In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Pokémon caught in Poké Balls that do not exist in that game instead display a Strange Ball as their Poké Ball.
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Pokémon caught in Poké Balls that do not exist in that game instead display a Strange Ball as their Poké Ball.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Pokémon caught in any Poké Ball other than one of the Hisuian Poké Balls are displayed as being caught in a Strange Ball.

{{g|Sword and Shield}} do not feature Strange Balls; Pokémon caught in Hisuian Poké Balls are displayed in standard {{i|Poké Ball}}s if viewed in the Switch version of {{pkmn|HOME}} with a Sword or Shield savefile selected, or if no savefile is selected.
{{g|Sword and Shield}} do not feature Strange Balls; Pokémon caught in Hisuian Poké Balls are displayed in standard {{i|Poké Ball}}s instead, with [[Pokémom HOME]] storing the original ball server-side. When returned to HOME, this Pokémom will regain their original balls.
* This is only a visual change, as the ball is not changed to a standard Poké Ball simply by viewing the Pokémon in HOME, it is only displayed as such. This effect still occurs for species and forms that cannot enter Sword or Shield due to incompatibility.
Pokémon withdrawn from HOME into Sword or Shield that originated from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} are placed into standard {{i|Poké Ball}}s.
* Withdrawing a Pokémon with any Hisuian Ball into Sword or Shield causes the ball to change to a standard {{i|Poké Ball}}, this is not a visual change. The ball ID value becomes that of a standard Poké Ball, with HOME storing the information for the original ball server-side. When deposited back into HOME, the original ball will be restored.


The Strange Ball is only defined as an [[item]] in Legends: Arceus, Scarlet, and Violet. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, it does not exist as an actual item, only as a graphic displayed for Pokémon with a ball ID value that doesn't match any ball found in the game.

* As an example, a Pokémon altered with third party tools to have been caught in a [[Park Ball]] in Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl would also appear in a Strange Ball, as would be the case for any other invalid/out-of-bounds ball ID.
