'''PAL''': ''A ball holding one of any number of Pokémon just waiting to burst out and help you in battle. Which kind will it be? Well, that's a surprise, but whichever one it is, it'll definitely up the intensity of the battle! If you see one, make sure you're the one to grab it!''

==In the anime==

===Main series===

In the anime, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties rarely being used at all, especially prior to ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. The vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls are usually exclusively standard Poké Balls. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime who spends all of his time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. This could be due to the {{pkmn|games}} not keeping a track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was {{pkmn2|caught}} in prior to [[Generation III]], making the anime not showing Pokémon in non-standard Poké Balls concordant with the games.
