| |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||
|
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 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. 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.
