The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} | The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} was introduced as an {{TCG|Item card}} in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Secret of the Lakes}} expansion). It allows the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. Its effect is similar to the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}}. | ||
The {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Shield}} expansion) issued an [[erratum]] that changed the effect of Quick Ball. Quick Ball is now a more specialized version of [[Ultra Ball#In the TCG|Ultra Ball]], requiring the player to [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Discard Pile|discard]] a card from their [[hand]] to search for a {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Basic Pokémon}} from their deck and put it into their hand. Due to the erratum, all older printings of Quick Ball are treated as having the text of the Sword and Shield version. | |||

** In Generation IV, Pokémon with a catch rate of 192 or higher are guaranteed to be caught, though any with catch rates ranging from 151 to 191 have a 99.994% chance to succeed. | ** In Generation IV, Pokémon with a catch rate of 192 or higher are guaranteed to be caught, though any with catch rates ranging from 151 to 191 have a 99.994% chance to succeed. | ||
* In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], due to the nature of the game's overworld encounters, it is possible to use the Quick Ball's boosted catch rate modifier on the same Pokémon multiple times by [[Escape|running]] from it and then reinitiating the encounter. | |||
