Pokémon the Series

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Hisuian Poké Balls first appeared in The Arceus Chronicles (Part 1), as part of the Sinnoh Festival. Cynthia gave Ash, Goh, and Dawn an old Poké Ball each, replicated using old schematics, and challenged them to catch a Rowlet, a Cyndaquil, and an Oshawott with them.

In The Arceus Chronicles (Part 4), Rei was seen crafting some Hisuian Poké Balls.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series

In Orla and the Poké Ball Smith, several Hisuian Poké Balls appeared amongst the custom Poké Balls made by Karna.

Trivia

The Hisuian Poké Ball is the only type of Poké Ball that always reduces the catch rate of a Pokémon regardless of species.
