There are thousands of different Poké Balls out there. If you were given the chance to create your own, what would you name it, and what would its effect(s) be? How would you imagine its design to be? Could it be bought from stores, or would be required to do other things in order to get a hold of them?

There's thousands of different pokeballs??? o__o

I've always wanted a contrast to a Dusk Ball... a Dawn Ball? Works better in the daytime and outdoors. hehe.

Maybe an Aerial ball for flying types and levitaters?

Hmm my mind is juggling the scene of creativity right now ~_~
Here it goes...
  • Magnetic Ball: Supremely increases catch rate of Steel-Type pokemons (Only be given if trainer catches more than 100 steel type pokemon) :P
  • Affection Ball: same catch rate as pokeball, but increase happiness factory by 25% when caught (Made using Red, Blue and Yellow Apr)
  • Static Ball: normal catch rate, but greatly increase catch rate when pokemon is paralyze or asleep (1000 Poke Money / Found on any city)
  • Poltergeist Ball: Normal catch rate for non-ghost type, 35x catch rate against GHOST-TYPE pokemon
  • Mega Ball: Normal catch rate without having mega evolution, 50x catch rate to pokemon that can mega evolve (this case, you catch pinsir for example, that pinsir can evolve to mega, so catch rate is higher) (Only once after certain task :P)

ok.. I think I went too far

I'd likely make a Mineral Ball, a silver pokeball with diamonds encursted around it, it'd be doubly effective against Rock, Steel and Ground types.

I'd probably open my own little store in like Canalave and sell them there, the people going to Iron Island are going to buy them all up and I'll be a millionaire who'll move to Undella Town.

Eviolite Ball: Capture rate increases if the Pokemon is not at it's final stage evolution form. (x3) It has the same shiny pinkish colour the Eviolite has on top of the Pokeball. White underside.

Target Ball: Same catch rate as a Great Ball but is able to 'lock on' to one Pokemon in a horde battle or if the Pokemon is in a semi-invulnerable state such is in the sky (Fly) or underwater (Dive) or in the shadows (Phantom Force/Shadow Force).
It has a target pattern circling on top of the Pokeball. White underside.

I imagine these Pokeballs would be able to bought in late game marts for 1000 pokedollars each.

As for me, I'd probably make "Legend Ball." Aside from via lotteries, it could be found only once per game, just like Master Ball. This ball may only be used on legendaries, and has hundred-percent capture rate. If used on a non-legend, the Pokémon will break free. Another would be "Attack Ball." Whenever Pokémon are captured in it, they'd be gaining Attack EVs much faster.

HP Ball, Protein Ball, Iron Ball, Calcium Ball, Zinc Ball, Carbos Ball.

They have the same catch rate as your standard Ultra Ball, but with the benefit of instantly adding 100 EVs of their respective stat to your captured pokémon.

The hold item that grounds flying and levitating pokémon would probably require a name change. XD

Could I create an "Adorable Ball"? :3 It's name basically speaks for itself, although that term is subjective and can be different from person to person. Though, for my usage, I could have an easier time catching all the cute Pokemon in the game!

i would make a pokeball for every type of stone, and it would only catch a pokemon that evolves with that stone, it would then evolve that pokemon and the pokeball would turn into a premiere ball.

there would be balls for icy and mossy rocks, and sylveon balls for eevee to turn into sylveon with. all of them would cost 2500, ecept for sylveon ball which would be 2000. Also, there would be a pokeball called a slaveball, and it lets the pokemon inside it use any hm move, but it has a lower rating than a pokeball against normal pokemon, but would work well against pokemon that normally learn the hms.

Deevolution Ball- Causes the catch rate of the Pokemon to sharply fall. The Pokemon will fall by one evolution stage when it is captured. Otherwise, it has no effect.

Chain Ball- Has a 20% Chance of randomly passing on a move that your Pokemon has to another Pokemon when captured. Sharply lowers the catch rate of the Pokemon.


Synchronize Ball- Has a 20% Chance of passing your Pokemon's nature to the other Pokemon when captured. Sharply lowers the catch rate of the Pokemon.

Power Ball - The catch rate increases sharply for Pokemon with a BST of 550 and above.

Shiny Ball - The catch rate increases sharply for shiny Pokemon.

Friendly Ball, its catch rate is the same as the normal Pokéball, but it raises happiness and affection to the highest possible.

(Lol I was thinking of making a thread about this. Beat me to it!)

Some of these aren't that great, but here goes...

Magma Ball: Effective on Fire types and Ground types.

Magnet Ball: Effective on Electric types and Steel types.

Rainbow Ball: Effective if the wild Pokemon shares one type with your own Pokemon. Extremely effective if it shares two types.

Lottery Ball: (Only received from doing the ID lottery thing) The catch rate is completely random, and will vary every time you use it.

Baby Ball: (Yes, horrible name) Catch rate depends on evolution stage, with the highest catch rate being the base evolution.

Weakness Ball: The catch rate is determined based on the wild Pokemon's type weakness' (The more weakness' the better the catch rate)

These aren't really new balls, but changes I would make to old ones:

Poke Balls: Slightly more effective on legendaries (YES!)

Premier Balls: Slightly more effective on Shinies (YES YES!)

Ok, those are a little overpowered, but oh well... :)
:)
Wait... If there was a move like Flying Press that did Grass and Water damage, would that mean that Rock/Ground Pokemon would take 8x damage...? O.o

One of the balls I'd make
Feather Ball- Allows trainers to catch wild Pokemon, but works better on lighter Pokemon, similar to the Heavy Ball.
Catch rate:
+40 if weight of Pokemon is between 0 and 55.1 lbs.
+30 if weight of Pokemon is between 55.2 and 110.2 lbs.
+20 if weight of Pokemon is between 110.3 and 220.5 lbs.
+10 if weight of Pokemon is between 220.6 and 451.5 lbs.
-20 if weight of Pokemon is 451.6 lbs or higher.
