===Effect===
===Effect===
====Generation III====
When used from the [[Bag]] in a {{pkmn2|wild}} encounter, it attempts to catch the wild Pokémon. It has an increased catch rate modifier in certain encounters.
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, when the Dive Ball is used from the [[Bag]] in a {{pkmn2|wild}} encounter, it will attempt to capture the wild Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] modifier of 3.5× if used while [[underwater]]. Otherwise, its catch rate is 1×.


In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Dive Ball's effect is altered to be effecive on Pokémon encountered while {{m|surf}}ing or [[fishing]].
The Dive 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 [[Island challenge|trial]] Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle (except if used as a [[Snag Ball]] on a [[Shadow Pokémon]]), the opposing Trainer will deflect the ball, wasting the item. If used on the [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]], it will dodge the ball, wasting it.


====Generation IV onwards====
====Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald====
From [[Generation IV]] onwards, the Dive Ball retains its effect from FireRed and LeafGreen. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} only, the Dive Ball's original purpose is restored, but still is effective while surfing or fishing.
If used [[underwater]], the Dive Ball has a 3.5× [[catch rate]] modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier.
 
====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and Generation IV onward====
If used while {{m|surf}}ing, [[fishing]], or [[underwater]], the Dive Ball has a 3.5× [[catch rate]] modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier.
