Trivia

• This card's effect is similar to that of the EX Series and Stormfront prints of the Great Ball card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, but this card chooses the Basic Pokémon randomly.
  • Poké Ball also exists in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, but its effect is not specific to Basic Pokémon, and it requires tossing heads to successfully use its effect.

Origin

• This card's standard illustration was first featured on Poké Ball from the Sun & Moon expansion.
• The Poké Ball is an item in the Pokémon games used to capture wild Pokémon.
