The Strange Ball (Japanese: ストレンジボール Strange Ball) is a type of Poké Ball introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, though assets for this item exist in the game data of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. It is currently unobtainable.
In the core series games
Pokémon transferred from other games into Pokémon Legends: Arceus or from Pokémon Legends: Arceus into Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl via Pokémon HOME are contained in Strange Balls, though they regain their original Poké Balls when moved back into HOME. In Pokémon Sword and Shield, which do not feature Strange Balls, standard Poké Balls are used instead for Pokémon from Legends: Arceus.
Effect
Manual activation
The Strange Ball cannot be legitimately obtained as an item, so it cannot normally be used.
Description
Acquisition
The Strange Ball cannot be obtained in any game.
Trivia
- While normally unobtainable, the Strange Ball is used as a placeholder whenever an invalid Poké Ball ID is found in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
- The Strange Ball resembles a modern Poké Ball design rather than the designs seen in Hisui.
