    Pokemon-Go-PokeBalls

    An overwhelming selection of these but which pokeball does what and why the heck would you want to use it. First off, the Lure Ball in Gen 2 it was used to capture pokemons that were a lower level in comparison to the ones you had with you during an encounter. Gen II would be pokemon go’s next expansion if you will, and may include this in it along with many more. It’s really a guessing game at this point but here are some effects we can hope to expect from them.

    Heavy Ball – We would really find these useful about now to catch a Snorlax it is primarily used to increase your chance rate of capturing heavy weights. Another annoying one is Abra if fail to cap him he flees instantly, how frustrating that must feel… That’s why they created Fast Balls it’s main purpose is to gain higher percentage to cap fast types. We can expect to see super cool poke ball types like this in the future.
