In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
In the Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon arc, Beast Balls were created for Aether Foundation by Colress with help from the Ultra Recon Squad as a means of catching Ultra Beasts.
Lusamine first used a Beast Ball to catch the Naganadel that Phyco had earlier used to ride through Ultra Space. After riding the Naganadel to Ultra Megalopolis, she started throwing her Beast Balls at Necrozma in order to catch it. While her attention was focused on Necrozma, Sun used one of the Beast Balls that Lusamine had dropped to catch himself a Stakataka.
In the TCG
- Main article: Beast Ball (Celestial Storm 125)
The Beast Ball, released in the Celestial Storm expansion, allows the player to look at their Prize cards. If an Ultra Beast is found, they may reveal it and add it to their hand, replacing the Prize card with Beast Ball.
Trivia
- In Pokémon Sun and Moon only, Pheromosa and Kartana both have a catch rate of 255, meaning that Beast Balls can never fail to catch them in these games.
- In all European language versions of a promotional trailer for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Naganadel is shown to be sent out from a Beast Ball. However, there is no legitimate way to obtain a Naganadel in a Beast Ball in these games, as it is exclusively available as a gift Pokémon in a standard Poké Ball.
