Beast Balls 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.

{{incomplete|section|Details of events when Beast Balls were available}}
[[File:GO Beast Ball.png|120px|thumb|right|The Beast Ball in Pokémon GO]]
In {{g|GO}}, the Beast Ball is a special, event-exclusive Poké Ball used only during [[Ultra Beast]] encounters. They have a ×20 {{OBP|catch rate|GO}} multiplier.<ref>[https://twitter.com/bmenrigh_pogo/status/1622760228063449088 bmenrigh on X]</ref>
Currently, the Beast Ball is only available in Pokémon GO during specific [[List of events (GO)|in-game events]]. When these events are active, Beast Balls are the only kind of Poké Ball that can be used to capture an Ultra Beast.
* For {{GO|Raid Battle}} bonus challenges, players will be given a set of Beast Balls in place of Premier Balls.
* For {{GO|Research}} and [[GO Battle League]] reward encounters, players will have an infinite supply of Beast Balls.
** Due to a possible bug, [[Berry|Berries]] cannot be used during Ultra Beast encounter.
Like the [[Premier Ball]], it is never put into the player's [[Bag]] and cannot be kept after the encounter.

Beast Balls were created for [[Aether Foundation]] by [[Colress]] with help from the [[Ultra Recon Squad]] as a means of catching [[Ultra Beast]]s. They were first seen in ''[[PASM28|Arrival at the Scientific Megalopolis]]'', where {{adv|Blake}}, disguised as Colress, delivered 100 of them to [[Lusamine]] in preparation for her plan to catch the ultimate Ultra Beast: {{DL|Light trio (Adventures)|Necrozma}}.

In ''[[PASM29|Darkness!! The Mysterious Claws of Necrozma!]]'', Lusamine used a Beast Ball to catch the {{p|Naganadel}} that [[Phyco]] had used to [[Ultra Warp Ride|ride]] through [[Ultra Space]]. In ''[[PASM30|Madness!! Mother Lusamine!]]'', after riding the Naganadel to [[Ultra Megalopolis]], she started throwing her Beast Balls at Necrozma. While her attention was focused on Necrozma, {{adv|Sun}} used one of the Beast Balls that Lusamine had dropped to catch himself a {{p|Stakataka}}. {{adv|Moon}} also tried to use a Beast Ball to separate Lusamine from the {{p|Nihilego}} she had fused with, but she missed her target.

* In all European language versions of a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwgVAV-yG4c promotional trailer] for [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], {{p|Naganadel}} is shown to be sent out from a Beast Ball. However, there is no legitimate way to obtain a Naganadel in a Beast Ball in these games, as it is exclusively available as a [[gift Pokémon]] in a standard {{i|Poké Ball}} and as a gender unknown Pokémon, even if it could be bred, there would be no way to pass down a Beast Ball.

* Its Japanese name is the same as the [[Ultra Ball]] in English. "Ultra" in this case refers to "[[Ultra Beast]]s". This was likely changed due to the localization conflict with Ultra Ball, with "Beast" being used to refer to the Ultra Beasts instead.
* The Beast Ball's Japanese name (ウルトラボール) is a transliteration of the English words "Ultra Ball", the name of [[Ultra Ball|a different Poké Ball]] in English.
