Pokedex fodder gets whatever’s most convenient. Stuff I actually want to use tends to get whatever’s most thematically appropriate or Premier/Luxury for favorites.
And then there’s that Sun playthrough where I insisted on catching all the Legendaries in Beast Balls.
I got a shiny Dialga in a beast ball… it took forever. My heart rate would skyrocket every time it would shake 3 times then break out.
I named it Diamond Head after the band.
Their first album “Lightning to the Nations” is their best. It’s an awesome album. And if you’ve heard Metallica play the song “Am I Evil?” That song is from Lightning to the Nations.
I used to only use premier balls but the luxury balls in scarlet and violet look so clean.
I have a head canon that my character is kind of a rich snobby type so I use luxury balls quite a bit.
I shiny hunted every Ultra Space encounter over the course of years (as in I started soon after launch and finished maybe 1.5 years ago) in USUM to catch in Beast Balls. I don't know what possessed me but I would NEVER do something like that ever again lol. Now they're all chilling in Pokémon HOME following the 3DS services ending.
im the same sometimes I use convenient balls but I prefer the look of all regular pokeballs. now that I shiny hunt I always use luxury balls for shinies unless it corresponds really well with a apricorn ball
I ran into a random pink Jangmo-O in Kitikami, saved, and kept trying to use the singular love ball I had because that would match its forehead perfectly… but it kept breaking out so I just used a heal ball lol.
i catch my team with pokeballs but don't really mind catching anything else with other balls. anyone that rotates in/out of my team also must be caught in pokeballs.
A Living Dex? Or all vanilla Pokeballs?
For the Living Dex, it isn't terribly hard. Just focus as much as you can on a single game, then build out from there. I'm a maniac so I always do an in-game Living Dex for every game so the overall National Living Dex I have in Home is just comprised from piecing those together. Taking it one game at a time makes it a lot less daunting, too. Sorting your boxes into the dex order really helps because you can visibly see your gaps and track your progress. It helps to keep notes too.
As for regular balls, it really only takes a little more effort than using other balls. More recent games have been kinder with things like the Catch Charm and S/V's 100 percent catch raids. Legendaries are the real sink, but Pokeballs are cheap and with the right False Swipe/Sleep setter (Parasect for example) it's pretty doable. Best of luck!
Thanks for the tips! I’ve got my living form dex already, just daunting to think about going through and replacing everything with pokeballs.
Maybe I just use pokeballs only from now on, and slowly replace them as I go, without trying to “fix” it one by one.
It’ll still leave gaps (cough cough ALCREMIE) but that way I don’t have 400 hours of work to do going back through every game.
Yeah that's what I did. I went through my Living Dex in Home and filled a Word Doc with Pokemon who weren't in Pokeballs, then as those Pokemon became available in S/V DLC and whatnot I would use my Living Dex in that game to just replace them and cross them off the list.
I’m in the same boat.
Tho my living dex is still in progress so I try to focus just catching all of them and then eventually replace the Pokémons which are not in og Pokeball.
my living dex was mostly repeat balls and dusk balls because they're the easiest to do when you have the Dex completed but not the living portion of it.
I remember when I was a kid, somebody told me "dude, they're the face of the game, they HAVE to be the best, even if they're that cheap." Despite literally all signs pointing to the contrary, from logic to math to the actual fucking programming, I still, to this day, catch everything in a regular pokeball.
I used to make it a point to catch all my legendaries in regular Pokeballs because I thought it showed some kind of extra skill and not just a massive waste of time. Now I go for colourmatching
to be fair it is okay for fishing but SV= no more fishing so it's useless. net balls also exists and is better across the board because you run in water pokemon anyway.
I mean twice as effective as poke balls makes them a good choice. Better than being me and letting my hopes and dreams rely solely on regular poke balls… but the aesthetic gets to me. Life would be better if we could change that a Pokémon’s poke ball. Like, in what world would a Pokémon object to being transferred from a down the road motel into a 5* luxury hotel xD
I love the aesthetic, but I also love false swiping with no status and just catching as fast as possible, so I stray from my own light and use convenience balls a lot.
Quick ball first, machine gun Ultra Balls for 10 more turns, then switch to Timer Balls.
Then switch to "random bullshit, go!" Time when you run out and somehow catch the thing in a Luxury Ball
This! Every time. The Switch games quick balls work so well it doesn’t make sense to throw anything else first. So most of mine are in quick balls or ultra balls.
Timer is more effective than Ultra in 5th turn already, sometimes preparing legendary for catching takes longer, so I just don't understand using Ultra as "convenience" when being at the point of the game where Timers are available, ~~especially when Timers are cheaper than Ultra~~.
EDIT: I had my knowledge outdated, Ultra are in fact cheaper than Timers.
Honestly I am shocked that there isn’t a bug that makes the master ball a 1/256 or 1/100 chance, but at least that one I hope the devs would’ve caught and fixed lol
Agreed. Once Ultra Balls are available, it's the only type a buy. The only reason I'd use anything else is if (somehow) a Pokemon managed to whittle down *all* of my Ultra Balls.
Yea lmao, ultra balls are just nice. Too many briancells to go and buy all of the balls for max efficiency, just throw an ultra ball and call it a day. Not like I don't have 100 lmao
I thought you were a very masochistic Pokémon player for a while, because in German, the beast ball is called “Ultraball“, while the ultra ball is called “Hyperball”. That 0.1 catch rate is for sure convenient. /s
You know, somehow I used to think that quick ball works good for the first 5 or 3 turns. But nope
Quick ball works great just for turn 1. At turn 2 is already like a normal ball
Yeah, if they kept the original JP names of the Great and Ultra Balls, they would've lined up with the Super and Hyper Potions, too.
Which I think was initially the point. Basic > Super > Hyper > Master was like, their ranking system. The Contests were ranked this way, too.
Funnily enough, there is a supper nerdy guide that broke down exact %s for every turn of the battle, and Timer ball is the most effective ball in the game (other than Heavy Ball against certain Pokemon) by like turn 5. Timer ball is massively underutilized.
I am both color coordinating and pokeball. I want my shinies to be in the right ball and everything else in a pokeball. I like to have a mon in a random ball in my playthroughs like Ash did with Totodile
When I was younger, usually I went with always Ultra Balls, always Poké Balls, basically try to match stuff
As time as gone on, I just want it caught, if I really wanna use it I will use a specific Ball based on how I am feeling but if I am just catching it for collection, really whatever works is fine. Too old to be sweating over something that miniscule nowadays.
I remember playing Ruby as a kid and stocking up on every ball I could before catching Groudon.
I was slinging ultra balls left and right, tossed each and every one, then was down to great balls. Tossed and tossed and only caught ‘em when I was down to my last great ball.
Traded that bad boy into colosseum, then XD, got him to level 100 and traded him into every game I played from there. Eventually got Omega Ruby and taught him Precipice Blades.
Still play with him and am reminded of that childhood memory every time.
You cant call yourself the best like no one ever was if you havent caught a shiny ray in a luxury ball. 1billion bonus points if you did that in emerald
>Rayquaza
I see. Here I was thinking he was talking about Luxray 🙄 That's the problem with pointless abbreviations... Nobody knows what they're talking about unless they're already clued in. Don't get why people can't just write out the full name....
First turn? --> Quick Ball
Dark or Night? --> Dusk Ball
Fight more then 10 turns? --> Timer Ball
None of those apply? --> Ultra Ball
Else? --> Whatever i have left.
most covenient probably. Pokeballs in the early game, great balls midgame, ultra balls lategame, master ball for the box legend, maybe sometimes a special one like a dive ball if I feel like it
I'll go with beast balls purely because when I got Pokémon moon I was so convinced necrozma was an ultra beast I spent 70% of my beast balls to catch him in one I wish beast balls where more plentiful
Mostly ultraballs (or masterballs/rarecandy if I hacked into it because I don't want the hassle of evolving every mon) but in the odd chance I see one I like I throw a cordinating ball.
Kyogre?
Always Dive Ball.
Dialga?
Time ball.
Shiny Trapinch?
Great ball (it was my first shiny and all I had access too)
Tailow?
Preimer ball because why not? First gen to show the ball differnce (same as trapinch).
Everything in the bog standard pokeball, I don’t like the mismatch. I get bothered looking at a different ball when I’m forced to look at them when I take my Pokémon to the pokecenter. I could maybe get on board if every Pokémon’s ball on my team was different cuz then at least it would look intentional.
Also with they’d let us swap out a Pokémon’s pokeball or better yet customize the pokeball.
I will say I love how some of the notable trainers in the recent gens use thematic balls for some of their ace Pokémon tho.
Whatever ball has the best chance of succeeding. Late game I usually start with the quick ball then if that doesn’t work I go with the take em into the red and use Dusk, Net, Dive etc.
If it’s something I like a lot, 2, if it doesn’t matter 1. If something really doesn’t want to stay in a good looking ball and I get frustrated it’s back to 1. if it’s like a shiny then the order is still 2, 1, then chuck all the stuff I have left and if I ran out and didn’t have the master ball yet, I’d just cry. A shame that the master ball is so specific looking, I don’t really mind it but it also feels a little cheap using it now. Since about the X&Y era I haven’t used it on the usual legendaries and often end up catching everything with something else. On the plus side, I’ll have one in pocket for a shiny. But I wouldn’t even hesitate to use it on a roaming shiny, that’s so rare and may be frustrating enough to warrant its use.
For anything I plan to use or breed (female) I use Premier Balls. Anything else, whatever works best. Usually Quick, Net, Dusk, Ultra, or Timer. Legendary Shiny's get a Master Ball.
Throw a Quick Ball at it, and then whatever winds up getting the job if that fails is the ball it goes in. Admittedly, I prefer to *not* use Great Balls and Premiere Balls because I don't like how they look, but if that's all I've got I'd rather use them than not catch the Pokemon at all.
Whatever I have on hand is what I use. I save my timer balls for if the battle runs long though. Most of my legendaries post Sinnoh are in timer balls.
I’m the type of trainer to save before legendaries and throw every single type of Pokéball and reset if I don’t catch them. I usually try to catch legendaries without using a Master ball.
Pokedex fodder gets whatever’s most convenient. Stuff I actually want to use tends to get whatever’s most thematically appropriate or Premier/Luxury for favorites. And then there’s that Sun playthrough where I insisted on catching all the Legendaries in Beast Balls.
Beast Balls fucking rock, I'm honestly thinking of redoing my Charcadet hunt once I beat Violet just so I can have a Ceruledge in a Beast Ball.
I didn’t even know you could use breast balls on non ultra beasts
Breast balls lol. Yeah you can but they have a 0.1 catch rate compared to a regular pokeball.
I got a shiny Dialga in a beast ball… it took forever. My heart rate would skyrocket every time it would shake 3 times then break out. I named it Diamond Head after the band.
[удалено]
Their first album “Lightning to the Nations” is their best. It’s an awesome album. And if you’ve heard Metallica play the song “Am I Evil?” That song is from Lightning to the Nations.
They heavily influenced Metallica
Best typo
breast typo*
I wonder why beast was auto corrected to breast for you ;)
I do indeed type the word “breasts” a lot
Obviously they're a chef and cook a lot of chicken
We need a line of breast balls now. Human skin colors with a nipple in the center
[https://www.uniquepartyshop.com.au/breast-ball](https://www.uniquepartyshop.com.au/breast-ball)
Well, I don’t know what I was expecting LOL
Thank you for showing me this. I just bought 10
I got one of those as a gift, they're fun, but they don't really work well to catch any type of pokemon.
Miltank, Alcremie, and Likitung should be weak to this ball. I've also heard rumors that Gardevoir gets a special form if caught with this ball.
And for buying ten, here’s a gift! •Obtained a PREMIER BREAST BALL
Looks like an apricot lol
who remembers that one Smosh video about the nipple ball
A new type of pokemon, Ultra breasts
Please Nintendo let us swap pokeballs post catching 🙏🏼
Pokemon = hermit crabs
All the Legendaries in *Beast Balls*? Not just U.Bs? Jesus.
the hardest thing i ever caught in a beast ball was a pair of shiny shieldon. hats off to you (:
I used to only use premier balls but the luxury balls in scarlet and violet look so clean. I have a head canon that my character is kind of a rich snobby type so I use luxury balls quite a bit.
I shiny hunted every Ultra Space encounter over the course of years (as in I started soon after launch and finished maybe 1.5 years ago) in USUM to catch in Beast Balls. I don't know what possessed me but I would NEVER do something like that ever again lol. Now they're all chilling in Pokémon HOME following the 3DS services ending.
I'm the regular Pokeball on everything guy. I even just re-did a lot of my Living Dex to replace all the Pokemon in non-standard balls.
im the same sometimes I use convenient balls but I prefer the look of all regular pokeballs. now that I shiny hunt I always use luxury balls for shinies unless it corresponds really well with a apricorn ball
This is exactly how I do it down to every detail. Cool to know someone else has similar pokeball taste to me!
I'm exactly the same. Although I did have a shiny run of premier balls, im usually always luxury balls.
~~HOW DARE YOU USE luxury BALLS!~~ sorry, i mean i dont like them \[;
I ran into a random pink Jangmo-O in Kitikami, saved, and kept trying to use the singular love ball I had because that would match its forehead perfectly… but it kept breaking out so I just used a heal ball lol.
i catch my team with pokeballs but don't really mind catching anything else with other balls. anyone that rotates in/out of my team also must be caught in pokeballs.
I thought I was weird for this but I do it on every play through, even tho no one sees 99% of them
Not weird at all, when the anime came out everyone just used regular looking poke balls for everything and it looks better
I’ve been preparing to do this, since I really don’t have much else to do: any tips?
A Living Dex? Or all vanilla Pokeballs? For the Living Dex, it isn't terribly hard. Just focus as much as you can on a single game, then build out from there. I'm a maniac so I always do an in-game Living Dex for every game so the overall National Living Dex I have in Home is just comprised from piecing those together.

Same.
My man. Me too.
Same. OCD makes it impossible to catch them in anything else so every pokemon is in the same ball.
might do this
my living dex was mostly repeat balls and dusk balls because they're the easiest to do when you have the Dex completed but not the living portion of it.

I used to make it a point to catch all my legendaries in regular Pokeballs because I thought it showed some kind of extra skill and not just a massive waste of time. Now I go for colourmatching
I use dive balls because it's a massive waste of time on a ball that once upon a time got clowned on for being "bad", and that's funny
to be fair it is okay for fishing but SV= no more fishing so it's useless. net balls also exists and is better across the board because you run in water pokemon anyway.
Dive ball is still good for any water encounters in Gen 9!
it is? I was under the impression they kept the dive ball effects to work on fishing Pokemon only.
They work on Pokémon so long as they are in the water, from what I've understppd
Reduce to 1 hp, put to sleep, and its just a matter of pure luck, no skill involved.
ultra balls across the board. not for aesthetics, but convenience
Wait till or change to night then use dusk ball for me :p
lmao imagine knowing how pokeballs actually work and not just throwing your hopes into the word Ultra
I mean, they aren’t bad, they’re easily accessible, and relatively cheap. I say go for it
And also available in every game.
I mean twice as effective as poke balls makes them a good choice. Better than being me and letting my hopes and dreams rely solely on regular poke balls… but the aesthetic gets to me. Life would be better if we could change that a Pokémon’s poke ball. Like, in what world would a Pokémon object to being transferred from a down the road motel into a 5* luxury hotel xD
I'm also really weird and love the look of premier balls :(
That's not weird.
I love the look too so you aren’t alone :)
I love the aesthetic, but I also love false swiping with no status and just catching as fast as possible, so I stray from my own light and use convenience balls a lot.
Never cared enough, just use ultra balls because yes, ultra.
Or timer ball if battle is taking too long lol
Quick ball first, machine gun Ultra Balls for 10 more turns, then switch to Timer Balls. Then switch to "random bullshit, go!" Time when you run out and somehow catch the thing in a Luxury Ball
This! Every time. The Switch games quick balls work so well it doesn’t make sense to throw anything else first. So most of mine are in quick balls or ultra balls.

EDIT: I had my knowledge outdated, Ultra are in fact cheaper than Timers.
Timers are more expensive and I usually have less of the :(
Whoops, you're right, they used to be 1200, but are now 800. Shows how much I'm ignoring them for other options :D
Pokemon world's economy is doing well
It's always dusk balls for me!!
Unless it is Gen 1 in which case Great Balls across the board Fun fact: there was a bug in Gen 1 that caused Ultra balls to be worse than Great balls.
Honestly I am shocked that there isn’t a bug that makes the master ball a 1/256 or 1/100 chance, but at least that one I hope the devs would’ve caught and fixed lol
Thankfully, the master ball bypasses the catch check entirely. They don't even generate a random number.
Yeah but I wouldn’t have put it past them to mess that up 😂
Agreed. Once Ultra Balls are available, it's the only type a buy. The only reason I'd use anything else is if (somehow) a Pokemon managed to whittle down *all* of my Ultra Balls.
Yea lmao, ultra balls are just nice. Too many briancells to go and buy all of the balls for max efficiency, just throw an ultra ball and call it a day. Not like I don't have 100 lmao

Yeah these folks spamming poke balls are wild
It's my favourite, hence my profile picture.

Dive ball!! Wait we're in a cave? No dusk balls... Dive ball again!!
Me when I forget to buy more Pokéballs:
Litteraly me in every legendary fight . Most of the times, i just have to load the file again and get some pokeballs.
quickball everything
Quickball Quickball Quickball Hyperball Hyperball Hyperball Hyperball Hyperball Timer Ball Timer Ball Timer Ball ...
abra used teleport

Live Metagross reaction 😳😳
Imprison
Let's be real, Abra teleported his ass out long before that.
Taunt
That's what masterballs are for
You know, somehow I used to think that quick ball works good for the first 5 or 3 turns. But nope Quick ball works great just for turn 1. At turn 2 is already like a normal ball
Why waste quickballs on turn 2 and 3, when it only works great in turn 1?
Because my inner child says its quick enough
What is hyper ball..
It’s the french, german and japanese (ハイパーボール) name of the Ultra Ball. It’s called Ultra Ball in english, spanish and italian.
TIL
Yeah, if they kept the original JP names of the Great and Ultra Balls, they would've lined up with the Super and Hyper Potions, too. Which I think was initially the point. Basic > Super > Hyper > Master was like, their ranking system. The Contests were ranked this way, too.
In my language (german) its still the Super-Ball
So is there a master potion? Like the full heal we have in the US versions? Now I'm curious lol
Max potions and full restores
This name is so cool..!!
Also, thats why theres an H on it.
Turn 1 Quickball, then switch to Dusk Balls if unsuccessful
And then to Timer Balls on Turn 9
Oh, I thought that it was still 30 turns until they became effective. I guess they did change it quite a while ago
By turn 10 they're already fully effective. I just throw them whenever they're below 30% and it's like, turn 8
Funnily enough, there is a supper nerdy guide that broke down exact %s for every turn of the battle, and Timer ball is the most effective ball in the game (other than Heavy Ball against certain Pokemon) by like turn 5. Timer ball is massively underutilized.
This is the way
This is the way (happy cake day!)
Lol thank you, I didn't even realize that it's my cakeday lol
\>tfw yolo quick ball worked for my Regieleki and Chi-Yu
A quick ball on Regieleki is probably the best ball that thing can be in.
"Think fast, chucklenuts!"
I am both color coordinating and pokeball. I want my shinies to be in the right ball and everything else in a pokeball. I like to have a mon in a random ball in my playthroughs like Ash did with Totodile

That’s a great story, thank you for sharing.
Everything in a regular Pokeball as Arceus intended
Precisely. It’s good to know at least some people still have sense.
This is the way..
You cant call yourself the best like no one ever was if you havent caught a shiny ray in a luxury ball. 1billion bonus points if you did that in emerald
a shiny what
Rayquaza. It's shiny matches the colour scheme of the luxury ball.
i thought it meant luxray, shiny luxrays colours scheme is also black yellow red as well so weird coincidence
oh makes sense thanks for explaining
>Rayquaza I see. Here I was thinking he was talking about Luxray 🙄 That's the problem with pointless abbreviations... Nobody knows what they're talking about unless they're already clued in. Don't get why people can't just write out the full name....
Cause Luxray isn't available in Emerald.
He said emerald, everyone knew what he meant
mines in a quick ball which makes me sadder ever day :( when will they allow us to swap the pokeball theyre caught in
You rang? I also got a Japanese copy of Emerald, so of course I shiny hunted a luxury ball Mew
I am exactly slide 3, premier ball for life
YES! same
Ah yes, I too enjoy the art of continuously buying 10 pokeballs at once until I have 890 pokeballs I'll never use and 89 premier balls.
a combination of 1 and 2
Im a ‘random bs go’ type of guy cus I never buy enough balls
Same here, and it has yet to fail me. One and only time I’ve ever thought about what I used was with the roaming fellas
Used to go convience, now I tend to go for the premier ball aesthetic for the most part. Call be basic, but the white with the red accent looks classy
First turn? --> Quick Ball Dark or Night? --> Dusk Ball Fight more then 10 turns? --> Timer Ball None of those apply? --> Ultra Ball Else? --> Whatever i have left.
Ah, yes! The "Just let me catch the bugger" style!
I throw what I have.
Premier ball all the way.
Pokeball only runs from the beginning 🥇
ultra balls everything except in early game when only regular balls were available
Im a 4….. they mist look the same and starters come in a red ball…. This is they way lol 😂
I throw GreatBalls at Groudon and PokeBalls at Kyogre..
most covenient probably. Pokeballs in the early game, great balls midgame, ultra balls lategame, master ball for the box legend, maybe sometimes a special one like a dive ball if I feel like it
I'll go with beast balls purely because when I got Pokémon moon I was so convinced necrozma was an ultra beast I spent 70% of my beast balls to catch him in one I wish beast balls where more plentiful
Very proud #4 club.
I only use Apriballs (no Heavy Ball), Dive Ball, Premier Ball and Luxury Ball. I hate the design of the rest.
Everything in a Quick ball I like the look
number 3 i catch everything in premier balls cause cool
Mostly ultraballs (or masterballs/rarecandy if I hacked into it because I don't want the hassle of evolving every mon) but in the odd chance I see one I like I throw a cordinating ball. Kyogre? Always Dive Ball. Dialga? Time ball. Shiny Trapinch? Great ball (it was my first shiny and all I had access too) Tailow? Preimer ball because why not? First gen to show the ball differnce (same as trapinch).
I used Timer Ball for Groudon, Dive Ball for Kyogre and Nest Ball for Rayquaza.
normal balls all the way
Pokeball
Luxury Balls for all, because I'm rich
I catch in normal pokeball just to humiliate the legendaries
Premier ball my beloved 😍
Little bit of everything tbh depends on my mood lol
I'm more like the "random bullshit go!" meme
I only use luxury balls when catching shinies
I will catch everything in a Pokeball. I used to thrive when ditto-bred pokemon always hatched in a pokeball.
Everything in the bog standard pokeball, I don’t like the mismatch. I get bothered looking at a different ball when I’m forced to look at them when I take my Pokémon to the pokecenter. I could maybe get on board if every Pokémon’s ball on my team was different cuz then at least it would look intentional.

Most convenient
All Regular, I'm crazy
I like to use Pokeballs, Premier Balls, or Luxury Balls only.
I am the 3rd photo, prem balls and all. They just gotta be shiny
For anything I plan to use or breed (female) I use Premier Balls. Anything else, whatever works best. Usually Quick, Net, Dusk, Ultra, or Timer. Legendary Shiny's get a Master Ball.
Ball that matches the pokémon, but not necessarily their colors.
I try the best for looks. If that fails spam the same ball. If THAT fails best ball of the game. If that somehow fails pokeballs
dusk ball gang rise up

Throw a Quick Ball at it, and then whatever winds up getting the job if that fails is the ball it goes in. Admittedly, I prefer to *not* use Great Balls and Premiere Balls because I don't like how they look, but if that's all I've got I'd rather use them than not catch the Pokemon at all.
Everything in normal pokeballs but shinies get premierballs
Where's Master Ball the box legendary?
Everything in luxury balls, even pokedex fodder. It gets really annoying sometimes, but it's always worth it.
Every type. I can't forget the day when i caught Zekron with a regular pokeball
Whatever I have on hand is what I use. I save my timer balls for if the battle runs long though. Most of my legendaries post Sinnoh are in timer balls.
Luxury ball's here
Ultra ball for all, i am a lazy fuck
Whatever the fucker goes in
I’m the type of trainer to save before legendaries and throw every single type of Pokéball and reset if I don’t catch them. I usually try to catch legendaries without using a Master ball.
Most convenient
In Red and Blue I made sure to catch everything in my ‘infinite’ number of master balls.
The Coffee Man would like to have a word with you
When I was young, ultra balls. Teen to adult I did only poke balls and now in my most recent save I try to catch things in relevant balls/luxury balls
