Ball Shop

[Akira]

This is the shop where one can go to purchase special types of Poke Balls. The thing about these balls is most of them have a unique features that differentiate themselves from the normal Poke, Great and Ultra Balls sold in the Basic Item shop.

To make things simple, here's how they work; if the trainer uses the ball under the condition that it is meant to be used, it will be as powerful as an Ultra Ball. Otherwise, it's no different from a normal Poke Ball. If you still have any questions as to whether a ball would work under a certain situation, then feel free to contact an admin or a mod.

Net Ball
A ball that works well for catching Water and Bug-type Pokemon.

Dive Ball
A ball that works well on Pokemon who are underwater and/or out at sea.

Heal Ball
A special ball that fully heals the Pokemon it captures, allowing them to battle right away. Unlike the rest of these, this ball has a consistent catch rate; i.e. it's always as powerful as a Great Ball. The only reason it's not listed under "Other Balls" is because the healing function can come in quite handy, depending on when/how the ball is used.

Quick Ball

Dusk Ball

Other Balls. These balls look fairly unique, but the difference is purely aesthetic. Otherwise, they're about equal in power to a Great Ball, with no other side effects. Why are they even for sale, you ask? Why the hell not? They cost 200 Credits each.
