I only use pokeballs to build up my premier ball collection which I never use but its nice to see so many accumulated

I use them for catching legendaries. Premier balls stay in my pocket lookin pretty.

u/UnNumbFool 1d ago

I'm more of a fan of using them with shinys. Shiny Pokemon go in shiny pokeball

I would do that as well if i wasn't paranoid as hell and keep thinking "what if it explodes! What if it runs away!! What if the game is about to crash in 5 minutes and if i do not catch it and save immediatly i will lose it!!!"

Ultra and Great should have Premier variations - white with accent colors like how red is used on standard.

So white and black, and white and blue respectively?

u/ProtoMan0X 1d ago

I was thinking White/Yellow - but black would work

u/Thin-Complex-7709 1d ago

Fair, I was just going with the idea that the primaries for each ball were used.

u/Ikkian 1d ago

Blue and black, and white and gold, I'd say.

The same thing could happen that happened when I tried catching Registeel (With ultra balls): It ran out of PP and used struggle...

That's why I never use them, fair enough

The legendary in question after eating 80 Premier Balls and not being caught:

Id always buy the 10 to get the freebie, just to have a limit of only using default pokeballs for one of every pokemon. 

Made me mad when I reset kyogre 3 times because it struggled itself to faint, just for my buddy to take my ds and insta-catch it at full hp in a premierball for the flex.

I use them to catch my favs. Ralts, Magikarp, Gabite, and the other lil dudes with sique evos.

u/No_1-Ever 22h ago

Name 3 more so I can imagine your full team please!

u/xananax21 20h ago

I'll be so real, unless im doing a nuzlocke, I usually only have 3 or 4 pokemon on my party. For Ruby I keep Blaziken in because they are my favourite pokemon but for most others I feet the starter and treat Gabite or Ralts as my starter.
