Dusk Ball!!! Dusk Ball!!! Dusk Ball!!!

From HG/SS my Favorite was the Heavy Ball. Definitely want to use one for Metagross (though I don’t think there is a legal way as of yet…)

I only use Pokeballs. I like having all my pokémon in the same red and white sphere, nobody is better than anyone.

Definitely Dusk Balls. It’s the most efficient means of capture imo. During other games I would choose a ball based off of my perception of the Pokemon’s personality (Dusk Balls for shadow-ey types, Luxury Balls for regal types, Net Balls for water and bug types, etc).

As some of the peple above,
with the pokemons colour scheme being the deciding factor mostly.
There seems to always be at least one pokeball with the same shade of some part.
Lately I also tend to use Luxury Balls on ones that I really like… but also on anything that needs happiness to evolve, for obvious reasons.

It can get expensive having 20 of each “special” Ball on you at all times, but I also tend to reset and retry for any stationary poke if I feel like I used too many without success.

I’v caught Groudons with a Pokeball 5 times already which is why whenever I see a wild one, I get my PokeBallz ready.

When it comes to shinies, I always stock up on Premier Balls because I think they fit each other.

Timer balls are crap, they never worked for me even when i reached its “max” capture success rate when i passed 40 turns.

When i noticed Quick Balls in D/P i was exstatic, i couldnt believe gamefreak would make it so easy to catch pokemon, so those i use the most, despite how expensive they are.

Ultra balls are fine, however they hardly ever catch legendaries for me (great balls work better for me) and dusk balls are amazing when catching legends also.

I am an OCD freak when it comes to Pokemon. I catch every single Pokemon in the good ol’ ordinary Poke Ball.
There are three exceptions to this rule of mine: The cover legendary Pokemon (Giratina in Platinum, Reshiram in Black, etc.) is caught in the Master Ball. Every other legendary in the game is caught in a Premier Ball (a daunting but rewarding task). And only because it is something I can’t control, event Pokemon are in… Cherish Balls… 🙁

Hmm…I like using timer balls on shiny Pokemon for some odd reason. I got lucky running into a shiny eevee in the trophy garden a couple years ago and used a timer ball on it, so now when I send out my Glaceon I love the way it all looks. xD

Also I have a thing where if say I’m catching a pokemon, and I’m using great balls and I have one greatball left, I’ll switch to another one. I like having at least one type of every pokeball. Not sure why though .-.

I choose the pokeballs depending on the pkm’s color scheme if I like them. Yesterday I found a shiny electabuzz but captured it with a normal pokeball. If I capture for example, a skitty, it will either be a luxury ball, heal ball, etc…

I hate great and master balls u_u
