Also known as: モンスターボール, 精灵球
A spherical capsule used to capture and store Pokémon. The most common and recognized Poké Ball is the basic Poké ball, which has two colored halves: red on top and white on bottom. It is one of the central symbols of the franchise. Known as a Monster Ball in Japan.
Normally, captured Pokémon are shrunken down and stored inside the ball, though some refuse to go inside the Poké Balls. Ash's Pikachu is a notable example.
Some Pokémon are noticeably similar to Poké Balls: Voltorb, Electrode (Pokemon), Foongus, Amoonguss, Galarian Stunfisk, and Brute Bonnet.
Don't tag Poké Balls as Balls or Holding Ball. Use Poke Ball, Holding Poke Ball, etc instead. Don't tag Tera Orbs as Poké Balls.
