    If you're going to Charlotte Regionals this weekend, say hello if you see me!

    Fun fact on the Net Ball, using Soak to change a wild Pokemon's type to Water will get you the catch multiplier, making them highly useful on all Pokemon.

    Moon Ball in gen 2 does give the bonus. It just works on Pokemon evolving by Burn Heal. Yes. This is not a joke.

    I'll never forget the blip in time where people thought it was a problem to use a Quick Ball on a shiny. If someone spends hours days or weeks to find a digital creature with a different colour palette, I feel like they should be allowed to have the highest chance of making sure that time wasn't for nothing.

    I haven't used the dive ball since gen 3 because I never realized they changed the effect... THAT'S EMBARRASSING
  • @Castersvarog
    Thinking about it, the moon ball should also have better odds against Mons that evolve at night. Would make sense

    You forgot the two friendship balls. In gen 2 the friend ball is one of the better balls. It sets the captured Pokémon friendship to 200, and you only need 220 to evolve. Sadly this only works on Zubat/Golbat and Chansey, but still. And in gen 3 we got the luxury ball that doubles friendship gains.

    You forgot the Beast Ball. In case it wasn't obvious, this Poke Ball is intended to work on the Ultra Beasts, which it gives a 5X catch boost. However, when catching other Pokemon, the catch rate is actually reduced (yes, REDUCED) to a 0.1X catch boost. This means that the Beast Ball is only good on 11 Pokemon and is completely useless on all the other 1014 Pokemon.

    I just want to take a moment to appreciate the thumbnail art, where Pikachu disapproves of both options 😂 such a good easter egg
  • @MouseSkull
    10:09 To be more specific: the Moon Ball is glitched because instead of increasing the catch rate of Pokémon that evolve with a Moon Stone, it accidentally does so for those that evolve with a Burn Heal. Which is none, sure enough.
  • Actually, the Moon Ball had an effect in gen 2. You just needed to use it on a pokemon that evolved using a burn-heal, how complicated can it be?

    Ironically I have a Shiny Arcanine in Heart Gold in a Fast Ball... I plan on catching every one of my Shinies in Heart Gold in those special Pokéballs. My least favorite is Level Ball.
  • @bob171
    They should add a Money Ball. It acts the same as a normal pokeball, but you get rewarded with money depending on what level the wild pokemon is when caught
  • @iTerra_
    For the longest time I thought the Nest Balls functioned like the Level Balls, especially for how late you get access to them like you said. Was really annoyed when I understood how they actually work.
  • @gtc1554
    That thumbnail goes hard, fast balls are useless but aesthetically pleasing
  • @ktvx.94
    Pokemon teaches us that being quick is good, but being fast is bad.
  • @ExiledBowser
    All the balls here are useful in raids, its a 100% catch rate regardless of ball, good for finding breeding stock for special balls.
  • @alexdehatter2151
    To give some credit to the Nest Ball, it's pretty useful in the Sinnoh games since you can buy them as early as Eterna City.
  • @TheMDelaney45
    for me i like using pokeballs based on the pokemons color and type like grass or green pokemon in friend ball
  • @BruceBoyde
    I love the luxury ball. I've caught Ultra Beasts in them because I like the design so much.
