If you could invent your own Poké Ball...

There are various Poké Ball types throughout the games, but there's eligibility and vast possibility for there to be hundreds of Poké Ball types. So if you were to create your own Poké Ball with it's own unique traits (aside from just catch rate), what would your Poké Ball do?

The Petilil Ball. It catches Petilil. And that's it. Cause that's all you need. Easy!

Sydian, oh my gosh! :D

Main topic:
There's a Dive Ball and Net Ball for Water-types, why not Lava Ball for Fire, Ground and Rock Pokemon?
I think a Dragon Ball for Dragon types would work, pun not intended!

I like both the Lava Ball & Dragon Ball ideas...

& what about a Fairy Ball, which would make it easier to capture Fairy-types & any non-faries in the Fairy egg group?
EDITED: (IF there are any non-fairies in the egg group...)

That sounds better...

-flips hair- I know. I'm hilarious.

Coming back to seriously add on, we have the Moon Ball that helps catch Pokemon that evolve with Moon Stones, and that's not really too many. It'd be nice to have a ball that increased chances of catching Pokemon that evolve from stones regardless of which stone it is.

Id like a Pokeball called the Restore Ball. It could act as an Ultra Ball, but when you catch the Pokemon it's health and status gets fully restored. That way you don't catch a Pokemon that you poisoned and then it die the second you get it in a Nuzlocke Challenge. And you can use your Pokemon the second you catch them and not have to rush them to a Pokemon Center.

Hey, that's an idea! A Bomb Ball that makes it easier to catch pokemon that can somehow learn Self-Destruct or Explosion!

Uh... how am I typing without a head?

I would invent the Cute Ball. This ball would have a 100% success rate on all adorable Pokemon such as Castform. Another that I could possibly invent would be the Legend Ball which has a higher success rate for legendary Pokemon.

I would like a ball called the Egg Ball, based on the last Pokemon you've caught, it has a better chance of catching a Pokemon in the same Egg Group of said last caught Pokemon.

I believe you're thinking of a Heal Ball, my friend. But the multiplier is just that of a Pokeball, so eh. Ultra Ball multiplier would be nicer.

Something like the Fairy Ball would be cool. It could work great on trying to catch Fairy-Type Pokémon.--

Uhh, a Legend Ball (x3 on legendary pokémon), Wonder ball (x3 on Fairy and Psychic pokémon) and a Sycamore Ball (x3 on pokémon that can mega evolve/evolve into pokémon that can mega evolve).

Chaos Ball (Drops the friendliness to zero when catch and doesn't go up)
Order Ball (When catch friendliness's time will be be sped up by 3x each battle/level/whatever)
Dragonslayer Ball (Catches dragon-types with ease on low HP)
Derp Ball (10% chance to One-shot-catch a Pokémon who uses useless attacks such as Splash and Odor)

I'd make a Flake Ball. It would be nice and purdy in Glaceon's colour palette and have a snowflake on it and it would have a higher catch rate on Ice Types and also heal the said Ice Types upon capture, but work like a regular PokéBall for every other type xD

And I'd also make a Sky Ball for Flying Types.

And I think starters should come in Starter Balls. Said Balls should have a flame, a raindrop and a leaf on them and would remove status effects whenever you recalled your Pokémon xD

I would make an Aggression Ball, which would raise the effort values of your Pokémon's Attack stat by two points every time you level it up. This could be very helpful if you're planning to maximize the strength of your physical-attacking Pokémon. I'd also make a Shield Ball. It would do the same job, but only with your Defense and Sp. Defense stats. (:

How about the Obtain ball?
By catching the Pokémon, the item hold by the Pokemon
will be directly go through your bag and multiplies exp by 2.
Or maybe like Frost ball?
Makes Ice type catch easier and by catching Ice types
with Frost ball, doubles the Special attack of the main
Ice type Pokémon. That would be great, kinda of.
