What type of ball do you prefer to have your team in? Are there any messages certain balls send?

i remember i always used to cringe when i caught my pokemon in anything other than a poke ball, mostly because the anime hardly EVER shows pokemon caught in anything other than a poke ball, so i figured when i did it it was "non canon".

thankfully generations and origins had many scenes of pokemon in different balls, so i started to feel better about varying my catches that way

Moon balls are my favorite, but like hell am I going to grind out the number of apricots needed to maybe get a sufficient amount of them. So I settled with Luxury Balls. Hate the sparkle they have, though.

I have always had an aversion to ultra balls because they feel like the lazy copout since you can typically just toss them at anything and catch stuff.

>edgelord dusk that high
Timers look great though, they are a bitch to catch stuff with though.
>net that low
Net has one of the best looking release effects
>heal anywhere but F
I don’t even know what the point of hell balls is

Here's my system:
>Poké Balls - regular mons
>Timer Balls - legendaries
>Premier Balls - regular shinies
>Luxury Balls - shiny 'lesser' legendaries (eg. Regis, Lake Spirits, etc.)
>Master Balls - shiny 'greater' legendaries and mythicals
I would add another ball into the mix for lesser legendaries but there aren't really a lot of options that fit with my current tier system

I put my ice types in dive balls if that counts, the ball just looks more like an icy ball to me than a water ball, water ball is the net ball.

I have never ever gotten a legend to stay in a timer ball. One time as a kid I had thrown countless timer balls at rayquaza, and not realizing I had ran out, accidentally tossed a premier ball. It caught it

Everything goes in Poke Balls except for Max Raid shinies. For those I just go with the ball that best matches the Pokémon’s color scheme or theme.

In the newer gens it's easier but in the earlier ones your best bet is to stall them for 20 turns minimum and then just start flinging them

Never worked. On new gens, Dusk Ball was usually way more effective at legends. In the GBA era timer balls often felt worse than standard poke balls

I tend to like Fire, Electric and Normal types. I like Luxury ball the best, but will use Ultra/Fast/Level/Repeat/Timer depending on balltism/situational advantage/just what I have remaining in my bag.

For non-team catches I just use a regular Pokeball or maybe a Nest ball depending on level.

I always had a thing for the Luxury Ball because in RSE you only got ONE(1) and that rarity made me think highly of it. It wasn’t till the emerald clone glitch that I ever got to use it

Poke balls preferably, but since i lack balltism idrc
i have a lot of mismatched random balls because i trade a lot on the gts and breed for certain mons with certain abilities so my teams are naturally scattered

Every mon on my team has to be in a different ball with no-repeats and the ball must match the mon whether by color or by theme.

though people too often think balltism is just matching colors. Theres so many other things you can do.

I like to catch difficult Pokemon in Premier Balls, just for the hell of it. If my patience wears out, however, I'm not above reverting to Ultras/Dusks/Quick/other higher catch rate balls.

I can get the Sports/Safari/Dream balls because those were all related to a certain activity. But there's no excuse for the Apricorn balls to be absent or the Dive Ball being limited to like one per game for 3 generations.

The dive exclusion made sense, as the catch rate boost only applies underwater. It was excluded from games you couldn’t dive in

All shinies in Luxury balls, with one exception. Found a random shiny Eevee when I moved all my shit in to Home (dunno where it came from) so had to do it.

I transferred all my gen 1 mons from Pokemon GO to LGPE and caught them in sequential order.

First/No Evolutions: Poke Ballz
Second Evolutions: Great Balls
Third/Legendary Evolutions: Ultra/Master Balls

My virtual console gen 1/2 mons I caught with whatever balls because when transferred to Pokebank and Home the meta data treats them as regular Poke Balls.

My main series playthrough is compromised of a living dex made up of Ultra Balls, with exceptions to the starter pick, NPC trade, bred, and gifted mons that are forced to be obtained in a normal Pokeball.

I don't pick ibe pokeball for everything, just whatever feels right when I catch it. One of my favorite combos recently was catching a Dusk Lycanroc in a Timer ball. The colors work AND it has the clocks when it enters battle.
