Effect
When used from the Bag in a wild encounter, it will attempt to capture the wild Pokémon with a catch rate modifier of 8× if it is the same species and opposite gender of the player's Pokémon, or 1× otherwise.
In Generation II, due to a glitch, the 8× modifier is applied to wild Pokémon of the same gender instead.
This item cannot be given to a Pokémon to hold in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. If a Pokémon caught in this Ball is traded to Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, its Ball will be converted to a regular Poké Ball.

In Trouble's Brewing, the Kimono Sisters (excluding Sakura) were shown keeping their Eeveelutions inside Apricorn Poké Balls, with Satsuki's Jolteon's ball being a Moon Ball, Sumomo's Vaporeon's ball being a Lure Ball, and Satsuki's Umbreon's ball being a Fast Ball. While Koume's Flareon's ball wasn't shown, her kimono pattern indicates it being a Love Ball.
In The Professors' New Adventure!, a chandelier stand based on a Love Ball was seen during Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet's wedding.
