useful guide for Balltism breeding

>>30586026
Good call.

How long did it take you guys to get Love Ball Tapu Lele? Im about two hours in and caught it once but syncronize didn't pull through and I ended up with the wrong nature.

best ball for shiinotic? i have a heal ball rn but idk.

>balltism
>Everyone just asks other people what ball to put things in
Don't make no sense

>>30586940
Dreamball

>>30586940
Heal works well

>>30586232
still bothers me i cant breed down cherish balls, they're my favorite

>>30587109
Sometimes you're not 100% sure, so want someone else's opinion to help you make yours.

Much like how things work in the real world, you mong.

i usually ask because im a little colorblind and don't wanna fuck up colors too bad

>>30585455
What about anime only balls that should be, but aren't, in the games?

>>30585455

What's that ball to the right of the premier ball?

Anyone manage to get a Gible in a lure ball? I have heavy ball Beldums to offer.

>>30587373

>>30587370
Like what?

>tfw finally got a Moon Ball Lunala from the GTS

My collection is complete :
>Level Ball Solgaleo
>Moon Ball Lunala
>Speed Ball Tapu Koko
>Love Ball Tapu Lele
>Friend Ball Tapu Bulu
>Lure Ball Tapu Fini
>Heavy Ball Necrozma

Thinking of breeding a shiny Minior, Moon Ball or Luxury Ball ?

Heavy Ball Alola Persians, good idea or great idea?

Moon ball or luxury ball Hydreigon?

>>30587967
It works.
But I'd put it in a luxury to fit with the whole royality theme.

Still don't know what do catch Drampa with. Thoughts?

>>30585455

Yesterday I used my Lure Ball to capture a Caterpie that I sent off on the GTS for some guy who was giving away genned Zygardes.

So, how do you like to assign team balls? As opposed to directly based on color, I stipulate ball choice based on teams. So, for example all my pokemon for Trick Room are using Heavy Balls to show off the slow.

>>30588679
Premier or Moon

>>30587925
Great taste in balls, my balltist bro

best ball for shiny minior? thinking beast or moon

>>30589381
I say Luxury for the sparkling effect and black theme, myself.

Timer Ball for Kartana?

>>30589381
Luxury is best for shiny.

I have an indigo in a Heavy Ball as well. Minior is fun since you can match each color with a different ball.

>>30589571
Not a bad option, but I went Fast myself.

>>30587925

Luxury. While the moon is indeed a captured asteroid, it never collided with the earth.

Plus Shiny Minior looks fly as hell. Good luck, friendo.

>>30589577
>>30589412
I'll try luxury then.

Do you guys just cheat in more acorn balls, or are you really using your one only on minior?

>>30588679

Maybe nest?

I want Umbreon in Moon Ball but I already used my Moonball on Sneasel.

So I'm looking for Eevee in Moonball

have nothing special to trade except for
Jolly Sneasel (in Moonball :D) with Eggmoves (Icicle Crash and Throat Chop) with imperfect IVs

or many shitmons

Is Dive Ball the only decent choice for Mareanie/Toxapex?

>>30589942
Lure

So after bank comes out will it be possible to breed a lure ball totodile with sheer force? Since there's a 50% chance that either male or female will pass the ball down?

Diveball for alola sandshrew and frosslass, yay or nay?

I was also considering premier ball.

>>30589614
I had a buddy give me his Johto balls. He doesn't have crippling Balltism like me.

>>30589999
I believe so.

Also, nice quads.

Which is the better ball for Beldum?

Beast Ball or Heavy Ball?

>>30592143
Beast ball, objectively. Heavy ball has a complimentary aesthetic though.

>>30592143
beast is only for UBs (including Nebbys/ Necrozma)
so enjoy the 0.1%

>>30592174
This.

So are we in agreement:
Chikorita: Nest Ball
Cyndaquil: Level Ball
Totodile: Lure Ball

>>30592248
Why no Friend Ball Chikorita?

>>30592280
I like the tan on the ball. Matches older art/Bayleef. Friend Ball potentially for Meganium.

What ball for Togepi?

>>30592443
Premier?

>>30592443
Love? It fits its cutesy design and the Fairy-typing.

What about Kanto starters?

Bulbasaur: Friend (color)
Charmander: Poke (color)/Fast (sprite)
Squirtle: Dive/Heavy?

>>30587967
to be honest I dont like ALWAYS having the Pokémon be the exact same colors as the ball, sometimes it looks weird, like in this case. I'd go for Luxury

I'd have liked to have this appear in the games at some point, but we already have three water related pokeballs.

>>30593399
I'd like a black and white or black and gray ball

>>30593479
Like team rockets? But without the R?

>>30593503
Yeah why not, it would go well with Zekrom/Reshiram/Necrozma imo

Had to go find a chart that depicted nearly every different type of pokeball shown in anime, game, and manga.

>>30593560
>Green Ball
W-What does it do?

>>30593584
I don't remember and it angers me.

>>30593560
>rocket, magma, aqua, plasma balls
i want these so bad

>>30593584
it is green
thats all it needs to do

>>30593618
Pic fag here. I collect the toy pokeballs and have a fondness for Gen 3 since it was my first game owned (borrowed all my friends pokemon games until then cuz poor). I really want to get my hands on these bad boys too, but they WON'T MAKE THEM. It makes me sad.

>tfw no blaziken in fast ball

>>30593584
Just remembered! Appeared in early season when animators were designing safari balls. Goes from green, to green with s, to camo green.

what would be a good bad for alakazam?

>>30585455
Is duskball/ultraball the only option on vikavolt? The blue on the quickball triggers me

>>30594000
ball*

>>30587240
I'd love to see more Pokeballs incorporate concave designs. I love the matte resembling grip on the Cherish Ball.

>caught Top Kek in Fast Ball
>Lunala in Moon Ball
>Solgaleo in Lurantis's Sun in Heavy Ball
>decide to catch the tapus in Johto balls
>trying to get Top Lel in a Love Ball
>that catch rate
Why did I do this to myself

Also what ball for Bulu and Fini?
I figure Lure for Fini, but I don't know about Bulu

oh my god i must be retarded
i never knew the dream ball looked like a musharna
i thought it was supposed to just look like musharnas gas in a ball and that the dot was a weird shading choice

>>30594172
I used dive for fini and level for Bulu. Although I guess you can also use a friend ball for bulu

Best ball for A.Marowak? Thinking Net but not sure

is it possible to get safari ball in sun and moon?
how do i get it

When pokebank updates im thinking about changing my team a little, for example

Now i have a competitive lucario on a moon ball
and i also caugh a jolly fletchling in a luxury ball and evolved him to talonflame

my old team in X is in regular pokeballs

i think Infernape and ambipom will stay in their balls since i like them too much and i don't want to breed new ones

i think a safari ball could be the right one for krookodile

i can't think of a good ball for jolteon but he is perfect so i might keep him in his normal ball too

Also now that the shiny charm is easier to get i think i will breed for a shiny breloom

what would be the best ball for it

>>30594839
you get it by transferring a caught pokemon in a safari ball to pokemon sun and moon come january

>>30593560
>Crystal Ball
Fucking never going to happen but I want it.

Given A-marowak is a UB killer right now, is it acceptable to use beast balls on it?

>>30595227
yes
i like Ultra Balls for english translation irony on my a-marowak

>>30594209
DIVE!

Is Fast Ball still the best ball for Alolan Raichu? Would Level Ball look any good on it?

What's a good ball for alolan muk? I've been considering nest ball, but its stripes are more brown than yellow.

>>30595467
Friend Ball

I just chained a shiny sandygast. Caught it in a luxury. Did I do good?

>>30595642
i approve of your choice
i would have either done that or premier just because its a great contrast

>>30595275
Alright, but how about Premier ball?
Either Dive or Premier now.

>>30594266
Don't know about Net Ball. Found it through Google. It's Gen VI though, so that's why there's no Beast Ball.

I just want more quick balls because I love the way they look. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>>30595947
DIVE!

>Pheromosa with Premiere and Dive Ball
Trying to save Beast Balls before realizing they were going to give you a lot, did I do good?

>>30596225
Can't you buy those at the right attendant on Route 8?

There is any legal way to have a starter in another ball?

>>30596552
Depends on the starters? S/M starters no, only pokeball for now. Certain other gen's starters have shown up in friend safari, QR code scan, so it just depends.

>someone breeds Moon Cyndaquil to complete her Dex
>I can't trade with her because I don't have the Pokémon she requests
Suffering. I love Moon Balls.

>>30596885
Get her a bottlecap. Bitches love bottlecaps.

>get Mareanie through wondertrade
>in a lure ball
>check it in pc
>lure ball is now a love ball

At least it has Regenerator

>tfw no Glass Ball that changes depending on the Pokémons colour palette
>tfw no Type Ball that changes colour/effect depending on type

eg Krookodile in a Glass Ball will cause it to be a Red/Black ball, whereas in a Type Ball it'll be Beige/Black with Dark/Ground effects coming out (mix of a Dusk Ball and some earthquakes or something)

>>30594833
Dusk

>>30597364
That would be the only ball I would ever use

>>30596480

caught my 4 pheromosas in Luxury (beauty), Net (Bug), Premier (white color), Beast Ball.)

>>30598684
That's my plan too. Good on ya, mate.

>>30594172
Finally caught one in a Love Ball
Modest

but
it's IVs are
4/31/2 or 3/7 or 8/31/31

What do?

>>30599330
should I keep it or reset for better IVs?

Of course it had to have perfect Attack

Anything else and I'd be fine just bottle capping

whats the best ball for this little guy?

>>30600082
Heavy, maybe

>>30599784
anyone?

>>30599784
How many SR's did it take to get in the ball in the first place?

>>30600947
too many

Best ball for Xurkitree?

Ultra? Luxury? Repeat?

Best ball for a shiny Weavile?

Ive got a Sneasel in a beast ball ready for breeding but it doesn't really fit

>>30601575
luxury
id also recommend fast because i have bad taste and lightning bolts

>>30601382
After some thought, I think I'm just going to roll with it

Lure Ball Tapu Fini is next
What's a good nature for it

What looks good in a Level Ball? Only Cyndaquil and Pikachu (doesn't really work on Raichu) come to mind.

>>30601756
Yeah I was gonna say just stick with what you have.

I'd go for a Timid Tapu Fini since it mostly learns special moves and could use a small boost in Speed.

>>30602198
I was considering Bold for a bit of extra defense

Either way, I'm gonna take a bit of a break before going through that again
