In the anime
Beast Balls debuted in A Mission of Ultra Urgency!, in which the Aether Foundation provided multiple of them for Ash and his classmates to use during their Ultra Guardian missions. In the same episode, Ash used one of them to temporarily catch a Buzzwole.
In Love at First Twirl!, Ash used almost every Beast Ball provided to the group to try and catch a Poipole in order to take care of it until the location of its Ultra Wormhole could be discovered. He eventually succeeded with the last one in the box.
In Rise and Shine, Starship!, Ash and Kiawe tried to use Beast Balls to catch a Celesteela, but failed due to it being rooted down at the time.
In Twirling with a Bang!, Lana and Lillie used a pair of Beast Balls to temporarily catch a Xurkitree and a Blacephalon, respectively.
In The Long Vault Home!, Ash, Lana, Kiawe, and Mallow each tried to catch a Stakataka with multiple Beast Balls, but it effortlessly dodged them all. Eventually, Ash was able to successfully catch Stakataka after getting rid of the statue that had been placed on top of its body and convincing it that they were going to return it to its home.
In SM114, Ash used a Beast Ball to temporarily catch a Pheromosa so that it could be returned home.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
In the Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon arc, Beast Balls were created by the Aether Foundation and the Ultra Recon Squad as a means of capturing Ultra Beasts.
