Balltism: This Guy Edition

I keep asking but never really get an answer: Passimian...Friend Ball? I'm not sure what else would fit, unless I'm being a complete moron.

>>30378618
Anyone?

>>30378618
Friend Ball is fine. Matches the jungle green.

Ball suggestions for Celesteela?
Thinking Net Ball, Nest Ball, Heavy Ball or Moon Ball or just going with my default luxury ball. I don't really like the heavy ball.

>>30380255
I like Heavy (it's heavy) or Net (matches crisscross pattern)

>Not catching everything in a basic Poke Ball

What's wrong with you?

>>30380285
Or Moon (if you like lore reasons)

>>30378618

How do you get apricot balls in this game? or is it just a single find?

>>30381435
Just one of each as of now. I hope they do giveaways via PGL or something. Best looking balls in the series and they just can't stand to make them too available.

WHO /MASTERBALL MINIOR/ HERE?

>>30383365
Net Ball is perfect for Dewpider and Araquanid. The net effect looks like a spider web and there's also a burst of water when the pokemon is sent out.

Nest ball works pretty well for A-Grimer and Muk. The colors as well as the green smoke when the ball opens fit that evo line pretty well.

Heavy ball for Carbink. It's naively the Dame design but with the colors swapped

What's a good one for Shiny Sylveon?

I was thinking maybe Dive, but also Love might be fine. Maybe even Moon.

>>30383647
Fast Ball for the lightning stripe, callback to Pikachu's Pokeball.

I like Love or Dive, or beast. I think Love is nice, because a love ball eevee can breed you up a nice Espeon or Vaporeon too.

I created this chart so I could map out how to use my balls wisely, I think the only thing I'm sure about is a Friend Ball Bagon.

I am trying to avoid using my balls on overly common pokemon to maximize my trade potential i.e. I really want a moon ball eevee, but I think so does everyone else, so I'm going to see where else I can utilize my moon ball so I can trade for a moon ball Eevee

I caved on Koko and caught it with a Dusk Ball.
Lele I managed to catch in a Heal Ball with the proper nature.
Koko also needed to have HP(Ice) wich made it especially hellish/

Now attempting Fini. I am sort of tempted to use the Master Ball. It actually fits the colour scheme.

Should I do it?
Using the Master Ball feels dirty somehow, but it might be worth it for the colours.

I gotta applaud you guys for your severe patience and Autism. No sarcasm. I tried to balltist but I keep falling back on just using what's best for the situation.

Wich means more than half of my mons are in Quick Balls.

I might try again though. I want to use a Pelipper on my comp team. What ball fits it? Dive Ball seems nice color wise.

Solgaleo/ Lunala in Beast Balls or get out.

If not, Luxury

>>30384305
Magnemite
Tauros
Staryu

These three were catchable in apricorn in HGSS. The reason they are listed is because they can now be bred while passing down the ball, so in that sense the market for balltism breedables now includes these three where it didn't before.

Yeah, luckily Wingulls are stupidly easy to catch.
Still, now I have some mons in proper balls, and some of them in mismatched shit. Which in turn kinda triggers MY autism, haha. Because now I kinda wanna continue the trend.

I still think I wouldn't be able to catch hard to catch Legendaries with proper balls though. I do not have the patience for that. Normal mons are way more doable.

Breeding with ditto won't get you the HA, and wouldn't breeding with a female that does have the HA still prioritize the ball the female is in? Or is it straight random?

It's more fun to do it legally, but nobody is going to give a fuck if you use injection just to modify the damn pokeball.
Basically if it doesn't bother YOU to do it, then by all means go for it. I'm sure there are people in here who would be interested in it if you're offering like you say.

Ball for Salazzle? Dusk ball fits well in terms of entry animation but looks like shit.

>>30406296
Luxury ball is the best one. There's nothing perfect though.

Only the mother too, so it's species specific too. It's just now that Male and Genderless Pokemon can pass down their balls while breeding with a Ditto and a chance to pass down when breeding two of the same species together from either parent.

i also have a beast ball beldum that i have yet to breed, but i personally prefer heavy ball. Only reason I went with BB is because I had a ton of spare ones.

>>30413430
It took me like 20 balls in my 5th reset round before managing to catch the beldum. They are such a bitch to capture.

I finally gave in and settled on a nice Timid(31Hp, SpA, Speed) Lunala in a moon ball. Hours of resetting to finally get the moon ball catch on one with the IVs in the stats I wanted. Too bad she didn't pull more 31s

Was wondering what ball to use for:
>Turtonator (thinking Fast)
>Oshawott (thinking Beast)
>Togedamaru (thinking Heavy or Love)

Not sure what gen 5/6/7 mons to use level, friend, and lure balls on. Really wanna get Turtonator and Jangmo-o in good balls, preferably apricot ones.

Opinions on fast ball Dragonite?

I'm considering replacing my peudos with ones in better balls.

My Tyranitar is already in a friend ball, Salamence in a great ball, I have a ev trained Beldum in a Beast Ball that I'll evolve eventually. Also a Hydregion in a Luxary ball.

I plan on hunting Lure Ball Gible once I can import my HA Garchomp.

Should I offer it on the GTS or just kms?

Bottle caps pretty much make IVs a non issue, unless you're giving a mon a specific

What's good for a Honedge? I'm thinking Luxury for the golden release animation, but I'm not sure.

SR?

>>30414034

Heavy.

I saved because I was worried I wouldn't be able to catch it again.
>But anon, if you were able to catch it in even a Dive Ball, surely your second battle, now that you know its weaknesses, would be much easier!
Key suffix in this thread is -tism.

Its catch rate is 45.

here's my two cents

>Xurkitree
Only the Luxury Ball works with this guy. We got black for the body, gold for the exposed wiring, and the red is just an accent despite it not showing on Xurk.
>Buzzwole
Luxury, because Cherish Ball is unobtainable. I wish Cherish Ball was a thing.
>Kartana
Fast Ball or Repeat Ball. The black on Kartana isn't nearly as prominent as the orange and yellow, so Repeat Ball is for those who can't find a Fast Ball.
>Celesteela
Net Ball is the only teal ball, really. Not the right shade, but it's the closest we've got.
>Pheromosa
Obviously Premier
>Nihilego
If Dive Ball had a white bottom, it'd work perfectly, but since it's blue with white accents, it sort of works with Nihilego's white with blue accents.
>Guzzlord
Moon Ball is perfection, but since you only get one, Quick Ball is a bit passable since blue and yellow.

should I just use a repeat for bulu? having to reset after each friend throw is killing me

>>30414598

Just get someone to loan you theirs for the dex entry and use the repeat ball.

>>30414489
I agree with almost everything, but I do think Repeat fits Buzzwole better than Luxury. The circles on the Repeat Ball match Buzzwole's pecs, it's predominantly red, with yellow and black accents. I fear Luxury has too much black, and since Xurkitree fits Luxury better anyway, Repeat for Buzzwole ensures no duplicates.

>>30413708
Definitely Fast for Turtonator. Use Level as an alternate.

>>30413851
Not really a huge fan of your picks, unfortunately. Luxury Salazzle is okay, but I'd go with Love. I prefer either Repeat or Timer for Toucannon, Net for Golisopod.

>using that spiderweb animation for anything other than a spider pokemon
>clocks = bird
Okay pal.

You know how balls can pass down from male? Does that include Beast Balls? What about genderless mons like Staryu and Magneton?

I am new to this "balltism" deal, but I got a Ribombee in a Nest Ball and while the ball itself doesn't match well, it makes a nice puff of dust when it comes out

Colors, pal, colors. Don't be mad your choices aren't everyone else's picks.
