Pokémon Sword and Shield has a huge range of different Poké Balls, for all tastes and colors, as our friend Bolifacio would say.
As a good coach, you will be interested in getting everyone to make the most of its benefits. It will be a vital task if you want to complete the Galar Pokédex.
Do not worry because we bring you a guide with the name of each type of Poké Ball in the game and in what ways you can get them.
All types of Poké Balls and how to get them
There are a total of 23 different Poké Balls and each one can work especially well with certain Pokémon or situations. Next we will group them by their characteristics.
Classic Poké Ball
- Poké Ball: the classic of a lifetime. They give it to you shortly after starting the adventure and since then you can buy it in all the Pokémon Center stores by talking to the seller.
- Super Ball: It's like the previous one, but it slightly improves the probability of capture. It appears in stores after obtaining the Plant Medal in Pueblo Hoyuelo.
- Ultra Ball: even more effective than the previous ones. It appears in stores after obtaining the Fairy Medal in Pueblo Plié.
- Master Ball: the best Poké Ball that exists, because it catches any Pokémon with total reliability. Unfortunately, there is only one in the entire game and you get it by completing the main story (it is recommended to use it against Zacian and Zamazenta).
