The '''GS Ball''' (Japanese, | The '''GS Ball''' (Japanese, {{v2|Crystal}}: '''{{j|ジーエスボール}}''' ''GS Ball'', {{pkmn|anime}}: '''{{j|ＧＳボール}}''' ''GS Ball'') is a special and mysterious [[Poké Ball]]. Its design appears to be a reference to {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the first core series games of Generation II, as the ball has the letters "GS" inscribed upon it and is colored both gold and silver. | ||

After obtaining the GS Ball, the player needs to take it to [[Kurt]], who will analyze it for a day. After it has been analyzed, the player must place it on the [[Ilex Forest]] Shrine during a period when Ilex Forest is suddenly restless, which will cause a [[level]] 30 {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Celebi}} to be summoned. | ||
For Western localizations, the distribution event was adapted to the {{ci|Goldenrod}} [[Pokémon Center]] but was never used. It is possible to use a modified version of the [[Celebi Egg glitch]] to spawn the GS Ball as a [[held item]]. | |||
In the Korean versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the dummy item [[Teru-sama]] with ID 0x73 is labeled "GS Ball" (Korean: '''{{k|GS볼}}''' ''GS Ball''). This item ID is the same one used by the GS Ball in Crystal and {{g|Stadium 2}}, and is called Teru-sama in Japanese and Western Gold and Silver. | |||

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Professor Ivy]] was the first character to possess the GS Ball. She called upon the help of {{an|Professor Oak}} to study it, but couldn't figure out how to open it. Ivy tried to open it with hacksaws, hammers, crowbars, power drills and lasers, but to no avail. At one point, Ash tried simply calling a Pokémon to be released, but this did not work. The ball also couldn't be transmitted via [[PC]]. | In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Professor Ivy]] was the first character to possess the GS Ball.

In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Oak's studies on the ball proved to be extremely difficult, with {{Tracey}} even admitting that no new information was gathered.

In an [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] with [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] in 2008, it was explained that the GS Ball was originally going to contain a {{p|Celebi}} that was to be the star of a large arc of the Johto saga. However, it was decided that Celebi would be the star of [[M04|the fourth movie]], so the story arc was viewed as redundant and shelved. The ball was left with Kurt with the hopes that viewers would eventually forget about it. | In an [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] with [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] in 2008, it was explained that the GS Ball was originally going to contain a {{p|Celebi}} that was to be the star of a large arc of the Johto saga.
