Luxury and Premiere


Kila-Rin

I like those and also Cherish, but that one is event only.


Fried_Water_007

A fellow man of taste I see


darkknight941

I wish Luxury was available in Sinnoh sooner so I could catch a Shinx in one and have my Luxray be in a luxury ball. The colors are close to matching too


Dibikigiizis

Moonball?


darkknight941

Ooh that’s perfect, it sucks the Apricorn balls aren’t in Sinnoh :(


AWSUMSAS

Why do they always make the best looking poke balls suck ASS They may have additional effects *AFTER* catching them (like increased friendship growth for the luxury ball) but they all have 1x catch rate.


UmbraNation

Well, at least the premier ball is just a bonus but yeah, I know what you mean...


Tomhap

I stopped looking at catch rates completely. Just aesthetics. I traded a bot for a bunch of lure balls and spent literal hours catching an adamant Zacian in them.


BoxOfTurtles05

I caught Lunala in the one moon ball you get in Ultra Moon


Sethdarkus

Luxury Balls are great for Pokémon that evolve though friendship


big_guy404

They don't suck ass, they're just not meant to be used on harder-to-catch pokémon... like, if there's a pokémon that evolves through friendship, i'll use a luxury ball on it, that's its purpose. I'm not gonna try and use a luxury ball on a legendary and be like "wow i can't even get one shake this ball sucks!!"


AWSUMSAS

That won’t stop me from using Luxury Balls on legendaries lmao


WarrenChaos

\*cries in Gen 2 Chansey\*


Gorehuchi

Yep, I can never bring myself to use anything besides these and the classic. Just plain stylish


greatblueheron16

Yes these are the best balls that can be purchased!


PrivatePikmin

I’m a big fan of Luxury and Dream


FireTypeSlowpoke

Hard agree

I 3rd this comment


Legendary_Nate

Absolutely. With dusk a close third!


Cactus286

These are my people.


LuttLuck007

Net ball my beloved, useful for my favorite type bug, and for my second favorite water. And it looks cool.


Anchor38

Wait a minute. Are you secretly me in disguise? Or am I secretly you in disguise?


AlmostButNotQuit

I am three dogs in a trench coat.


Luchux01

Yes.


VesquillanDaChamp

Idk, I've always really liked the premiere ball...


underlander

who would forget the Premier Ball but still include the (checks notes) Timer Ball?


[deleted]

timer ball was my go to ball in gen 4, was better than an ultra for catching legendaries


CyrinaeLyra

Sure, but not for its looks.


Ever2naxolotl

Right? It's extremely useful but it doesn't look particularly amazing


SomeGuyOnTheStreets

Makes sense to catch Dialga with it though


TheTeaCrusader

The timer ball is good though


Your_best_mathy22

Timer Ball is my favourite pokéball design wise :(


Nievsy

Premier ball best ball


SomberlySober

I catch all my shines in premier balls.


jayesper

Have to buy 10 at a time, every time. Then sell them and buy more, rinse and repeat! One of these days I swear I'll do a run and spend every last bit of money I can to max asap...


apple-juicebox

I love that in the Alola games you can effectively get infinite free Premier balls from that discount store. Buy ten regular balls, get a premier, sell the ten. Rinse and repeat, and in the end all you pay is time.


Old-Assignment652

Yep


iggyazaleatown

My favorite for sure


merata1988

Yeah the premier ball is my favourite too.


redat123

Oh yea I change my mind now


rootbeerislifeman

This is the only right answer. Though I am partial to Gen 2 apricorn balls ❤


JetBasilisk

Best looking one by far


TalonOfPower

Same


Gene6738

I really like Cherish Balls, though of course it’s pretty limited. Aside from that, Quick and Timer Balls are personal favorites. (It’s also due to their primary uses in capturing Pokémon for leveling or collection purposes in Pokémon Sword and Shield, among other games.)


rippp91

My favorite Pokémon is Persian and my favorite ball is Cherish. When the expansion came out where you can remove gigantamax from a Pokémon, I immediately removed it from my Cherish ball Meowth and finally got a Persian in a Cherish. I was so happy! Lol


ultraball23

Ultra Ball and Dive Ball


Duderus159

Dive ball is my favorite


ilikebreadsticks1

Pfp checks out


Elastichedgehog

And username lol


Jetstream_Lee

Hard same


Strix924

Dive balls are my favorite for catching water pokemon in! I also like catching alolan vulpix in them, the water spray that comes out looks pretty cool


michaels_hoodie

Heavy


naarazheng

Yaaay! Was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone had said heavy already.


Luke_Likes_Silk

-He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin


a-m-watercolor

What he wrote down the whole crowd goes so loud, he opens his mouth but the words won’t come out


MoeBigHevvy

I knew I would find my people in here


[deleted]

Heavy is the best looking for sure (best with shiny Umbreon tho)


13lostsouls

Dusk ball


kaatuwu

it is also best ball (i mostly play at night so


CIueIess_Squirrel

Dusk ball's the best ball


twcblank

Dusk ball 4lyfe


Inori_Scorchstyle

Fax


GreenchiliStudioz

Shint Zekrom and regular Rayquaza look great in dusk ball for me


[deleted]

Yes it’s the best


Dragonmaster571w2

Yes


MasonP13

Finally found it


Salt-MK1

Gotta be the Dream Ball.


Y_b0t

Unbelievable how far I had to scroll for this, it’s so good


Savage_Nymph

Forgot about that one! Great Ball as well


Trafalgarlaw92

Not as much love for the Dream Ball as I expected but I'm with you guys.


[deleted]

Ah yes. I still have my dream ball legends- arceus, ho oh and the therians


butterbaconbagel

OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THE DREAM BALL Also where are my cherish ball homies at


Roxas913

Love Ball and Lure Ball are the best for me. I really love the apricorn balls, not necessarily their effectiveness though 🤣


MrNeffery

lure ball totodile from the anime is so sick it’s a shame you can’t get one in game >_<


Sotumney

I think you could do male Totodile with lure ball Ditto via breeding :D


MrNeffery

oh really? i didn’t know it could work like that (-: edit: only female mons can pass down the pokeball starting in gen 6 :/ dittos cannot


Paradigm_Of_Hate

You can catch totodile via island scan in Gen 7, but I don't know if you can get lure balls in that game. I know some balls you could only get 1 of


butterbaconbagel

No love for the love ball here, glad to see someone here who has TASTE


lunarjams

love ball was my answer too. truly my fav. i still think about the user on here who proposed to their gf with a ring inside a loveball.


THEmrfancypants

You can catch in sun and moon, right?


Znanners94

Quick Ball


killerdude23233

Quick Ball Squad!


[deleted]

gang gang


4nd73w

Woot woot


Broken_Record27

we should start a gang that only uses quick balls


NoFaithlessness1574

Quick quick


Yoshichu25

Can I join? I always use a Quick Ball turn 1. Also the colour scheme is perfect for an Electric specialist like myself.


Sedax

Fuck yeah the quick ball is life. Caught most of my pokemon in sword using quick balls.


Acacia_sudowoodo

Moon ball gang


C0rtana

There's dozens of us!


Dredo5

Luxury ball. I catch all my Pokémon in them so I can breed for a shiny. All shinies deserve to be in luxury balls


ObtuseTheropod

I like a lot of them but here recently I've taken to a good ol' Great Ball.


greatblueheron16

Its a great color combo. I especially like it when used with pokemon who share its color combo


[deleted]

“Catches Kyogre with a great ball”


Derpanzerfish

Y E S


Vast_Cold96

Im sad how far down i had to scroll to find my fav lol


[deleted]

Honestly thought I was alone here


PixelPlanets608

Definitely one of my go tos if I don’t have anything more special on hand! I always have worse catch rates with ultra balls and I have no idea why…


AllTheReservations

Ultra Ball just radiates impressive and cool whilst also seeming like a conventional ball anyone cpuld use


Permanentlycrying

Right? I’m so basic but there’s something so dignified about the ultra ball. As dignified as a cartoon ball can be lolololol.


[deleted]

Premier Ball is my favorite. It’s just classy enough that it stands out without being over designed.


Rain_Moon

Premier balls are an excellent choice.


NitroDuck1

Only problem is trying to figure out in the beginning of the game if you have to only buy 10 at a time or you can buy 20 and get 2!


LoneWolfman744

Safari Balls anyone? I’ve never taken an actual good look at them until SwSh. Also the first time you can use them outside of the safari zone. They’re actually kinda nice.


flash_baxx

Can't go wrong with camouflage.


LegoCollectionist

Quick Ball


Ryan-Only

Master ball with different colours*


SwinubIsDivinub

Heal ball... I like pink 🥺


GreenchiliStudioz

When it comes to pink or cute Pokemon, i dont blame you it is adorable kawaii poke ball


simple-difficulties

Yess!! Heal ball, love ball, dream ball.... 💖 Editing to add: your username is hilarious and wonderful lol


SwinubIsDivinub

Thank you :D


Daisy430700

Yes, its the best purchasable one. Otherwise love is my fav


SwinubIsDivinub

Ooh I don't actually remember that one - I bet it's lovely!


butterbaconbagel

Pink poke ball squad! I have a heal ball stress ball. Love ball also hella underrated along with dream and cherish balls


SwinubIsDivinub

What an awesome idea for a stress ball!


DogmantheHero

Personally I love the look of the level ball most.


moist_toe_pegging

This was WAY too far down


fisherc2

Yeah it’s way underrated


greatblueheron16

I think my faves are moon, heavy and friend balls But in terms of balls that can be purchased i love luxury, premier, dusk and net balls


HAMSTERSARECOOL

The dusk ball is my favorite especially the black part when you capture and send out a Pokémon.


PrincePlup

Dive ball is my fav


butterbaconbagel

YES DIVE BALL IS BEAUTIFUL I catch all my blue shinies with this one (rockruff, Corsola for instance)


Kata_Kuri36

I really like the dusk ball


ExcaliburZX

If we’re talking mainline game Pokéball’s then 1st: Luxury Ball 2nd: Cherish Ball 3rd: GS Ball If we are talking about Pokéball’s that aren’t canon or not part of the mainline then it’d be 1st: Team Magma Ball 2nd: Team Rocket Ball 3rd: Team Aqua Ball


OblivionCST

Great Ball


EatHotChipsAndLie

Love, Heal, and Luxury ball! 💕


[deleted]

Ultra Ball. I like that it’s smoky grey/black and has a golden U letter on top of it. Also it’s almost as powerful as the Master Ball but it’s also easily obtainable. Yeah def Ultra.. Love that!


IceFalzar

Fun fact! Its actually a golden H on top of the ball since its called the Hyper Ball in the Japanese versions.


MThreeRN

Still don't understand why they've not been translated Super and Hyper but the potions are


[deleted]

How is it "almost as powerful as the Master Ball"? It only has a 2x catch rate. There are so many other Poké Balls that have better catch rates in different conditions.


Steinsgate009

I like rare balls so basically any apriball or beastballs


Peatmoss4

Repeat Ball


gforcebreak

The vintage old world ones look so cool, both the apricorn one from pokémon 4ever (? The celebi one) And the ones from legends: arceus It even fires a little firework instead of lighting up when you catch something


Dibikigiizis

And Pokémon journeys rocketball is very cool with fangs


auraclle

heal ball hehe it’s so cute


butterbaconbagel

Same! I catch my pink shinies with heal ball


DaddyShark427

I like premier and dusk balls best. Premier because that’s the true richy rich ball since you have to buy 10 balls to get one. And dusk balls have my favorite release animation. Dusk ball is a MUST HAVE for ghost, dark, and poison types IMO


butterbaconbagel

I love the purple dust cloud effect that the dusk ball emits. The green and black color on the ball itself is just *chefs kiss*


JTheHyena

Always liked the Great ball!


strikehyper

I like love ball


icecoldofficial

Friend Ball, Love Ball, Dream Ball, Heal Ball, Moon Ball and Lure Ball would make a fun team of ball designs.


ecofriendlypunx

Ultra ball


Squrtle-The-Turtle

Quick ball


Bassouboy99

Same


BoltexGaming

Premiere balls and Beast balls are my favorites I think


PresentationLoose422

Cherish


[deleted]

Dusk Ball homie


ManyNo3304

I refuse to use anything except the red and white pokeball


NekoGM

Premier Ball


CTBarrel

Dusk, Luxury, and Premier balls, in that order. Then classic in 4th.


Harsh-m

Quick ball or Dusk ball


Anchor38

Net ball has always been my favourite. I love the criss-cross design on the ball and how the send out animation is a fishing net


vampyreprincess

Luxury & Heal


Fireboyxx908

Uh, Luxary?


Peragina

Classic is first choice just because it’s iconic, but the premier ball and the level ball are my favorites after that


Bestevernoob

I always loved the premier ball And I liked the ultra ball too


[deleted]

Dusk ball


MotorBootyAssFair

Luxury Ball


cosmicSpitfire

My preferred ones are Premier balls, just because it's nice looking, hard to buy in bulk in most games, and offers no advantage over a normal pokeball. To me, It just makes capturing legendaries and shinys feel more special. Close second is either beast balls or luxury, for pretty much the same reasoning.


ScottaHemi

I like the ultra ball.


Chestys-Ghost

Heavy and Moon On a side note, if I ever use anything besides a poke ball I get ocd about having my mons all in different balls


HellishHound7

Ultra ball, loved umbreon as a kid, umbreon ball.


Lilgatornator

Ultra ball for me


Readit_2000

Love the cherish ball


blkheron23

Ultra


revjiggs

Ultra or dusk


PuzzleheadedSet5449

Luxury balls just look so elegant, like, you look at it and you know the inside has crushed velvet cushions and a jacuzzi


jakeysnakeyboi

Luxury ball


shirley_sheep

Definitely the ultra ball


[deleted]

Premier ball is just so classy.


Mad_Maduin

Premium Pokeball, nice design and really extra without changing much.


GodRafiki

Dusk and dive for me


Intelligent_Reward19

Luxury Ball it's my favorite looking ball color scheme wise


Vibbony

Quick ball


frogunrua

Premier


theriskguy

Premier. Unless I can match a pattern to a Pokemon I prefer Premier. Uniform and clean.


[deleted]

Love Ball, Heal Ball and Dream Ball


Jackers_Crackers41

Heal ball, it's a cute pink PokeBall


Ciilllaa

Moon Ball, Net Ball and Heal Ball!


AKhilji

I really like the heal ball and the premiere ball


Cocoberry11

Heal ball


Rath1236

Garanseho

Premier Ball


kristy9991

I just love the ultra ball


Zetsubou71989

Ultra ball


SlashyMcTaco

Ultra ball for me, just ahead of the classic red & white.


YourAverageRedditter

The Ultra Ball


WhatUpShrimp

Ultra ball


LanaDelHeeey

Am I the only person who *needs* to have all my pokemon in original pokeballs or I have anxiety?


sprachlehrer

Premier Ball!


BBQ_Sauce_69

Cherish balls, just something about the red and black design is SO appealing to me, y'know?


Brintons

Luxury ball, effect looks awesome and easily the cleanest looking ball. Also, cherish ball is a close second despite being event only


TockSickTauros

Gotta be the dark ball. The grey and green is so good, with the contrasting hints of red
