hey I've been wonder trading these

>>30832218

ball doesn't match it at all

I'm an injector so I like changing the pokeballs for mons that only come in the default like the starters or Porygon. So what are the best matches for the Starters and Porygon and anything else you can only get in the default pokeball?

>>30832252
gotta use it on something. the friend ball looks ugly to me and this is the only pokémon i can really imagine it on :v

>>30832264
i actually have no idea what the starters would look great in, besides generic answers like love ball primarina. love ball is my favourite anyway so i'm biased as fuck and probably have to think it over

>>30832298

>>30832352
premier for shiny litten

Get a shiny Espeon in a Friend Ball instead.

>>30832509
premier shiny litten sounds nice.

>>30832298
Gallade

Yanmega

Shiny Stingulor
The Grass snake whose name escapes me atm
Ribombee

>>30832773
different tastes i guess. i'm still debating on whether i should use it on serperior or reuniclus when island scan time comes around

>>30832876
nest is better for serperior

>>30832948
How do you figure? Friend matches all of Serp's colors: white underbelly, yellow accents and red eyes

nest is better for snivy if you're an LCfag, though

>>30833036
shit you're right
god i wish i'd realized that yesterday

>>30833161
wow didn't realize how crappy the pic was, it's a love ball if you can't see it too well

Is nest ball a good choice for politoed right? too bad the HA is only good on it

>>30833161
Nice I found a shiny cutiefly myself but had no love balls.

Had to settle for a luxury ball which doesn't really match the color at all.

>>30833329


I have a Friend Poliwag waiting to be moved to SM so I can breed for a Politoad in one. SM's breeding mechanics means I'll be able to breed that ball onto HA Poliwag.

OP here

THIS IS MY GOAL

but im too lazy to complete dex for shiny charm because the only pokemon i want to catch are alola ones. i already completed my entire national dex (excluding diancie, but that isn't needed) so i'm just gonna wait for pokébank.

luckily i got a good iv foreign ditto and a love ball cutiefly off of wonder trade so at least i'll be able to start breeding right away when i get my living dex back.

also nice filename

>>30833656

yeah, i'm glad they added that feature where you can breed balls on to the female pokemon, it'll make me pick up soulsilver again.

also, i know you can trade between the gen 2 remakes and the gen 4 games. i've never tried this, but is it possible to trade a pokemon holding an apricorn ball over to diamond, pearl or platinum? i've been wanting to get a moonball shinx.

>>30834840
great taste!

gumshoos with a red,white,and blue GREAT ball

>>30834846
nope

>>30834846
oh but I just remembered, you can catch shinx in HGSS anyway

>>30834988

devastating heartbreak and then relief

stop toying with my emotions anon

anyway all jokes aside, thanks for telling me so i don't have go go try it out. what happens if you try?

>>30835286
in hgss apricorn balls can't be held, and if you transfer a pokemon caught in one to dppt it'll show up as a regular pokeball in their summary

I'm about to catch Tapu Bulu. What do you autists think?

I'm thinking friend ball or repeat ball?

>>30832218
EVERYTHING IN POKEBALLS. POKEBALL OR BUST. WE MUST MAINTAIN THE PURITY OF THE POKEBALL

>>30835443
>in hgss apricorn balls can't be held, and if you transfer a pokemon caught in one to dppt it'll show up as a regular pokeball in their summary
Is this for real

>>30835453
Repeat or Level for Bulu.

>>30835484
yep, apricorn balls aren't in the code for dppt

>>30835530
HGSS -> BW1/2? I have love ball ralts in Y.

>>30835443
damn. at least my shinx dreams aren't shattered... at least...

>>30835453
Friend Ball only matches it's type, Bulu isn't green

Repeat Ball matches his color scheme well

>>30835569
what are you asking? apricorn balls are shown properly in the menu from hgss onwards, it was just a backwards compatibility issue with dppt
ralts is catchable in hgss so love ball ralts is perfectly possible

spent at least 3 hours trying to catch Tapu Koko in a fast ball, completely worth it

>>30835655
I forgot HGSS was a DS game. I thought you had to do HGSS->DP->BW or something retarded.

>not catching pokemon exlusively is pokeballs

disgusting

>>30835766
they're so ugly
at least go with premier or luxury if you're gonna be like that
hell, beast balls have an even lower catch rate

>>30835711
i thought i was going to have trouble getting nebby in a fast ball but then i saw the catch rate.

>Not catching Lunala in a Dusk Ball
What is wrong with you?

>>30835711
>>30836155
isn't it weird how the main legendaries are harder to catch than the sub-legends? i guess it makes sense for nintendo so it's easier for kids, but it always confused me. guess i can't complain, it makes the balltism aspect easier.

>>30832773
>forgetting Carnivine
FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOU

>>30836378

why not catch it in a moon ball?

What ball for Mudsdale? I thought level ball but when I used it it was yellow instead of tan like in the sprite.

whats a good ball for a non shiny crobat
i cannot find a good ball that suits him

>>30837648
nothing fits crobat very well, but i could list off some generic options that at least shouldn't look bad:

-luxury ball
-dusk ball
-moon ball

that's all i can think of. any of them seem to fit?

>>30836491
you can't even get carnivine in a friend ball iirc

also
>breeding carnivine
>ever

Anyone got recommendations for what to catch beast balls with? Got a fuck ton of them and not really many ideas. Maybe Necrozma? I'm thinking either beast or luxury for it.

>>30838433
i caught necrozma in a luxury ball, and it look fine in that. beast beast ball option IMO is probably beldum

>>30837507

Seconding for Mudsdale advice

>>30838562
heavy or great ball fits too well over beast ball for beldum

Black minior or porygon would fit better for beast

Lunala with moon,beast,or quick?

>>30832648
Lure ball looks better.

>>30838895
Moon bro. Quick ball is a joke right?
Lunala: Moon > Beast > Luxury.

>>30838967
Oh well guess my second lunala will have either beast or moon. I didn't use moon due to the capture rate . I didn't know if I had to catch it during the Altar of the Moon sequence.

>>30835453
I went repeat.

>>30839121
Just soft reset until it lands with a Modest pokemon in the lead. He has a low catch rate.

The second one is only Pokeball.

>>30839150
>The second one is only Pokeball
Why?

>>30832248
Could you trade me one pls?

>>30839261

You don't fight Nebby.

Premiere.

I got one of these over the GTS, minus the shiny. Very pleasant surprise. Cute.

>>30832218

I think I'm gonna be a faggot and MM for a Relicanth in a Lure Ball. It looks too good, and this is the first gen where that combo is legal, if Serebii is to be believed.

Best ball for a Gyarados?

>>30832218
Balltists, I need your help. I don't know much about breeding for balls.

Trying to get this hidden ability onto my eevee with a moon ball. I caught a male ha eevee in an ugly dusk ball because it rejected everything else, and I didn't want it to struggle to death. I have a female eevee in a moon ball, but it has Run Away.

Is there any possible way to set this up? Any time I breed for the moon ball, the male offspring will lose the ball and the female offspring will take over the ability. What do?

>>30843134
I'm probably not reading this right, but It sounds like you have what you want?

I dunno, just keep trying. You have a 50% chance of getting either parents ball, then you have to hope for getting the correct ability

Espeon + Moon Ball

>>30843164
I thought the female always passed down the ball? If this is true then sweet! Thanks

>>30843207
Thankfully they changed it this gen.

Ball for Flamenco Bird? I hate that cherish aren't available to buy.

>>30843656
Poke Ball or Fast Ball.
Fast Ball has an orange-ish sprite, but it's actually Red.

Help, what do I use for a shiny Togedemaru, or just Togedemaru in general since shiny is pretty similar to the normal one.

>>30844304
Is it pink?
I can't really tell 2bh.
If it is, maybe Heal Ball will work for pink + yellow.

>>30844335
I think it's rather beige than pink, but a Heal Ball might work, thanks.

Currently playing Black, am i doing this right?

Swoobat - Great ball
Gothitelle - Dusk ball
Sigilyph - Either time or nest balls
Beeheeyem - Either time or repeat balls
Musharna - Heal ball

>>30844813
combee's in kanto in HGSS

>>30842223
SWEDEN YES

>>30835443
Yes, but if you pass the Pokemon from Dppt to a gen V game, the special ball you caught it in will show up in its Gen V summary. I do this because the poke transfer is language locked, and I have a English SS, Spanish Platinum and Spanish gen V games. I am forced to go: SS>Pt>BW>ORAS, and the apricorn balls stay.

>>30832252
Fucking kill yourself mate

post game cosmog gets put into a pokeball. the only way to get a lunala in a beast ball is to have someone trade you a beast ball before you encounter it.

>>30832509
The more I look at luxury ball, the more I hate it. That red strip is stupid but I guess it's the best people have for matching things like litten right now. Speaking of, its not like you can legally have that combination anyway.

I used to put everything in luxury balls, and for bonuses it's definitely the best. Then I moved on from those to premier, which I've also gotten sort of bored over. The only things I've ever been full balltism about was with the Tapus which would have been:

Bulu - Friend Ball (matching type colour, green release sparkles, matching tear drop colours). Most decide Repeat Ball is the best, but the send out animation is way better suited for Koko and I'd rather not have doubles.

Koko - Repeat Ball, reasoning above - the actual 3D ball is red but on the summary its orange. Fast Ball is super fine too, but its release animation is shit.

Lele - Love Ball, if you put it in a heal ball don't speak to me.

Fini - Dive Ball. Though it's purple, the blue accents she has saves her from falling into a gross master ball with the generic sparkles.

Also I said "would have been" because I had to catch 3 of them in Master Balls due to HP farming. I'll have someone change them later though.
