The '''Dive Ball''' (Japanese: '''ダイブボール''' ''Dive Ball'') is a type of [[Poké Ball]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It can be used to catch a [[wild Pokémon]], being more likely to succeed in [[water tile|water]] encounters, originally specifically [[underwater]] encounters. It was first developed in [[Mossdeep City]].

If used [[underwater]], the Dive Ball has a 3.5× [[catch rate]] modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier. Since there are no underwater areas in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, it will always have a 1× modifier in those games. In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, [[Phenac Stadium]] is considered an underwater area, so the Dive Ball has a 3.5× catch rate modifier there.

====Generation IV to VIII====

If used while {{m|surf}}ing, [[fishing]], or [[underwater]], the Dive Ball has a 3.5× [[catch rate]] modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier. If used on an [[Ultra Beast]], the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 410/4096× (~0.1×).

 

If used while the Pokémon is currently on or in water, the Dive Ball has a 3.5× [[catch rate]] modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier. This does not count for Pokémon flying above the water due to a glitch, except for {{p|Tropius}}.
