=====Generation II=====
=====Generation II=====
If held by the {{player}}'s active Pokémon, allows definite [[escape]] from a [[wild Pokémon]]. It does not ignore {{cat|trapping moves}}.
If held by the {{player}}'s Pokémon, [[escape|fleeing]] from a [[wild Pokémon]] is guaranteed to succeed. It does not ignore {{cat|trapping moves}}.
 
=====Generations III and IV=====
If held by a Pokémon, it can [[escape|flee]] and {{m|Teleport}} successfully, regardless of {{cat|trapping moves}} and {{cat|Trapping Abilities|Abilities}}. If the player's Pokémon holding a Smoke Ball faints, if the player attempts to flee instead of sending out another Pokémon, they will escape without fail.
 
In Generation III only, the Smoke Ball plays a special animation when used.
 
=====Generation V=====
Wild Pokémon cannot successfully Teleport while trapped, even if they hold a Smoke Ball.


=====Generation III onward=====
If the player's Pokémon holding a Smoke Ball faints, the player is no longer guaranteed to flee successfully.
Smoke Ball now ignores trapping moves. In Generation III only, the Smoke Ball plays a special animation when used.


Because all battles in {{g|Colosseum}} and most battles in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} are {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles, Smoke Orb has no effect and cannot be found.

Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Does it allow roaming Pokémon and the initial Nihilego to bypass trapping moves and Abilities, and if so, does it play a special animation when they flee in Generation III?
If a player's Pokémon holding a Smoke Ball faints and the player chooses to flee instead of sending out another Pokémon, are they guaranteed to escape in Generation II?
In Generation II, does it allow the player to flee from Team Rocket Hideout traps, GS Ball Celebi, Tin Tower Suicune (in Crystal), or the scripted Red Gyarados?
Generation II

If held by the player's Pokémon, fleeing from a wild Pokémon is guaranteed to succeed. It does not ignore trapping moves.

Generations III and IV

If held by a Pokémon, it can flee and Teleport successfully, regardless of trapping moves and Abilities. If the player's Pokémon holding a Smoke Ball faints, if the player attempts to flee instead of sending out another Pokémon, they will escape without fail.

In Generation III only, the Smoke Ball plays a special animation when used.

Generation V

Wild Pokémon cannot successfully Teleport while trapped, even if they hold a Smoke Ball.

If the player's Pokémon holding a Smoke Ball faints, the player is no longer guaranteed to flee successfully.

Generation VI onward

If held by a Pokémon, it can Teleport successfully, regardless of trapping moves and Abilities.
