* Its English name is the same as the [[Beast Ball]] in Japanese. "Ultra" in Beast Ball's Japanese name refers to "[[Ultra Beast]]s".

Latest revision as of 11:26, 26 March 2024
- This article is about the modern incarnation of the Ultra Ball. For the Ultra Ball from Legends: Arceus, see Ultra Ball (Hisui). For the Poké Ball with the Japanese name of "Ultra Ball", see Beast Ball.
| |||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Ultra Ball (Japanese: ハイパーボール Hyper Ball) is a type of Poké Ball introduced in Generation I. It is an improved variant of the Great Ball that can be used to catch wild Pokémon.
In the core series games
Price
|
In Pokémon Crystal, an Ultra Ball costs $1000 during the Goldenrod Department Store rooftop sale.
Effect
Manual activation
When used from the Bag in a wild Pokémon encounter, it will attempt to catch the wild Pokémon with a catch rate modifier of 2×.
If used on an Ultra Beast, the catch rate modifier is instead set to 410/4096× (~0.1×).
The Ultra 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 trial Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle (except if used as a Snag Ball on a Shadow Pokémon), the opposing Trainer will deflect it, wasting the ball (in Generation III and earlier) or only the player's turn (from Generation IV onward). If used on the ghost Marowak, it will dodge it, wasting the ball.
Held item
Fling fails if the user is holding an Ultra Ball.

- Main article: Ultra Ball (Dark Explorers 102)
The Ultra Ball, debuting in Dark Explorers with artwork by 5ban Graphics, has the player discard two cards from their hand to search the deck for a Pokémon.
Before being printed as its own card, an Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of Rocket's Sneak Attack from the Team Rocket expansion.
Trivia
- The Ultra Ball includes a stylized H in its design. This is due to its Japanese name, Hyper Ball.
- Its English name is the same as the Beast Ball in Japanese. "Ultra" in Beast Ball's Japanese name refers to "Ultra Beasts". The Japanese name of Beast Ball was likely changed due to the localization conflict with Ultra Ball, with "Beast" being used to refer to the Ultra Beasts instead.
- The Ultra Ball appears to have gone through a short-lived design change early on in Generation III. Its in-game design in Ruby and Sapphire and Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire features a single thick yellow stripe down the middle of the upper half of the Ball, while all other games in the generation use the standard large upper-case H shape for the yellow pattern instead.
