===Effect===
===Effect===
When used from the [[Bag]] in a {{pkmn2|wild}} encounter, it will attempt to capture the wild Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] modifier of 3× if it was encountered while [[fishing]] or 1× if otherwise.
When used from the [[Bag]] in a {{pkmn2|wild}} encounter, it attempts to capture the wild Pokémon. If the encounter is a [[fishing]] encounter, it has a [[catch rate]] modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier.
 
The Lure Ball cannot be used in situations in which Poké Balls cannot be used, such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present or against a [[Island challenge|trial]] Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle, the opposing Trainer will bat the ball away, wasting the item.
 
====Held item====
{{m|Fling}} fails if the user is holding a Lure Ball.
 
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} only, Lure Balls cannot be held. This is to prevent them being held by a Pokémon [[trade]]d to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, where the item does not exist.

In the [[EP144]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received a Lure Ball each from [[Kurt]]. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively.  
In ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', a Lure Ball appears in a visual cut-in while [[Maizie]] is explaining what [[Apricorn]] Poké Balls are.
 
In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} each received a Lure Ball from [[Kurt]] at the end of the episode.
 
In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Ash and Misty both wanted to catch a wild {{AP|Totodile}}, so both threw their Lure Balls at it; one of the Lure Balls successfully caught the Totodile, but it was unclear whether it was Ash's or Misty's ball. Ash and Misty had a battle to decide who would keep Totodile; Ash won the battle, so he was able to keep Totodile, while Misty kept the unused Lure Ball. In ''[[EP213|A Corsola Caper!]]'', Misty used her Lure Ball to catch a {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}.
 
In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', the {{DL|Kimono Girl|In the anime|Kimono Sisters}} (excluding [[Sakura]]) were shown keeping their [[Eeveelution]]s inside Apricorn Poké Balls, with Sumomo's {{p|Vaporeon}}'s ball being a Lure Ball.

Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has not appeared since.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and the {{Trading Card Game}}, Lure Balls are shown to have a green outer coloring; however, in official artwork and the anime, they are shown to have a blue outer coloring. In later games, the Lure Ball's color is changed to the official blue color.
