A '''sphere''' (Japanese: '''タマ''' ''tama'') is the basic unit of currency in [[the Underground]] of [[Sinnoh]]. They come in five colors: {{color|{{red color}}|'''Red'''}}, {{color|{{green color}}|'''Green'''}}, {{color|{{blue color}}|'''Blue'''}}, {{color|{{diamond color}}|'''Prism'''}}, and {{color|{{pearl color}}|'''Pale'''}}.  These correspond to different versions of the [[Pokémon games]], with the first three matching the original colors of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Red, Green]] and [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], (or perhaps [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], and {{v2|Emerald}}) and the Prism and Pale spheres corresponding to {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} respectively.[[Image:Underground-merchant-locations.png|thumb|300px|Location of the [[Hiker|Hikers]] who sell and buy spheres from players.]]

Spheres of these five colors can be found commonly by mining in the Underground. More common are those that are Red, Blue, and Green, while the Pale and Prism spheres are common in the version that corresponds to them and rare in the other one. Spheres can range in size from 1 to 99, though most spheres found will be in the range of 5-20.

Spheres can be used to purchase many things that a player will need to decorate their [[secret base]], as well as [[trap]]s which can be set up throughout the underground. [[Hiker]]s that stand at some of the corners of the Underground will offer to trade these [[item]]s for the spheres. The price that the item is listed for is the minimum size sphere that the hiker will take for it, though larger ones may be used.

Players are only allowed to carry a total of 40 spheres of any size at any time, so this build-up should be taken care of from time to time, by burying, buying goods or traps from the vendors, or even destroying them through the 'Trash' option. A full sphere inventory will prevent the looting of any more spheres, automatically 'deleting' any new sphere that has been found in a mining session. If a player attempts to pull one of their buried spheres from the ground, the game will report on the full inventory and refuse to do so, saying that the player has left it where it is.
