where it is now possible for a Pokémon's move to fail due to a lack of target if both of the opposing Pokémon are knocked out before the attacking Pokémon's turn comes.<br /> <br /> All battles in Pokémon Colosseum are conducted as Double Battles, as are most in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, with the exception of three Trainer battles and all wild battles.<br /> <br /> Double Battles were introduced in the anime ''very'' early, first appearing in [[EP003|the third episode]] where {{Ash}} declared them to be breaking Pokémon League rules. Despite this, {{TRT}} has battled Ash in nearly every episode since in a Double Battle, sending out two Pokémon at once. Later, Ash himself competed in a Double Battle for the {{badge|Jade Star}} in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. After the release of Ruby and Sapphire, Double Battles were seen in the anime more often. The first took place in ''[[AG014|All in a Day's Wurmple]]''. [[Forrester Franklin]] introduced the concept to Ash and they had a battle that Ash won. As in the games, Ash's Gym Battle against [[Tate and Liza]] was a Double Battle. The Double Battle style has been used in Contests; more specifically, all four battle rounds of the Grand Festival.<br /> <br /> ===Triple Battle===<br /> [[File:Triple battle.png|thumb|200px|right|Triple Battle]]<br /> {{main|Triple Battle}}<br /> Triple Battles were introduced as a core series element in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Triple Battles as a mechanic debuted in [[Pokémon Battrio]]. Unlike Double Battles, the positioning of the Pokémon in-battle will be important as the Pokémon on the left will be unable to target the Pokémon on the right and vice-versa, while the Pokémon in the middle is free to attack any other Pokémon in play, making it the prime attacking position. Also, moves like {{m|Hurricane}} and {{m|Acrobatics}} can damage any of the three Pokémon, or all of them. <br /> <br /> The Pokémon on the left and right have the option to 'move'. This option allows the user to switch with the Pokémon currently in the middle. Moving has no priority and none of the effects of switching apply to moving. A Pokémon can move even if it is the last Pokémon on its team. When there are only two Pokémon left on the field and they are non-adjacent to each other, then both Pokémon will automatically be moved to the center of the field.<br /> <br /> This type of battle can be encountered with: <br /> * A [[Charles|Motorcyclist]] in [[Driftveil City]];<br /> * An {{tc|Ace Trainer}} on {{rt|7|Unova}}; and<br /> * Two Ace Trainers in [[Opelucid City]]<br /> <br /> ===Rotation Battle===<br /> [[File:Rotation Battle.png|thumb|right|A Rotation Battle]]<br /> {{main|Rotation Battle}}<br /> Rotation Battles were introduced as a core series element in {{game|Black and White|s}}. A Rotation Battle consists of three Pokémon (similar to a Triple Battle); however, only one Pokémon can attack at a time. Rotating Pokémon is a free action, meaning both players may switch and attack in the same turn. <br /> <br /> Rotating can be done during both the player's and the opponent's turns and has a priority of +6. Rotating is different to switching in that it doesn't use up a turn, reset [[status condition]]s like {{status|confusion}} and {{status|bad poison}}, or reset Ability counters like {{a|Slow Start}}. Only the active Pokémon plays any part in the battle. Moves and Abilities that affect more than one Pokémon will only affect the opponent's active Pokémon, and Abilities like {{a|Flower Gift}} will only activate if the user is active. Also status damage is not received while a Pokémon is inactive.<br /> <br /> This type of battle can be encountered with: <br /> * A [[Charles|Motorcyclist]] in [[Driftveil City]];<br /> * An {{tc|Ace Trainer}} on {{rt|7|Unova}}; and<br /> * Two Ace Trainers in [[Opelucid City]]<br /> <br /> ===Multi Battle===<br /> [[File:Double trainer battle.png|frame|A Multi Battle between {{ga|Lucas}}, [[Marley]], and two {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s]]<br /> {{main|Multi Battle}}<br /> A Multi Battle is a battle in which more than two Trainers partake. Multi Battles can be set up as one-vs-two or two-vs-two, with four Pokémon on the field at once. Aside from the fact that Pokémon on the same side are controlled by different Trainers, Multi Battles act the same as normal Double Battles.<br /> <br /> Unlike regular Double Battles, there are no specific Trainer classes encountered for Multi Battles. Instead, two different Trainers must both see the {{player}} at the same time. For battles in the games' storylines, the player's opponents will usually only have three Pokémon each. However, Multi Battles occurring by being spotted by a pair of unrelated Trainers will occasionally lead to battles against more than six Pokémon. The player and their partner are only subject to such limitations in [[Battle Tower]]s, allowing both to potentially send out six Pokémon.<br /> <br /> In [[Generation III]], up to four players can battle with each other in a Multi Battle via [[link cable]] by choosing the 'Multi Battle' mode in the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum. Players decide which side to battle. This was the only way to have a Multi Battle in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}. In [[Generation IV]], the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum was renamed to the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum, but Multi Battles can still be conducted by selecting 'Multi Battle'.<br /> <br /> ===Horde Encounter===<br /> [[File:XY Prerelease Axew horde.png|220px|thumb|A horde of Axew]]<br /> {{main|Horde Encounter}}<br /> A Horde Encounter is a kind of battle introduced in [[Generation VI]] in which a single player's Pokémon will battle against five [[Wild Pokémon]] that are usually of the same species, but there may be a single Pokémon of a similar or counterpart species, such as {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. In this battle, the Pokémon used by the player will act as if it was in the center of a [[Triple Battle]], but with all other Pokémon being considered enemies rather than some being allies. Also, there is no limit of range, meaning that any Pokémon may hit another that is non-adjacent of it.<br /> <br /> The Pokémon found in horde battles are normally at half of the level of this same Pokémon when find alone in the area, or are a lower [[evolution]]ary stage of the most common Pokémon. Horde Encounters can be forced by [[Honey]] and [[Sweet Scent]] if the weather is clear.<br /> <br /> ===Sky Battle===<br /> [[File:XY Prerelease Sky Battle.png|220px|thumb|A Sky Battle]]<br /> {{main|Sky Battle}}<br /> A Sky Battle is a kind of battle introduced in [[Generation VI]] in which consist of two Pokémon battling each other in the air instead of on land or sea. However, because of this, only certain {{t|Flying}} types and certain Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Levitate}} are eligible for Sky Battles.<br /> <br /> At certain points in the game, the player can encounter {{tc|Sky Trainer}}s on top of cliffs or other distant areas who will challenge them to a Sky Battle. All Sky Battles are optional, since the player may not have any eligible Pokémon to use. If all eligible Pokémon in the battle faint, the player will black out, but will resume the game standing where they were before battle. In this event, [[List_of_glitches_in_Generation_VI#Sky_Trainer_interaction_glitch|due to a current glitch]], the Sky Trainer is unable to be re-challenged or even spoken to, even if the player's eligible Pokémon are restored, until the player exits and reenters the area.<br /> <br /> ===Inverse Battle===<br /> {{main|Inverse Battle}}<br /> An Inverse Battle is a kind of battle introduced in [[Generation VI]]. During an Inverse Battle, type matchups are reversed. This type of battle is only conducted with {{tc|Psychic}} Inver on {{rt|18|Kalos}}, who can be battled once per day.<br /> <br /> {{Battle}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Training}}<br /> {{League}}&lt;br&gt;<br /> {{Project Games notice|game mechanic}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pokémon world]]<br /> [[Category:Terminology]]<br /> [[Category:Game mechanics]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Kampf]]<br /> [[it:Lotta Pokémon]]<br /> [[ja:バトル]]<br /> [[pl:Bitwa Pokémon]]<br /> [[zh:神奇宝贝对战]]</div>

In Emerald, [[Scott]] will be napping at a table. After that, the upper level contains the Game Freak staff, as it is where they are staying while in Hoenn.
