In the anime

In the main series

Two Lure Balls and a Heavy Ball

In the EP144, Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and Misty received a Lure Ball each from Kurt. 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 Totodile and Corsola, respectively.

In the TCG

Lure Ball
Main article: Lure Ball (Skyridge 128)

Debuting in the Skyridge expansion, the Lure Ball is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the discard pile rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an Evolution card can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has not appeared since.
