The '''Gigaton Ball''' (Japanese: '''ギガトンボール''' ''Gigaton Ball'') is a type of [[Poké Ball]] introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. It is an upgraded version of the [[Leaden Ball]].

==In the core series games==
===Price===

===Effect===
The Gigaton Ball can be used to catch Pokémon. It cannot be thrown very far, but is more effective if the Pokémon it's used on hasn't noticed the {{player}}. If so, it attempts to catch the Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] modifier of 2.75×. Otherwise, it has a 2.5× modifier.

During a battle, the modifier is always 2.75×, as the game defaults to that bonus being active, regardless of whether the Pokémon had previously noticed the player before initiating the battle.
