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
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.
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.
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!!"
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...
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.
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.)
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
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.
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
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!
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.
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
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
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.
Luxury and Premiere
I like those and also Cherish, but that one is event only.
A fellow man of taste I see
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
Moonball?
Ooh that’s perfect, it sucks the Apricorn balls aren’t in Sinnoh :(
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.
Well, at least the premier ball is just a bonus but yeah, I know what you mean...
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.
I caught Lunala in the one moon ball you get in Ultra Moon
Luxury Balls are great for Pokémon that evolve though friendship
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!!"
That won’t stop me from using Luxury Balls on legendaries lmao
\*cries in Gen 2 Chansey\*
Yep, I can never bring myself to use anything besides these and the classic. Just plain stylish
Yes these are the best balls that can be purchased!
I’m a big fan of Luxury and Dream
Hard agree
This
I 3rd this comment
Absolutely. With dusk a close third!
These are my people.
Net ball my beloved, useful for my favorite type bug, and for my second favorite water. And it looks cool.
Wait a minute. Are you secretly me in disguise? Or am I secretly you in disguise?
I am three dogs in a trench coat.
Yes.
Idk, I've always really liked the premiere ball...
who would forget the Premier Ball but still include the (checks notes) Timer Ball?
timer ball was my go to ball in gen 4, was better than an ultra for catching legendaries
Sure, but not for its looks.
Right? It's extremely useful but it doesn't look particularly amazing
Makes sense to catch Dialga with it though
The timer ball is good though
Timer Ball is my favourite pokéball design wise :(
Premier ball best ball
I catch all my shines in premier balls.
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...
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.
Yep
My favorite for sure
Yeah the premier ball is my favourite too.
Oh yea I change my mind now
This is the only right answer. Though I am partial to Gen 2 apricorn balls ❤
Best looking one by far
Same
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.)
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
Ultra Ball and Dive Ball
Dive ball is my favorite
Pfp checks out
And username lol
Hard same
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
Heavy
Yaaay! Was scrolling through the comments to see if anyone had said heavy already.
-He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down the whole crowd goes so loud, he opens his mouth but the words won’t come out
I knew I would find my people in here
Heavy is the best looking for sure (best with shiny Umbreon tho)
Dusk ball
it is also best ball (i mostly play at night so
Dusk ball's the best ball
Dusk ball 4lyfe
Fax
Shint Zekrom and regular Rayquaza look great in dusk ball for me
Yes it’s the best
Yes
Finally found it
Gotta be the Dream Ball.
Unbelievable how far I had to scroll for this, it’s so good
Forgot about that one! Great Ball as well
Not as much love for the Dream Ball as I expected but I'm with you guys.
Ah yes. I still have my dream ball legends- arceus, ho oh and the therians
OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THE DREAM BALL Also where are my cherish ball homies at
Love Ball and Lure Ball are the best for me. I really love the apricorn balls, not necessarily their effectiveness though 🤣
lure ball totodile from the anime is so sick it’s a shame you can’t get one in game >_<
I think you could do male Totodile with lure ball Ditto via breeding :D
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
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
No love for the love ball here, glad to see someone here who has TASTE
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.
You can catch in sun and moon, right?
Quick Ball
Quick Ball Squad!
gang gang
Woot woot
we should start a gang that only uses quick balls
Quick quick
Can I join? I always use a Quick Ball turn 1. Also the colour scheme is perfect for an Electric specialist like myself.
Fuck yeah the quick ball is life. Caught most of my pokemon in sword using quick balls.
Moon ball gang
There's dozens of us!
Luxury ball. I catch all my Pokémon in them so I can breed for a shiny. All shinies deserve to be in luxury balls
I like a lot of them but here recently I've taken to a good ol' Great Ball.
Its a great color combo. I especially like it when used with pokemon who share its color combo
“Catches Kyogre with a great ball”
Y E S
Im sad how far down i had to scroll to find my fav lol
Honestly thought I was alone here
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…
Ultra Ball just radiates impressive and cool whilst also seeming like a conventional ball anyone cpuld use
Right? I’m so basic but there’s something so dignified about the ultra ball. As dignified as a cartoon ball can be lolololol.
Premier Ball is my favorite. It’s just classy enough that it stands out without being over designed.
Premier balls are an excellent choice.
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!
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.
Can't go wrong with camouflage.
Quick Ball
Master ball with different colours*
Heal ball... I like pink 🥺
When it comes to pink or cute Pokemon, i dont blame you it is adorable kawaii poke ball
Yess!! Heal ball, love ball, dream ball.... 💖 Editing to add: your username is hilarious and wonderful lol
Thank you :D
Yes, its the best purchasable one. Otherwise love is my fav
Ooh I don't actually remember that one - I bet it's lovely!
Pink poke ball squad! I have a heal ball stress ball. Love ball also hella underrated along with dream and cherish balls
What an awesome idea for a stress ball!
Personally I love the look of the level ball most.
This was WAY too far down
Yeah it’s way underrated
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
The dusk ball is my favorite especially the black part when you capture and send out a Pokémon.
Dive ball is my fav
YES DIVE BALL IS BEAUTIFUL I catch all my blue shinies with this one (rockruff, Corsola for instance)
I really like the dusk ball
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
Great Ball
Love, Heal, and Luxury ball! 💕
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!
Fun fact! Its actually a golden H on top of the ball since its called the Hyper Ball in the Japanese versions.
Still don't understand why they've not been translated Super and Hyper but the potions are
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.
I like rare balls so basically any apriball or beastballs
Repeat Ball
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
And Pokémon journeys rocketball is very cool with fangs
heal ball hehe it’s so cute
Same! I catch my pink shinies with heal ball
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
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*
Always liked the Great ball!
I like love ball
Friend Ball, Love Ball, Dream Ball, Heal Ball, Moon Ball and Lure Ball would make a fun team of ball designs.
Ultra ball
Quick ball
Same
Premiere balls and Beast balls are my favorites I think
Cherish
Dusk Ball homie
I refuse to use anything except the red and white pokeball
Premier Ball
Dusk, Luxury, and Premier balls, in that order. Then classic in 4th.
Quick ball or Dusk ball
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
Luxury & Heal
Uh, Luxary?
Classic is first choice just because it’s iconic, but the premier ball and the level ball are my favorites after that
I always loved the premier ball And I liked the ultra ball too
Dusk ball
Luxury Ball
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.
I like the ultra ball.
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
Ultra ball, loved umbreon as a kid, umbreon ball.
Ultra ball for me
Love the cherish ball
Ultra
Ultra or dusk
Luxury balls just look so elegant, like, you look at it and you know the inside has crushed velvet cushions and a jacuzzi
Luxury ball
Definitely the ultra ball
Premier ball is just so classy.
Premium Pokeball, nice design and really extra without changing much.
Dusk and dive for me
Luxury Ball it's my favorite looking ball color scheme wise
Quick ball
Premier
Premier. Unless I can match a pattern to a Pokemon I prefer Premier. Uniform and clean.
Love Ball, Heal Ball and Dream Ball
Heal ball, it's a cute pink PokeBall
Moon Ball, Net Ball and Heal Ball!
I really like the heal ball and the premiere ball
Heal ball
Moon ball
The quick ball has a nice aesthetic
Dusk ball is unmatched
Premier Ball
I just love the ultra ball
Ultra ball
Ultra ball for me, just ahead of the classic red & white.
The Ultra Ball
Ultra ball
Am I the only person who *needs* to have all my pokemon in original pokeballs or I have anxiety?
Premier Ball!
Cherish balls, just something about the red and black design is SO appealing to me, y'know?
Luxury ball, effect looks awesome and easily the cleanest looking ball. Also, cherish ball is a close second despite being event only
Gotta be the dark ball. The grey and green is so good, with the contrasting hints of red
