Read more ↓Ultra Ball is not a Pokémon but rather an iconic item from the Pokémon universe, a more powerful variant of the standard Poké Ball used to catch wild Pokémon. Introduced in the very first generation of games, Pokémon Red and Blue, it has been a staple item in every main series game since. Its primary function is to increase the chances of successfully catching higher-level or rarer Pokémon compared to Great Balls or regular Poké Balls. In the games, Ultra Balls can typically be purchased from Poké Marts later in the adventure or found as hidden items. Beyond the games, the Ultra Ball's distinctive black and yellow design has become instantly recognizable to fans, symbolizing a serious trainer's commitment to capturing the strongest creatures. Its role in the anime is often implied, with trainers using various types of Poké Balls off-screen, but it frequently appears in merchandise and promotional art. The Ultra Ball represents a higher tier of capture capability, making it a valuable asset for any aspiring Pokémon Master.
