Leakerchad confirmed that a new NPC, Mr. Ball, is the physical embodiment of balltism. He'll pass out one of each of the Apricorn Balls - and a Dream Ball too. Here's each of the new possibilities. What are your thoughts? Anything new catch your attention?
Dream Ball Slurpuff sounds fun to me, and I'm glad Hitmons finally have good Balltism options

You're missing possibilities of new HA combos like Bronzor. Of course, this is only if they appear in raids (or have another way to get their HA in game).

But I made a full list for myself: https://pastebin.com/URsJdK3Q

I'm not buying SwSh, so I'll just trade in Home for them.

>>40950190
Because I like matching the balls. I had balltism before Gen 6 was out, so I had to learn to RNG abuse to get things in fitting balls. It's never been a rarity thing for me. I just like being able to be self-reliant and get shit I want instead of having to suck off whoever has the ball I want.

Depends on the ball. You get one after each gym. Don't know the order, other than dream ball is probably last since it's at Wyndom Stadium.

Don't forget if you want to G-max it, you need to find the really rare raid (which leaker hasn't' found a single one in the week) since you can't breed it the g-max capability on.

Thanks Gamefreak.

The leaker only tried once, it could be like HAs. We’ll find out in a week.

Anyways, I’m not gonna bother with balltism shit for GMaxable mons as a result.
What do you guys think will be the best balls for:
>Polteageist
>Perrserker
>Frosmoth
I’m thinkin Dream, Heavy, and Moon, respectively.

I have a feeling there will be some anti-save scumming measure because they have an online version of the feature. There's a very real possibility you will lose the ball and have no way to soft reset to get it back.

But that's just guessing the worst at this point. I'm just more mad I'll have to set up manual trades for all these since the GTS is looking it was cut. I got a huge bulk of my collection from there.

I thought it was they just tried the summoning item once. The raids should be spawn daily, and there hasn't been any.

But those are definitely good choices IMO.
You could go with premier/heavy for frosmoth, but moon is my favorite of all the balls anyway. I tend to use it for things that have any blue/black/yellow in their scheme, and forsmoth has those lovely blue eyes.

You could also argue love ball for Polteageist. However, if the dream ball animation still has the purple smoke it's definitely better.

Alternative for Perrserker is level ball too. It's got black in the color scheme, and the orange/tan part of the ball would look striking with the eyes. I'd probably do level over heavy.

It's confirmed that all participants have a chance to catch the mon, so I would assume the game just switches back to single player when the mon is defeated and you can choose your ball like you normally would.

I think people are forgetting the availability of these balls, like, how are you going to catch an early game mon in a ball you can't get till much later on?
Do we know when these fancy balls become available? End game?
Regardless, pic related are my choices so far.
