==Trivia==
* Because {{p|Pikachu}} cannot be found in the wild in [[Unova]], {{m|Thief}} and similar moves no longer permanently steal items held by trained Pokémon as of [[Generation V]], and [[Poké Transfer]] prohibits the import of held items, the Light Ball cannot be obtained in [[Generation V]] outside of events.
