The Dusk Ball (Japanese: ダークボール Dark Ball) is a type of Poké Ball introduced in Generation IV. It can be used to catch a wild Pokémon, being more likely to succeed if used at night or in a cave.
In the core series games
Price
|
Effect
Manual activation
When used from the Bag in a wild encounter, it attempts to catch the wild Pokémon. If used at evening or night or in a cave, it has an increased catch rate modifier. The catch rate is not boosted inside of buildings, regardless of time.
The Dusk Ball cannot be used in situations in which Poké Balls cannot be used, such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present or against a trial Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle, the opposing Trainer will deflect the ball, wasting the player's turn.
Generation IV to VI
If used in a cave (except Mirage Caves) or at night, the Dusk Ball has a 3.5× catch rate modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier.
In Generation V only, in certain indoor areas (specifically, Strange House and Volcarona's room in Relic Castle), Dusk Balls only have a 1× modifier even at night.
Generation VII onward
If used at night or in a cave, the Dusk Ball has a 3× catch rate modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier. If used on an Ultra Beast, the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 410/4096× (~0.1×).
Generation VIII
If used during the Darkest Day or at Newmoon Island, the Dusk Ball has a 3× modifier, even during the day.
Generation IX
If used in Area Zero, the 3× modifier only applies in the various caves, and lower cavern section, regardless of the time of day in the rest of Paldea.[1]
Held item
Fling fails if the user is holding a Dusk Ball.
