Best Poké Ball Tournament-

Round 1: Match 16

Here we are at the final match of Round 1 with some very interesting Balls to end on indeed!

The Beast Ball catches Pokémon from other dimensions better than any other Ball could dream of! In all my explanations of the other Balls, I've failed to mention that when any other ball (barring guaranteed catches) tries to catch an Ultra Beast, the Ball has a roughly 0.1x catch multiplier. This makes it extremely difficult to catch these otherworldly creatures- unless you have a Beast Ball! These uniquely designed Balls have a 5x catch rate on Ultra Beasts, making them the only logical choice for the task. Unfortunately, on any other Pokémon it suffers from that poor 0.1x multiplier- actively making it a bad choice for regular Pokémon. Interestingly, in Japan, this Ball is called the Ultra Ball, named after Ultra Beasts! But because we already have one of those (instead of the Japanese name Hyper Ball), a different name had to be chosen.

Our last Ball of them all is the Strange Ball, and well, it's very strange! This Ball essentially acts as a placeholder for Pokémon that were caught in Balls that don't exist in the game they currently reside in. This is primarily used for Hisuian Balls in non-Hisuian games, or vice versa. However, since they were introduced after the release of Sword and Shield, in that game regular Poké Balls are used in its place. The Strange Ball can never be legitimately obtained by the player, but if it could it would match the catch rate of a regular Poké Ball. Also, because Pokémon keep the ID of their original Ball even when the Strange Ball is being used as a placeholder, Pokémon can never truly have this as their permanent Ball- a trait it shares only with the Park Ball.

And that's every Ball appearing in this competition! Get voting while you still have time before Round 2!

When a pokemon breeds, the child will inherit the pokeball of their parents. The exceptions are master balls, cherish balls and strange balls due to them being very exclusive balls

(the strange ball is the one your pokemon gets when you transfer it to a game where its pokeball doesnt exist, such as sending a pokemon in a heavy ball to scarlet and violet)

Is anybody interested in Strange Ball Pokemon? The Strange Ball is not at all inheritable through breeding, but it still looks pretty cool. Kind of reminds me of the Poke Balls Molly uses in Pokemon: The Third Movie

in 2024, don't reject yourself first!!! have a healthy ego! reach out to your friends or people you think are cool to hang out!!! apply for that job!! ask for that raise!!! see somebody cute?? ask them out!!! start that hobby, join that club, who fucking cares if you suck at first!!! the worst thing you can do is reject your wants. you're teaching yourself that you don't matter when it's your life and it deeply matters.

I completed the SixFanart challenge with the characters requested by a few mutuals.

OH ARTHUR BENNETT.. such a gorgeous and intriguing character. terribly burdened by a GRUESOME set of crimes, his light suffocated by a HEAVY century of GUILT. so tragic, so dark and broody, and yet PAINFULLY awkward in any social setting ever
