==In the side series games== | |||
===Pokémon Stadium 2=== | |||
In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Great Balls appear in the mini-game {{p|Furret}}'s Frolic. They are worth two points each. | |||
==In the spin-off games== | |||
===Pokémon Shuffle=== | |||
{{incomplete|section|needs=Image}} | |||
Whenever the player defeats an uncaught Pokémon, they get a chance to catch that Pokémon, with a regular Poké Ball provided automatically. If the player fails to catch a Pokémon with that Poké Ball, they can use a Great Ball at a cost of 2500 Coins (Pokémon Shuffle) or 3500 Coins (Pokémon Shuffle Mobile). 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, the Pokémon will automatically run away. | |||
The Great Ball is generally twice as effective as a regular Poké Ball. On rare occasions, Super Catch Power will activate after failing a Poké Ball, which boosts the player's odds of catching the Pokémon to 50% or more. | |||
===Pokémon GO=== | |||
[[File:GO Great Ball.png|thumb|150px|A Great Ball in Pokémon GO]] | |||
Great Balls can be used during wild Pokémon encounters to attempt to capture a wild Pokémon with a {{OBP|catch rate|GO}} modifier of 1.5×. | |||
====Description==== | |||
{{movedesc|Poké Balls}} | |||
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevss|GO}}|A high-performance ball with a higher catch rate than a standard Poké Ball.}} | |||
|} | |||
|} | |||
====Acquisition==== | |||
The player is awarded Great Balls when they [[Trainer level|level up]] to any level from 12 to 19. | |||
Great Balls can also be repeatably obtained by | |||
* Spinning the Photo Disc of [[PokéStop]]s or {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s (Lv. 12+) | |||
* [[Field Research]] | |||
* Opening a [[Gift]] (Lv. 12+) | |||
===Pokémon Pinball series=== | |||
In [[Pokémon Pinball]] and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], the Great Ball multiplies bonus points by ×2. | |||

- 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
|
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.

Whenever the player defeats an uncaught Pokémon, they get a chance to catch that Pokémon, with a regular Poké Ball provided automatically. If the player fails to catch a Pokémon with that Poké Ball, they can use a Great Ball at a cost of 2500 Coins (Pokémon Shuffle) or 3500 Coins (Pokémon Shuffle Mobile). 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, the Pokémon will automatically run away.
The Great Ball is generally twice as effective as a regular Poké Ball. On rare occasions, Super Catch Power will activate after failing a Poké Ball, which boosts the player's odds of catching the Pokémon to 50% or more.
Pokémon GO
Great Balls can be used during wild Pokémon encounters to attempt to capture a wild Pokémon with a catch rate modifier of 1.5×.
