So a lot of people favourite different Pokéballs to others, what is your favourite for catching Pokémon? - mine has to be the original Pokéball just because it's harder to catch Pokémon in them! I like a challenge, but of course I have a nice Master ball just in case I happen to come across a shiny Abra who is likely to use teleport as I am about to catch it - even so I like the look of the Pokéballs better to, the originality of them.

I challenged myself to catch every legendary Pokémon in a Pokéball to, but I failed that challenge - when battling and catching Deoxys, because I caught Rayquaza in a Pokéball and you aren't given choice to save between then, and the battle with Deoxys (I thought the part when the triangle came out of the meteor and made the noises as they was on the GBA Deoxys event was the most epic part of the game! I didn't spoil it, and don't expect this to happen!) anyway around 20 Pokéballs later I just threw my Master ball, which ruined my streak...

Anyway what's your favourite Pokéball?

I like different balls for different mons. I especially like Luxury Balls, but I'm not ambitious enough to try and catch all the mons I want with it. Rare version exclusive balls are also neat. But what I really want are the sticker capsules from D/P/P.

For efficiency, it's the Quick and Dusk Balls. The former can be good for catching a fair number of things on just the first turn while the latter makes it easier to catch Pokemon with low catch rates, albeit at night.

Design-wise, I love the Dive Ball. The wave pattern on it makes it feel such a nice look with any Water-type Pokemon, and the colors on it are beautiful as well.

Normal Pokemon go into PokeBalls

Legendaries go into Premier Balls

Oh how I wish they'd bring ball seals back!

I disapprove the lack of multiple choice options in the poll. :<

If you need to know, my personal favorites are Quick Ball, Dive Ball and Premier Ball design wise. Usefulness wise... I honestly don't have a favorite. I just go with whatever suits the designs of the Pokemon I'm catching it with.

(Not sure why this is in ORAS forum...) But anyway, I voted the Dusk Ball, as it has a nice design and is one of the most useful ones of all of them, since at night and in caves it gives a large boost. Quick Balls and Timer Balls are also good, but one I really like in terms of design is the Luxury Ball. I have quite a few of my favorite Pokémon bred in those.

Having a near-complete dex all ported over from Gen IV makes me pretty partial to the repeat ball. I can catch anything I need to with it, anything I'm missing will be in a Cherish ball, if you know what I mean ;)

I get kinda sketched out when I get a Pokemon in a Luxury Ball on a Wonder Trade. For some reason I suspect them to be hacked this way. Does anyone else feel the same?

I pretty much exclusively use Ultra Balls and Quick Balls, I never really bought the other special balls (for no good reason; I really should have).

Appearance-wise, though, I love the Premier Ball.

For catching, Ultra Balls and Quick Balls are the way to go. But I like catching Pokemon in balls that seem to match, and Luxury Balls and regular Poke Balls go with almost everything, so I buy a lot of those.

Since I tend to go to the trouble of having a False Swiper that can inflict paralysis or sleep, I've taken to only buying regular Pokéballs since under such circumstances they perform well against almost anything. Saves money, too, since the costlier balls are disproportionately so. It also ensures pretty much all my monsters are in the same kind of ball, and I guess I'm a stickler for consistency. Given the choice, I'd exclusively use Premier Balls, and I eventually did in Y when I found that the ball shop in Lumiose actually sells them in bulk on their own.

I like a lot of them, and on top of my list would be Master Ball.

Master Ball isn't that rare to find in-game; throughout story-line, we're able to get a hold of this item only once, and that's all. We could get ourselves by winning lottery tickets, but chances of this happen are very, very slim, unfortunately. On top of it all, it guarantees capture; regardless of what kind of Pokémon it is, the ball will successfully work. Usually, I tend to utilize it when capturing roaming legendaries, since they're one of the most tough and whatnot.

Next would be regular Poké Ball. They're cheap, and a lot of people know of it, even those who don't precisely follow Pokémon nor even a fan. Its color-scheme is rather simplistic, too, as well as its overall texture, which makes me like it even more. After that, it's Luxury Ball, then comes Cherish.

Put favorites aside, when it comes to actual game-play and whatnot, I find myself utilizing Ultra Ball a lot. Although they're more pricey than Poké Balls and Great Balls combined, their power is still great, and chances of being successful at capture are rather high. Due to similar reasons, I also find myself purchasing a good portion of Dusk Balls every once in a while. This raises chance of capture drastically if we encounter Pokémon in dark places (caves, for example), which comes in handy when going up against legendaries; luckily, a lot of them seem to reside in shady areas.

In terms of Usefulness and Practicality it has to be the master ball followed my Quick Balls.

But I voted for the Premier Ball because it looks cool (is also expressive buying them as well) Plus with their low catch rate its kind of cool when you catch something with one.

My favorite would have to be the Premier Ball, because it has all of the bragging rights of an ordinary Poké Ball along with a beautiful design, not to mention a cool opening animation. That being said, Luxury Balls come close, but I just happen to prefer the design of the Premier Ball.
