A '''Ball Capsule''' (Japanese: '''ボールカプセル''' ''Ball Capsule'') is a special [[item]] introduced in [[Generation IV]] that can be attached to a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[Poké Ball]] to add special effects when the Pokémon is sent out in a {{pkmn|battle}}. | |||

Ball Capsules may be accessed from the {{player}}'s own [[PC]]. There are twelve spaces for them to be saved on, and their appearance can be altered by adding [[Seal]]s to their exteriors, which are used to create a variety of special effects. Most Seals can be purchased in the [[Sunyshore Market]] at [[Sunyshore City]]. A total of eight Seals can be attached to a Ball Capsule at one time. | |||

Likewise, when a Pokémon is [[trade]]d, the Ball Capsule will automatically be removed. | ||
[[Non-player character|NPC]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in {{game|Platinum}} use Ball Capsules, notable examples include the [[Sunyshore Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]] [[Volkner]] and the [[Elite Four]] member {{EF|Flint}}, who use Ball Capsules on the Poké Balls of their {{p|Electivire}} and {{p|Magmortar}}, respectively. | |||

[[File:Ball Capsule anime.png|thumb|220px|Dawn demonstrating how to use a Ball Capsule in the anime]] | |||
In the [[Pokémon anime]], Ball Capsules are mainly used by {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s in [[Pokémon Contest]]s held in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]] to enhance a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s stage appearance, as it is important to make a good first impression right out of the [[Poké Ball]]. | |||
In this [[canon]], Ball Capsules were introduced in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', in which {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} were seen receiving a Ball Capsule each after registering for a [[Contest Pass]]. Ash had never heard of Ball Capsules before and so Dawn explained to him how they can be used in combination with [[Seal]]s to add special effects when a Pokémon is sent out. | |||
In Sinnoh, Coordinators will receive a Ball Capsule along with a variety of Seals, a [[Ribbon]] case, and a rule book when signing up for their first Pokémon Contest, but it is assumed that additional Capsules can be bought at [[Poké Mart]]s, since Dawn has been seen with more than one Ball Capsule during competitions following the [[Double Performance]] format. | |||
While Pokémon Contests seem to be their main use in the anime, they cannot be used during {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}. | |||

In ''[[PS354|Knowledge of the Unown I]]'', {{adv|Platinum}} receives a Ball Capsule and some Seals as thanks for giving the [[Pokémon News Press]] information on {{p|Unown}}. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
* For ''[[DP012|Some Enchanted Sweetening!]]'', [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Ball Capsules. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about it: 「はってみよう シールキラキラ ボールカプセル」 ''Let's see, the Seals shine, Ball Capsule.'' | |||
