Pokeballs are shrinkable metal balls that can capture Pokemon by transforming them into energy and storing them within the ball. They come in a wide variety, many suited for specific purposes. See the Capturing Pokemon section for details on using Pokeballs. Pokeballs can recall Pokemon into them from Short Range; Pokeballs release Pokemon adjacent to themselves.
- Pokeballs cannot capture Pokemon that are Fainted or owned by another Trainer – the Pokemon is simply not turned into energy. This process is taxing on a Pokemon’s health and would hurt them if they were unconscious when energized.
- However, some… illicit sources sell Pokeballs that are jailbroken, removing this restriction. These Pokeballs are quite valuable, but illegal to possess. Don’t get caught with them.
- Basic Balls are sold for
20, Great Balls for
- All Pokeballs are of “N-12” weight.
- Enhancements marked with a * can only be applied after the Pokeball has already been created.
