Pokémon Sword and Shield: How to get rare Poké Balls

This article is over 4 years old and may contain outdated information

When you catch a Pokémon, it will forever remain in the Poké Ball it was first caught in. When it breeds, its offspring will also be kept in the same kind of Poké Ball. If you are concerned with aesthetics, having every Pokémon in a standard Poké Ball, Great Ball, or Ultra Ball is nothing short of criminal. Here are some rare and stylish Poké Balls in Pokémon Sword and Shield and how to get them.

Others

The remaining types of rare Poké Balls include the following:

  • Repeat Ball
  • Quick Ball
  • Luxury Ball
  • Nest Ball
  • Net Ball
  • Dusk Ball
  • Timer Ball
  • Heal Ball
  • Dive Ball

Vendors sell each of these randomly in the Wild Area for Watts. Some vendors in select Pokémon Centers will also sell them for Poké Dollars. Otherwise, beating the tournament will often reward players with three of a specific type of these Poké Balls.

Keep in mind that each of these Poké Balls works better on different Pokémon. Remember to check what they do before using one, especially for balls like the Dream Ball where there is a finite amount. Happy hunting, trainers!
