Effect

When used from the Bag in a Catching Show encounter in Pal Park, it catches the encountered Pokémon without fail.

The player does not gain ownership of the caught Pokémon until they complete the Catching Show and choose to place the caught Pokémon in their boxes. The Pokémon remain in the Poké Balls they were originally caught with in Generation III; no Pokémon can have a Park Ball as its own Poké Ball.
