* The Strange Ball and [[Park Ball]] are the only Poké Balls that cannot be a Pokémon's own Poké Ball, due to Pokémon displayed in Strange Balls retaining their original Poké Ball's [[index number]].
* The Strange, [[Park Ball|Park]], and [[Cherish Ball]]s, are the only Poké Balls introduced in the core series games that cannot be obtained in said games.
* The Park Ball, [[Cherish Ball]], and Strange Ball are the only Poké Balls in the core series games that have never been obtainable in any core series game.
** However, Pokémon can still be contained in a Cherish Ball via [[Mystery Gift]] distributions or when transferring an [[event]] Pokémon to {{g|Sword and Shield}}, making the Park and Strange Balls the only Poké Balls that cannot be seen in Sword and Shield in any capacity.
