Read more ↓Repeat Ball is an Item card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, designed to assist trainers in quickly building their battle-ready team. Unlike Pokémon themselves, Repeat Ball does not have a natural habitat, diet, or evolution line, as it is an inanimate object created for the purpose of catching and managing Pokémon. It was introduced in the fifth generation of the Pokémon video games, specifically Pokémon Black and White, and subsequently made its way into the TCG. In the games, Repeat Ball is known for its increased catch rate when used on a Pokémon that the player has already caught before. This mechanic is cleverly translated into its TCG effect, focusing on finding Pokémon that share a name with one already in play. Repeat Ball's role in both the games and the anime is purely functional, serving as a tool for trainers. Its cultural significance lies in its utility, providing a strategic advantage to players who understand its specific conditions for use. It is a testament to the diverse range of items that support trainers in their Pokémon journeys.
