Poké Balls are small, round objects used for capturing and containing wild Pokémon. They may not be used to capture another Trainer's Pokémon or a boss Pokémon.

Mechanics

Poké Balls may be used outside of or during a battle with a wild Pokémon. When not engaged with a Pokémon, using the Poké Ball will throw it. This technique requires aiming at the Pokémon that is to be capture by placing the mouse cursor over the Pokémon. Using this technique, there is a small chance that the thrown Poké Ball will break into its component parts (Base, button, and base) if the Poké Ball misses the Pokémon and hits a block. If this happens, it is possible to collect the broken pieces and reconstruct the Poké Ball in the crafting interface.

If engaged in a Pokémon battle, during a turn, clicking on the Bag option will show all Poké Balls in the Minecraft inventory under the Poké Balls tab. This method requires no aim as any selected Poké Ball will be automatically thrown at the wild Pokémon.

Regarding outside of battle, not all Poké Balls have their effect when used outside in battle. Specifically: Dream, Level, Love, Lure, Quick and Timer balls have no effect outside of battle.

Types

The different types of Poké Balls each have different effects, usually related to catch rate.

Crafting

A few items are needed to begin making Poké Balls:

Although each Poké Ball differs, they are all crafted similarly:

  • Smelt three Apricorns of the required colors for the desired Poké Ball (a list of which can be found here).
  • Lay them in a row on the crafting table to produce a base from the Apricorns.

Note: Cherish Ball, GS Ball, Master Ball, and Park Ball lids cannot be crafted, if a ball breaks you'll receive these lids as of 9.0.0.

Other locations

Besides crafting, most Poké Balls can be obtained from special drops and shopkeepers.

Config settings

  • "allowCaptureOutsideBattle": If set to false, players cannot throw Poké Balls and catch Pokémon outside of battle.

Poké Ball Tiering

As of Pixelmon 9.0, Poké Balls are now seperated into 3 separate tiers related to crafting. Each tier has a corresponding crafting yield and crafting ingredients specific to each tier. For Base Balls, the bases must be constructed out of the corresponding material for each tier whereas for Hisuian Balls, the lids must be constructed out of each corresponding material.

  • Tier 1: 5 lids are crafted per recipe, the base/lid of these balls must be constructed out of iron or Grid Aluminium Ingot.pngAluminium Ingots.
  • Tier 2: 3 lids are crafted per recipe, the base/lid of these balls must be constructed out of Grid Silver Ingot.pngSilver Ingots.
  • Tier 3: 1 lid is crafted per recipe, the base/lid of these balls must be constructed out of Grid Platinum Ingot.pngPlatinum Ingots.

NBT tag IDs

The Poké Ball that a Pokémon is contained inside of is stored internally in NBT using an ID. This can be used when editing a Pokémon's NBT tags or specifying the containing Poké Ball with the /pokespawn and /pokegive commands.
