Effect

When used in a Catching Show encounter in Pal Park, it catches the encountered Pokémon without fail.

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

Trivia

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