A Poké Ball is a tool used for catching and storing caught Pokémon.

There are 32 variants of Poké Balls, 31 of which are obtainable via crafting.

Usage

Poké Balls are one of the most important tools in Cobblemon. Other Pokémon cannot be obtained aside from the chosen initial starter without them.

In order to catch Pokémon in a Poké Ball, the Poké Ball must first be equipped in a player's hand by selecting it in the hotbar. The Poké Ball can then be thrown at a Pokémon for a chance at capture. If a Poké Ball misses a Pokémon, the thrown ball will drop on the ground as an item and can be recovered.

During battles, selecting the catch button does not automatically start the catching process. Instead, the player must manually equip a Poké Ball, aim, and throw it themselves.

Each of the 32 variations of Poké Ball have their own catch rates; an assigned value and a possible mechanic that changes the capture chance when thrown at a Pokémon.

If the catch fails, the Pokémon will break out of the ball and the thrown Poké Ball cannot be recovered. If the catch is successful, the Pokémon will be added to the party or be sent to the PC.

Each variation of Poké Ball will display as an icon in the party menu and PC. These icons are purely aesthetic and have no special features.

Obtaining

As of Cobblemon version 1.2, all Poké Balls must be crafted as there is no other way to obtain them. New villager professions will potentially sell Poké Balls and related items in future updates.

The Cherish Ball is unobtainable in survival gameplay and can only be obtained through Creative Mode or commands. They can freely be used for any purpose, such as for event distributions on servers.
