What Type of Pokémon Go Pokeball Could We See In The Future?

These are some of the balls available in the new Gen Pokémon series. Not all of these seem practical, however, there are some that we could see in the future.

Pokémon Go Pokeball you should keep your eye out for.

  • Level Ball: Higher Capture Rate on Mon’s of levels lower than your level.
  • Moon Ball: Higher Capture Rate on Pokémon that evolve with a Moon Stone. Fairy Type are who utilize moonstones from the original series.
  • Love Ball: Higher Capture Rate on of the opposite gender.
  • Heavy Ball: Higher Capture Rate on heavier Mon’s such as Snorlax.
  • Fast Ball: Higher Capture Rate on fast Mon’s or those able to flee from battle.
  • Net Ball: Higher Capture Rate on Water- and Bug-type. Pokemon GO Pokeball with higher capture rate based on type.
  • Repeat Ball: Higher Capture Rate on Pokémon that are registered in the Pokédex as caught.
  • Dusk Ball: Higher Capture Rate when used at night. Pokemon GO Pokeball used at night-time.
  • Timer Ball: Higher Capture Rate in battles that have lasted longer.
  • Quick Ball: Higher Capture Rate when used during the first of the battle.

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.
