The '''GS Ball''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＧＳ|ジーエス}}ボール''' ''GS Ball'') is a special and mysterious [[Poké Ball]]. Its design appears to be a reference to {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the first core series games of Generation II, as the ball has the letters "GS" inscribed upon it and is colored both gold and silver.

An NPC in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} mentions the GS Ball, claiming that it stands for '''greatest smith's ball''' (Japanese: '''ガンテツすごいボール''' ''{{tt|Gantetsu|Kurt}}'s Superb Ball'') or '''Gold-Silver Ball''' (Japanese: '''ゴールドシルバーボール''' ''Gold-Silver Ball'').

In the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}, players could use the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] and the Pokémon News Machine at the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] in [[Goldenrod City]] to obtain a GS Ball as an [[event item]] from the {{DL|Pokémon Center Nurse|Sprites|Pokémon Communication Center's Trade Corner attendant}}. After obtaining the GS Ball, the player needs to take it to [[Kurt]], who will analyze it for a day. After it has been analyzed, the player must place it on the [[Ilex Forest]] Shrine during a period when Ilex Forest is suddenly restless, which will cause a [[level]] 30 {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Celebi}} to be summoned.

For Western localisations, the distribution event was adapted to the {{ci|Goldenrod}} [[Pokémon Center]] but was never used. It is possible to use a modified version of the [[Celebi Egg glitch]] to spawn the GS Ball as a [[held item]].

====Passive effect====
In the Korean versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the dummy item [[Teru-sama]] with ID 0x73 is labeled "GS Ball" (Korean: '''{{k|GS볼}}''' ''GS Ball''). This item ID is the same one used by the GS Ball in Crystal and {{g|Stadium 2}}, and is called Teru-sama in Japanese and Western Gold and Silver.
After obtaining the GS Ball, the player needs to take it to [[Kurt]], who will analyze it for a day. After it has been analyzed and returned, [[Ilex Forest]] becomes restless, and the player must place it on the [[Ilex Forest shrine]], which will summon a [[level]] 30 {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Celebi}}.

===Distribution===
In the original Japanese release of {{game|Crystal}}, players could obtain a GS Ball as an [[event item]] from the {{DL|Pokémon Center Nurse|Sprites|Trade Corner attendant}} through the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] and the Pokémon News Machine at the Pokémon Communication Center in Goldenrod City.
 
For the original Western localizations, the distribution event was adapted to the Goldenrod Pokémon Center but was never used. It is possible to use a modified version of the [[Celebi Egg glitch]] to spawn the GS Ball as a [[held item]].
 
In the [[Virtual Console]] releases, the GS Ball no longer requires an event distribution as in the original games. It can be obtained after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] upon exiting the Pokémon Communication Center in the Japanese version or the Goldenrod Pokémon Center in the Western localizations.

The GS Ball was created by the [[Masked Man]] in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} using a net made from [[Silver and Rainbow Wings|the feathers]] of {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} to capture {{adv|Celebi}}. Only the feathers of the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] could contain Celebi, and prevent their holder from suffering the ill effects of time travel. {{adv|Gold}} was able to use [[Pibu]] to destroy the ball and set Celebi free.

[[File:Labeled Teru-Sama GoldSilver-KOR.png|thumb|A "GS Ball" is one of three dummy items in Korean Gold and Silver]]
