This article is about the modern incarnation of the Great Ball. For the Great Ball from Legends: Arceus, see Great Ball (Hisui).

The Great Ball (Japanese: スーパーボール Super Ball) is a type of Poké Ball introduced in Generation I. It is an improved variant of the regular Poké Ball that can be used to catch wild Pokémon.

In the core series games

Price

Games	Cost	Sell price
RG B Y/RB Y GS C RS E FRLG DP Pt HGSS BW B2W2 XY ORAS SM USUM SwShBDSP	$600	$300
PE	$300	$150
SV	$600	$150

In Pokémon Crystal, a Great Ball costs $500 during the Goldenrod Department Store rooftop sale.

Effect

Manual activation

When used from the Bag in a wild encounter, it will attempt to catch the wild Pokémon with a catch rate modifier of 1.5×.

If used on an Ultra Beast, the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 410/4096× (~0.1×).

The Great Ball 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 trial Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle (except if used as a Snag Ball on a Shadow Pokémon), the opposing Trainer will deflect it, wasting the ball (in Generation III and earlier) or only the player's turn (from Generation IV onward). If used on the ghost Marowak, it will dodge it, wasting the ball.

Held item

Fling fails if the user is holding a Great Ball.

In Pokémon Stadium 2, Great Balls appear in the mini-game Furret's Frolic. They are worth two points each.

In the spin-off games

Pokémon Shuffle

Using a Great Ball on Pancham in Pokémon Shuffle

In Pokémon Shuffle, whenever the player defeats an uncaught Pokémon that is not a Trainer's Mega Evolved Pokémon, they get a chance to catch that Pokémon with a regular Poké Ball provided automatically. If the Pokémon escapes that Poké Ball, the player is prompted to purchase a Great Ball. Great Balls cost 2500 Coins in the 3DS version of the game and 3500 Coins in Pokémon Shuffle Mobile. This Great Ball is immediately used against the Pokémon. If a Great Ball fails, the player can purchase another, unless they have already used four Great Balls on the current catch attempt. If the fourth Great Ball fails, or if the player chooses not to purchase a Great Ball at any point, the Pokémon runs away and the stage concludes. The Pokémon also has a chance to flee each time it escapes a Great Ball.

Using a Great Ball doubles the Pokémon's current catchability, increasing the chance of a capture succeeding. This is not repeated when the player purchases further Great Balls. On rare occasions, Super Catch Power will activate after the catchability doubling but before the prompt for the Great Ball. Super Catch Power boosts the player's odds of catching the Pokémon to 50% or more. This can only be taken advantage of by using a Great Ball, since the player is past the point they are allowed to throw a Poké Ball.

Catchability maxes out at 100%, which is displayed as "MAX". Therefore, the Great Ball will not fully double the catchability if the catchability is already at 51% or higher.

In Pokémon Frienda, after a set number of moves have been used and at least one opposing Pokémon has fainted, the player can insert ¥100 for a chance to catch all of the opposing Pokémon.

The EX FireRed & LeafGreen printing of Great Ball

Main article: Great Ball (EX FireRed & LeafGreen 92)

The Great Ball was introduced as a Trainer card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English EX Series (the Japanese PCG Era). It was first released in the Japanese Flight of Legends expansion and the English EX FireRed & LeafGreen expansion, with artwork by Nakaoka. It originally allowed the player to search their deck for any Basic Pokémon (excluding Pokémon-ex), and put it onto their Bench. Then, they shuffle their deck. During the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era) the card was reclassified as an Item card, and the card received errata to change the effect. Now, it lets the player search the top seven cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card, put it in their hand, and then shuffle the other cards back into their deck. Great Ball has been reprinted many times since.

Team Magma's Great Ball and Team Aqua's Great Ball are Team Magma and Team Aqua versions of Great Balls. They are Item cards, and were printed in the English Double Crisis expansion and Japanese Magma Gang VS Aqua Gang: Double Crisis expansion. Team Magma's Great Ball lets the player search their deck for a for a Basic Team Magma Pokémon and a Basic Energy and put them in their hand. Team Aqua's Great Ball lets the player search their deck for a for a Basic Team Aqua Pokémon and a Basic Energy and put them in their hand. For both cards, the deck is shuffled afterward.

Trivia

In Generation I only, the Great Ball has a higher catch rate than the Ultra Ball in certain situations.

+===Pokémon Shuffle===
+[[File:Shuffle Great Ball.png|thumb|200px|Using a Great Ball on {{p|Pancham}} in Pokémon Shuffle]]
+In {{g|Shuffle}}, whenever the player defeats an uncaught Pokémon that is not a [[Trainer]]'s [[Mega Evolve]]d Pokémon, they get a chance to [[Caught Pokémon|catch that Pokémon]] with a regular [[Poké Ball]] provided automatically. If the Pokémon escapes that Poké Ball, the player is prompted to purchase a Great Ball. Great Balls cost 2500 Coins in the 3DS version of the game and 3500 Coins in Pokémon Shuffle Mobile. This Great Ball is immediately used against the Pokémon. If a Great Ball fails, the player can purchase another, unless they have already used four Great Balls on the current catch attempt. If the fourth Great Ball fails, or if the player chooses not to purchase a Great Ball at any point, the Pokémon runs away and the stage concludes. The Pokémon also has a chance to flee each time it escapes a Great Ball.
+Using a Great Ball doubles the Pokémon's current [[Caught Pokémon|catchability]], increasing the chance of a capture succeeding. This is not repeated when the player purchases further Great Balls. On rare occasions, [[Pokémon Shuffle#Catching Pokémon|Super Catch Power]] will activate after the catchability doubling but before the prompt for the Great Ball. Super Catch Power boosts the player's odds of catching the Pokémon to 50% or more. This can only be taken advantage of by using a Great Ball, since the player is past the point they are allowed to throw a Poké Ball.
+Catchability maxes out at 100%, which is displayed as "MAX". Therefore, the Great Ball will not fully double the catchability if the catchability is already at 51% or higher.

 {{main|Great Ball (EX FireRed & LeafGreen 92)}}
-The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, debuting in {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}}, originally allowed the player to search their deck for any {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} and add it to their hand. Starting in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have the player search the top 7 cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card and put it in the hand.
+The '''Great Ball''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English EX Series (the Japanese PCG Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Flight of Legends}} expansion and the English {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}} expansion, with artwork by [[Nakaoka]]. It originally allowed the player to search their deck for any {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} (excluding {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}}), and put it onto their Bench. Then, they shuffle their deck. During the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era) the card was reclassified as an {{TCG|Item card}}, and the card received [[errata]] to change the effect. Now, it lets the player search the top seven cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card, put it in their hand, and then shuffle the other cards back into their deck. Great Ball has been reprinted many times since.
+{{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Magma's Great Ball|31}} and {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Aqua's Great Ball|27}} are [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] versions of Great Balls. They are Item cards, and were printed in the English {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion and Japanese {{TCG|Magma Gang VS Aqua Gang: Double Crisis}} expansion. Team Magma's Great Ball lets the player search their deck for a for a Basic Team Magma Pokémon and a [[Basic Fighting Energy (TCG)|Basic]] {{e|Fighting}} [[Basic Fighting Energy (TCG)|Energy]] and put them in their hand. Team Aqua's Great Ball lets the player search their deck for a for a Basic Team Aqua Pokémon and a [[Basic Water Energy (TCG)|Basic]] {{e|Water}} [[Basic Water Energy (TCG)|Energy]] and put them in their hand. For both cards, the deck is shuffled afterward.
