* In [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the Pokémon!". | * In [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the Pokémon!". | ||

* A Poké Ball cannot be thrown during a wild [[Double Battle]] or [[Horde Encounter]] unless all wild Pokémon are defeated except one, with the game claiming "It's no good! It's impossible to aim unless there is only one Pokémon!" in Horde Encounters, and "It's no good! It's impossible to aim when there are two Pokémon!" in Double Battles. A player can, however, snag Pokémon in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} even if there are two on the opposing side of the field. | * A Poké Ball cannot be thrown during a wild [[Double Battle]] or [[Horde Encounter]] unless all wild Pokémon are defeated except one, with the game claiming "It's no good!

Additionally, in [[Generation V]], when encountering two wild Pokemon in [[dark grass]] (without the aid of an NPC partner), it is not possible to issue commands to a Pokémon during the same turn as throwing a Poké Ball (though it is still possible to throw a Poké Ball if one Pokémon is in the middle of a two-turn move). A player can, however, snag [[Shadow Pokémon]] in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} even if there are two on the opposing side of the field. | ||
* | * From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onwards it is not possible to use a Poké Ball on a Pokémon which is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable state}} of a move (like {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}). | ||
