An Ancient Poké Ball is a tool used for catching and storing caught Pokémon.
There are 16 variants of Ancient Poké Balls, 1 of which is currently unobtainable in survival.
Obtaining
All Ancient Poké Balls must be crafted or found in ruins. This is not planned to change.
The Ancient Origin Ball is currently unobtainable in survival gameplay and can only be obtained through Creative Mode or commands. It can freely be used for any purpose, such as for event distributions on servers.

Ancient Poké Balls are no different in usage than regular Poké Balls. The core difference lies in their crafting; all Ancient Poké Balls require one of the 3 types of Tumblestone to craft.
