One of the keys when we play Pokémon is to know more about the types of Poké ball that we meet available in it. It is one of those aspects that can make a difference as we progress through the game and that will help us to be winners. The range of these balls available is huge, so we will tell you more below.
There are a total of 23 different types of Poké balls available in the game. Each of them has its own characteristics, in addition to being more useful to be used with certain Pokémon, for example. We tell you more about each of them, as well as the ways in which we can achieve them when we are playing.
The usual thing is that these types of Poké Ball can be divided into different groups or categories, so that it is much easier to know what we are in this universe. These categories indicate the functionality of each of these types, because there are Poké balls that will be used in specific situations or that will work with specific types of Pokémon, for example. That is why it is more useful to divide these 23 types into three categories in total, so that we have better information about them.
Classic Poké Ball
The first category that we find is that of the classics, that is to say, those that we find from the first generation of this Pokémon universe. They are the most essential and that we are going to find at all times or that we will use them in any of the games in this world.
- Pokeball: It is the classic, the one of all the life. It is the one they give us at the beginning of the adventure and we can buy it in all the Pokémon Center stores by talking to the seller.
- Superball: It is similar to the previous one, although it has somewhat better capture probabilities, ideal with those Pokémon that are somewhat more complex to capture. It comes out in stores when we have obtained the Plant Medal in Pueblo Hoyuelo.
- ultra-ball: It is an even more effective option than the previous ones, perfect for those Pokémon that are complex to capture as we advance in the world. When we have obtained the Fairy Medal in Plié Town, it will begin to appear in stores.
- Masterball: It is the best Poké Ball that exists, because it allows us to catch any Pokémon with total reliability. The bad news is that there is only one in the entire game, which we can obtain when we have completed the main story. The recommendation is to use this type of Poké ball against Zacian and Zamazenta.
Poké Ball for Pokémon types
The second category that we find in the game Poké Balls can be considered for the various types of Pokémon that we meet in the various games. That is, there are types of Poké Ball that will work better with a specific type of Pokémon that comes our way. A certain type will help us to capture a Pokémon of a specific category when we find it. In this category we find many different Poké Balls, which you can see below:
- Diving Ball: This particular type works best with Pokémon that live in areas of water. It can be purchased at the main Pokémon Center in Artejo City, and the Rotochron League employee in the Wild Area usually has it for sale as well.
- Bait Ball: This type of Poké Ball works best with those Pokémon caught with the pole. In addition, Bolifacio is going to give it to us in the lobby of the Pueblo Amura Stadium.
- Dream Ball: This is a type that works best with those Pokémon that are asleep when we find them in the game. Bolifacio in the lobby of the Ciudad Puntera Stadium is going to give it to us.
- Entity Ball: This specific type is used to catch Ultra Beasts that appear in other regions (it will not work with normal Pokémon that we find in the game). We will be able to buy it at the Bargain Stand in Pueblo Ladera, yes, once we have completed the main story in the game.
- Moonball: This is a type that works best with Pokémon that can evolve with the Moonstone. Again, Bolifacio is going to give it to us, in this case in the lobby of the Pueblo Auriga Stadium.
- Mesh Ball: This type will work best with either Water-type or Bug-type Pokémon. It can be purchased at the Pokémon Center in the lower area of Piston Town. In addition, the employee of the Rotochron League, in the Wild Area, usually also has it for sale.
- Nest Ball: This type of Poké Ball works best with low-level Pokémon. We will be able to buy it at the Pokémon Center in the lower area of Piston City. As in other cases, it is for sale from the Rotocrono League employee, in the Wild Area.
- Ball level: It is a type that will work better with those Pokémon that have a level directly lower than ours. Bolifacio in the lobby of the Ciudad Artejo Stadium is going to give it to us.
- Nightfall Ball: This Poké Ball is a type that will be best at night and with Pokémon that live in dark areas in the game universe. It can be purchased at the main Pokémon Center in Artejo City. In addition, as in other types, it is usually for sale by the employee of the Rotocrono League, in the Wild Area.
- Ball Weight: It is a very specific type, which will work better with those Pokémon that are very heavy. Bolifacio in the lobby of the Pueblo Ladera Stadium is going to give us this specific type.
- Quickball: The last one in this category works best with Pokémon that are very fast and therefore somewhat complex to capture. Obtained as a reward for completing 11 circuits of the Rotochron in the Wilderness Area.
Poké Ball for specific purposes
Not only are there types of Poké Balls for certain types of Pokémon, but there are we also have them for effects or situations determined. This may mean that they are specific models to capture a Pokémon that we already have, or that it is of the same species, but of a different sex, for example. That is, they are very specific types that we will be able to use in very specific situations as we progress through the game. We tell you more about these types, in addition to saying in which specific cases we are going to be able to make use of them.
- Ball Gathering: It is a type of Poké Ball that is going to work with those Pokémon that you have already caught at least once before. It can be purchased at the main Pokémon Center in Topo City. In addition, the employee of the Rotochron League, in the Wild Area usually has it for sale as well.
- Friend Ball: Its main function or characteristic is that it instantly increases the friendship you have with the Pokémon trapped at that moment. Bolifacio in the lobby of the Pueblo Hoyuelo Stadium is going to give it to us.
- Love Ball: It is a category that will work with Pokémon of the same species but of the opposite sex to the one we already have today. Bolifacio is going to give it to us in the lobby of the Pueblo Plié Stadium.
- Honor Ball: This specific type is just as effective as a basic Poké Ball, the classic of all life. We will get it for every time we buy 10 normal Poké Balls in any store. That is, the purchase of 10 normal Poké Balls results in us getting a unit of it.
- Luxury Ball: This type quickly increases the level of friendship with the Pokémon caught at that moment. It can be purchased from the main Pokémon Center in Topo City. In addition, it is common for the employee of the Rotocrono League in the Wild Area to have it for sale when we meet in that place.
- Healthy Ball: This specific type has the ability to restore HP and PP and also heals the status problems of the trapped Pokémon. It can be purchased at the Pokémon Center in the lower area of Piston Town. The Rotocrono League employee in the Wild Area usually has it for sale as well.
- Turn Ball: This type will allow us to improve its capture probability as more turns of combat pass in the game. We can buy it at the main Pokémon Center in Artejo City. The Rotocrono League employee in the Wild Area also has it for sale.
- Speed Ball: It is a specific type that will work better when we have to capture a Pokémon in the first turn of the fight. It is available for sale at the main Pokémon Center in Leading Town. The Rotochron League employee in the Wild Area usually has it for sale, as with most of these special types.
