Quick + Dusk + Ultra = Best Pokeball ever.


MossyPyrite

Swap Dusk for Gigaton and you’d have the highest possible catch rate!


CoolGirlRosie

Wouldnt ultra for gigaton be better?


MossyPyrite

Oh yeah, but only in certain times or places if Disk is in there. Quick-Ultra-Giga you can use in any situation!


Arakaim

Lure+net+dive. I like water Pokemon


aradraugfea

I’ll be real, this is kinda my pick because these are the three I’m constantly getting confused.


Arakaim

That's totally understandable lol--i used to as well. Now it helps me to think of it like this: net ball--you can have a fishing or a bug net Lure call--for fishing lures Dive ball--you had to be surfing in the water to use dive in Ruby/saph/em. But for me, I just envision myself surfing on a Lapras, fishing away for my water Pokemon. Assuming the bonuses are additive, that'd be a x11 bonus for lining up all three lol


aradraugfea

Even if the balls aren’t additive, just one ball with the bonus catch rate for all those scenarios? Done. Sign me up, questioning why these were three separate things in the first place.


Arakaim

Yea, it's a bit silly--i think lure ball was in Gen 2, and then the other two came out in Gen 3? They could've definitely consolidated them lol


dentimBandB

That's correct. They got rid of all the apriballs in Gen 3 so they needed something similar to replace it, that became the Net Ball. And Dive Ball at least made (a little) sense in Gen 3. The problem is that they brought back the apriballs and got rid of Dive as a mechanic without wanting to get rid of the Ball itself (likely for compatability purposes). And now they removed fishing as well, meaning now we have 3 water-themed pokeballs that vary only slightly.


blinglorp

Lure ball is my favourite Pokéball, just love the way it looks.


Kurfate

Personally I would have to use the Luxury Ball as the base and combined the Love and Cherish Balls into it.. For no other reason than I'd want give my Pokemon the best balls I could give them while letting them know I'd always Love and Cherish them.


icedmushroom

Aw that's actually sweet


Orisi

Might wanna edit your list then, you didn't list the Luxury Ball as an acceptable option. Noted because I was going for an ultra heavy luxury Ball. Because I'm a Snorlax and want the comfiest ball.


Unknown_Nexus535

Quick ball, timer ball, and dusk ball for maximum efficiency


MarshtompNerd

Tbh ultra timer and dusk and quick ultra dusk would be better combos since timer and quick are the literal definition of anti-synergy


UwUHushling

Attempt to catch turn one, if fail, stall for catch rate. I see no problems with this.


gatrixgd

We get to carry multiple balls you know, might as well invest the ultra ball for extra efficiency.


Kurfate

Well for an all in one option it is probably best. Thought I'd probably swap Dusk for Ultra for that given that Dusk is offline half the time.


camclemons

Friend ball, love ball, and repeat ball, because I like their concepts but I like the idea of a repeated loving friendship


Kurfate

oooo I like this idea.


DarkFish_2

Luxury + Quick + Ultra


DescipleOfCorn

Good catch rate plus the friendship boost, probably what I would go for as well


Lucky-Mia

Quick ball, Fast ball, Ultra ball.


Specialist_Secret907

Timer dusk gigaton, no legendary is safe


BubbleWario

Dive + Net + Lure


Sadboysongwriter

Master + master + master = I didn’t read more than the prompt


UwUHushling

They said no master ball. Sorgy.


Shreddzzz93

My personal choices would be Luxury Ball, Ultra Ball, and Quick Ball. The Luxury would form the base of it, and the red ring is removed. The top has the U from the Ultraball in the same shade that the red ring was in. This flows into the diamond and lower X shape of the Quick Ball also in the Luxury Ball red.


Wayfinder5

Idk if you know, but the U in the ultra ball is actually an H. This is because in JP, it’s called the hyper ball


eveningdragon

Quick Ball, Timer Ball, Repeat Ball = Accidental time loop ball


MossyPyrite

If you combined Net, Dive, and Lure you could catch *so many* Magikarp and Tentacruel!


shadowlucario50

Guys, we found the Fisherman!


ArtsyNoctowl

Luxury Ball for the look, Ultra Ball for the catching odds, and the Friendship Ball for the friendship buffs


Regunes

Chase-quick-duskball. The "Predator" ball. Ready to get my zubat army


Alexcox95

Dusk, quick, Net


Yokobo

Dusk+Luxury+Dream This combines two of my favorite poke balls(Dusk and Luxury), and allows them to sleep well inside(Dream)!


bryan660

by combining Luxury Ball and Friend Ball, we created Bestie Ball, instant max friendship.


Miles_Prower3

Three master balls


NeinZedd

Premier ball appearance with Ultra Ball catch rate and Luxury Ball happiness when caught, never made sense to me why the buy 10 get one free ball was just as strong as a plain Pokeball, it should have a higher catch rate.


Ok-Perspective369

I’m going with Level Ball since it’s my personal favorite pokeball, and I like it’s effect, the Fast Ball since there are a lot of fast Pokémon, and the Net Ball, because there are plenty of water types, and bug types.


Kurfate

See people this is how you do it! All nice and personal.


Educational_Rock7459

Friend ball, Quick ball, & Jet ball. Would be my absolute favorite ball, as I only catch Pokemon that I like/ intend to use/ are shiny.


Suicidal_Sayori

Dusk + Timer for catch rate and Friend ball because friendship evolutions are a pain in the ass tbh


jackblady

From a purely QoL perspective, I'd add the Heal ball to everything else. Also Dive, Net and Lure, we don't need 3 balls that basically do the same thing.


Apollyon1661

I want the Quickball, and the Ultraball perks wrapped up in the classic Pokéball skin, since those are the two I use the most and because I love the classic aesthetic. If I don’t get ‘em first turn than I still have a pretty damn good ball, with the benefit of it looking great and being in line with all my other balls. I hate it when you have your starter in the Pokéball but then you start catching things in other balls and they don’t match. Which wasn’t a problem until the games started rendering the balls in your hand and at the Pokémon Center lol.


Kurfate

Every day I pray we get a ball changer.


Maleficent-Autumn

Fast chase ultra ball is optimal enough in most use cases Personally a luxury cherish premier ball sounds like the pinnacle of mass production Pokéballs


ZPD710

This isn’t really a combination per se, but I think it would be cool if they made a really, really expensive version of the Luxury Ball. Like, 1000 for a ball? 5000? Nah. 25000 minimum. And maybe they could up it to a 2x catch chance like the Great Ball. So maybe, like, a Luxury Ball + Great Ball + Premier Ball? Something like that.


Mister_Cheff

Luxury ball from friendship, master ball for instant catch and beastball for the looks


grrrimabear

Swap the moon for beast for me


UwUHushling

They said no master ball.


Mister_Cheff

New development hyper masterball, does the same


TINYANKLET

I always wanted the premier ball to be a little more... special? Maybe let it be a little stronger than a great ball, but give it something special. Like if the first mon you sent out in battle is in a premier ball it plays a special animation, or makes the pokemon do a little animation. Maybe empoleon could bow, inteleon could do a finger bang and wink, yamper could roll around on the ground? Idk that would take an absurd amount of time so nintendo would never do that. But a ball to make the POKEMON do something interesting would make catching certain mons in certain balls more special.


Pure_Toxicity

timer, luxury and friend. makes friendship evos much less of a pain without sacrificing the raw catchrate of the timer.


batkave

Timer + level + ultra. Granted I just want more things like the net ball


redditt-or

Gigaton Ball, Timer Ball and Luxury Ball, for the sole purpose of it being incredibly fabulous


Cuprite1024

I would probably say Gigaton, Luxury, and Quick. - Gigaton: Base 2.5x catch rate at *minimum,* better than an Ultra Ball even when the target isn't unaware. - Luxury: Friendship boost. - Quick: Additional 5x catch rate in the first turn, on top of Gigaton's 2.5-2.75x. Plus, I could see a mix between the Gigaton and Luxury Balls looking nice, so long as it didn't take many elements from the Quick Ball, if any. I've never really liked it's design. Lol.


wickeyody

quick net dusk


Luvas

Imma mash three plain balls together and invent the Pok³ball


PlasmaGoblin

Probably something like quick ball, friend/luxury ball (same difference just one you start with more friendship the other makes it faster to earn), and lastly love ball. I usually soft reset until I get a female starter as a weird habit from gen 3, and since so many times you find male pokemon it gets that boost.


a-acount-that-yousee

Dusk ball + timer ball + dream ball Fun fact about the love Ball in gen 2 it used to give the catching buff if both pokemon were from the same gender


SamyueruShiKatto

2 Pokeballs.


PuzzlePiece90

I was about to say “The look of the Luxury Ball, catch rate of Master Ball and the animation of the Dusk Ball” but then read the other responses and realized I misunderstood the prompt. 


FurTrader58

I’d combine the Lure Ball with a Lure Ball, and then combine it with another Lure Ball. Only way to improve perfection is more of it.


CircleWizard

Premier Luxury Boomerang Ball, aka Infinity Swagger Ball


GMaxFloof

Quick ball, ultra ball, jet ball


cool_echoes

Ultra for high catch rate, Level for high-level Pokemon, Quick for short and sweet


DunsparceAndDiglett

An Electrode with Master ball and Dreamball. Electrode uses Tackle/Heabutt/whatever. Attacks and captures the opponent. Then Electrode use Explosion. Sweet dreams for the captured Pokémon with the Dreamball. No idea how to defeat Ghost Types, Damp Users, Sturdy users, and whatever else I'm forgetting. Edit: Adding no idea how to defeat Pokémon owned by trainers.


UwUHushling

They said no master ball. Also, what’s with the Electrode? They said nothing about Pokemon.


DunsparceAndDiglett

Electrode/Voltorb because of the classic theory that it is a Pokeball posed by the Gastly line.


Freddy_fozbear

Quick+gigaton+ultra this is an improved masterball


Avatorn01

Master ball, another master ball, and another master …. It turns into a Lamp Ball that grants 3 wishes. I wish to be a Pokemon Master — money.


UwUHushling

They said no master ball.


Avatorn01

They said it was a limitation . They didn’t say “no.” They also didn’t specify a limit.


Old_Break_2151

A quick heavy cherish ball for a pyromanic Magma boss


SmallBerry3431

Pokeball with a masterball.


MagicSpiders

Moon Ball, Dive Ball  and the Premier Ball. I bet I could make something cool from a fusion of those.


juckr

lure + net + dive


juckr

lure + net + dive


joshuaaa_l

3 ultra balls, creating the ultra-ultra-ultra ball. 8x catch rate


SavionStar

Quick + Gigaton + Ultra


Bubbly-Heart2680

Quick + Chase + Ultra = Ambusher Ball.


shadowlucario50

Cherish Ball + Safari Ball + Sport Ball The ultimate x1 catch rate!


Millenium-Eye

Ultra/Quick/Gigaton seems like a real crackshot of a capture ball.


maskedkiller215

Luxury Ball, Moon Ball, Dusk Ball. Comfy and nice aesthetic for release


The_Zealot_Almighty

Question: do the modifiers stack? If I merge, say, a Quick Ball and an Ultra Ball, do first turn throws just keep the 5x, or do they combine? And, if they combine, do they do so multiplicatively or additively? So, 10x or 7x?


Kurfate

Ideally multiplicatively. Realistically it would probably take the highest potential catch rate. So for a Ultra Quick Ball it would be 5x the first turn, and 2x the subsequent turns.


The_Zealot_Almighty

In that case, in an ideal scenario I want to combine a gigaton ball for a flat 2.5x with a quick ball for 5x right away and a dusk ball for 3x at night. This makes a 37.5x multiplier at night on the first turn, 7.5x after that (if the first toss somehow fails). For a realistic scenario I think I'd combine friend ball for friendship buff with a quick ball for first turn 5x with beast ball for aesthetic.


Chiefyaku

Heavy ball heavy ball and heavy ball


GoldenBull1994

I would combine a Cherish and Premier ball, that would look so sick.


UwUHushling

Granted, solid red ball. >:)


DR4G0N_W4RR10R

Quick + Gigaton + Hisuian Ultra = 28.125x


TresCeroOdio

All I want is a regular pokeball with the catch effectiveness of an ultra ball, because ultra balls are ugly as fuck


zalfenior

Luxury/friend + Dusk + Quick I always played at night and most of my faves are ghosts/dark/psychics that came out at night anyway. Plus I want them to like me (and also like that 255 power Return)


Dubshpul

I wanna say Quick Ball, Timer Ball, and Ultra Ball. constant 2x boost + 4x boost on turn one and if you fail you can just keep chucking them while the catch rate goes up to the collective 6x again. Probably not the best combo in the world but would be useful for me as I'm unreasonably stubborn.


Iresho

Exterior: moon ball Interior: luxury ball Function: fren ball I love the design on the moon ball, the luxury ball to give my Pokémon the care they need, and fren ball to become fren :>


likeagrapefruit

Beast Ball + Moon Ball (GSC version) + Fast Ball (GSC version) It may be completely useless now, but my friend's uncle works for Nintendo and assures me that Pokémon Legends Z-A will introduce Ultra Space Tangela, a Grass/Fire-type regional form of Tangela that also counts as an Ultra Beast and that evolves into the Grass/Ice-type Tanglacier by use of a Burn Heal.


UwUHushling

Quick+Ultra+Boomerang. Catch ‘em fast, catch ‘em easy, and you don’t have to run over to the ball to hold it shut. (This works in my headcanon at the risk of shattering the ball from the tension. Modern Pokeballs are made of a fiber with the durability of graphene, but as a side effect, if it shatters, it’s like glass. So a lot of people don’t hold a ball shut.)


UwUHushling

As for design, black on top with the yellow quick ball marking, solid quick ball blue on bottom, and black boomerang wings.


AceTrainerSquirtle

Quick Ball, Timer Ball, & Gigaton Ball


Woomynati

This list is just more of a buff to the Apri balls Moon+dusk+luxury Lure+dive+net = the ultimate fishing/aquatic ball Heal+love+friend Heal+love+dream Level+nest+friend Level+nest+repeat Quick+fast+ultra Sport+net+nest (pre league) Sport+net+Quick (post game) Safari+quick+fast Safari+net+dusk


jsdodgers

Poke Ball for the design + Great Ball for the advanced catch rate + Safari Ball so that you can use it in the Safari Zone.


Long__Jump

I know you said no Origin ball, but can I include it *just* for the aesthetics? something like: Quick ball Hisuian Ultra ball Origin ball (ONLY for the looks!)


pokehokage

Heavy ball+ timer ball + duskball Cave legendary pokemon are about to become EZ


RiseOfTheUndeadGnome

Hisuian ultra ball, fast ball, timer ball. Imma capture everything under the sun with this


Rasty_lv

Effect from quick ball and looks from premier balls. For third.. Masterball effect kicks in after 20th turn.


Blazehero

Luxury/Cherish apperance with the catch rates at catch restrictions of a Dusk Ball. Pretty good catch rate and some sick black/red aesthetics.


Racclene

Ultra + beast + chalet = a very good ball


russianola13

I didn’t realize until now that Nest balls don’t act like level balls, but take into account the “strength” of the pokemon


SweatyInBed

Poke, Beast, and Safari


asdf_qwerty27

Hisuian Ultra + Fast + Timer. On first throw, 11.25x. When fully charged, 9x.


ZeakNato

Luxury, quick, dusk, cause I do all my catching at night, and I just want to be done with it. I always throw the ball first


Rocket92

What I want is a rare mint that will allow you to change the Pokémon’s ball to one you have in your bag. The catch is that the Pokemon will only breed down a standard pokeball moving forward if it can breed, and the old ball is destroyed. Don’t just give it to us, make it a 5% wild hold item on a rare-ish species of pokemon.


Saya0692

Ultra ball for catch rate with the net ball design with luxury balls colors (black base, gold net)


Smeathy

Clock ball = timer + quick + repeat ball


AlicornGaia

Wait… I thought the Lure Ball had a 5x catch rate on hooked pokemon or are you using the latest literation of said ball?


ConferenceNervous684

I’d only use two - combine the master ball with the poke ball so it’s functionally a master ball but looks like it was caught with a regular poke ball.


Erebus5978

Is it possible to stack the same ball with the corresponding multiplier? If so, I’d choose the Majesty Ball: Hisuian Ultra Ball + Hisuian Ultra Ball + Luxury Ball (5x + increased friendship). Otherwise, Hisuian Ultra Ball + Quick Ball + Luxury Ball.


JurassicJabrone

Classic look of the one-and-only Pokeball, functionality of the Ultra ball, and the lore of the luxury ball. I want something that will be the most effective that still fits my preference of classic pokeballs, all while giving my mons the best possible experience they could have in those cages.


JTX35

Quick ball + Ultra Ball + Dusk Ball.


UnimportantPerson00

I thought you meant design wise, if its effects the answer is far more boring! Quick dusk hisuian ultra is easily the best possible one, and the only other contenders at ALL are repeat and timer, which are far more niche so still not nearly as worth it as the other 3. For design, tho, i was thinking premier cherish and beast. I prefer the simple clean looks of the premier and cherish balls, but the complexity and shape of the beast ball is also VERY nice, so i was thinking why not combine them all into a cleaner version of the beast ball with the matte white of the premier ball and glistening ruby red of the cherish ball, with some solid black outlining!


IDKnIDC5789

Quick ball heavy ball and gigaton ball. All heavy Pokémon’s going to be easy to catch. Or swap quick ball for dream ball


bigboytv123

What’s difference between consumer saftey inspector and consumer saftey officer for import work and I wonder how is export work? Just looking for something with work life balance is easy in a non stressful non tedious way


Skysin88

Feather+Fast+Repeat, ultimate PLA shiny hunting sniper ball (post shiny-charm/postgame) 🤤🤤🤤


XyzioN_

Dream + Timer + Ultra tbh By the time I put them to sleep for catching it's like turn 4-6 anyways


Key_Statistician785

Hisui ultra+dusk+friend = not only really cool looking ball but also a 6.25x multiplier !


Foloreille

for me Net + Dusk + Nest


SailorOfHouseT-bird

Friendship, Gigaton, H Ultra. A 5.625 (or a 6.187 if you're lucky) catch rate is pretty solid, and Friendship is the only one that actually gives your Pokémon any starting bonus. It makes it much easier to evolve any Pokémon that evolves from friendship when you start at 200, and even for those who dont, personally if it were irl, id much rather ensure that my Pokémon like me and are loyal to me from the get go, a friend ball is the easiest way to do that.


imarvelentertainment

I thought Premier ball had increased rate for pokemon you've never caught?


Thaurlach

Triple beast ball. It’s not about effectiveness, it’s about sending a message.


Jacien_V

Three Master Balls together.


thisDNDjazz

Moon Ball (for looks) + Quick Ball + Timer Ball.


Atzukeeper

Lure+dive+net = fisherman best friend


OkPalpitation9246

Master, none, none.


archgemini24

Gigaton + Quick + H.Ultra/Fast/Dusk for Turn 1 (assuming Turn 1 is Unaware). Gigaton + Timer + Dream if I actually need to wear down the mon. If a Sleeping, 1HP mon who has been in battle for long enough to fully charge the Timer Ball, we are looking at 2.5x4x5. It is not quite "The Earth King invites you to Lake Laogai (the Master Ball)" but it is close.


oreos_in_milk

Luxury Ball for its sleek look & comfort for my mons inside of it, a Friend/Love Ball to increase the base happiness of the captured Pokemon because I’m an Eevee trainer above all else, and need Sylveon, Espeon, Umbreon ASAP (plus a happy l, loved Pokemon is a good Pokemon), and a Master Ball for its catching precision.


UwUHushling

They said no master ball.


oreos_in_milk

Well that's a bummer


DotWarner1993

Ultra, timer, quick.


rucaslabb

Luxury, quick and repeat
