The Lure Ball (Japanese: ルアーボール Lure Ball) is a type of Poké Ball introduced in Generation II. It can be used to capture a wild Pokémon, being more likely to succeed in fishing encounters.
It is one of Kurt's signature Apricorn Poké Balls, and is made from Blue Apricorns.

Effect
When used from the Bag in a wild encounter, it attempts to capture the wild Pokémon. If the encounter is a fishing encounter, it has a 3×GSCHGSS/5×SMUSUM catch rate modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier.
The Lure 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 bat the ball away, wasting the item.
Held item
Fling fails if the user is holding a Lure Ball.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver only, Lure Balls cannot be held. This is to prevent them being held by a Pokémon traded to Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, where the item does not exist.

In Going Apricorn!, a Lure Ball appears in a visual cut-in while Maizie is explaining what Apricorn Poké Balls are.
In Gettin' The Bugs Out, Ash and Misty each received a Lure Ball from Kurt at the end of the episode.
In The Totodile Duel, Ash and Misty both wanted to catch a wild Totodile, so both threw their Lure Balls at it; one of the Lure Balls successfully caught the Totodile, but it was unclear whether it was Ash's or Misty's ball. Ash and Misty had a battle to decide who would keep Totodile; Ash won the battle, so he was able to keep Totodile, while Misty kept the unused Lure Ball. In A Corsola Caper!, Misty used her Lure Ball to catch a Corsola.
In Trouble's Brewing, the Kimono Sisters (excluding Sakura) were shown keeping their Eeveelutions inside Apricorn Poké Balls, with Sumomo's Vaporeon's ball being a Lure Ball.
In the TCG
- 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.
Trivia
- In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and the TCG, 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. In later games, the Lure Ball's color is changed to the official blue color.
