The Moon 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 [[Island challenge|trial]] Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle, the opposing Trainer will bat the ball away, wasting the item.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, while it is intended to be more effective against Pokémon that evolve by using Moon Stone and their evolutionary relatives, due to [[List of glitches in Generation II#Catch rate|a glitch]], it always has a 1× [[catch rate]]. (Instead, the Moon Ball is more effective against Pokémon that evolve by using a [[Burn Heal]], but there are no such Pokémon.)

Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, if the wild Pokémon is part of an [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary family]] that includes a Pokémon who evolves by using a [[Moon Stone]], it has a 4× [[catch rate]] modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier. If used on an [[Ultra Beast]], the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 0.1×.
