Poké Balls

From Pixelmon Generations Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Poké Balls are small, round objects used for capturing and containing wild Pokémon. They may not be used to capture another Trainer's Pokémon or a boss Pokémon.

Mechanics

Poké Balls may be used outside of or during a battle with a wild Pokémon. When not engaged with a Pokémon, using the Poké Ball will throw it. This technique requires aiming at the Pokémon that is to be capture by placing the mouse cursor over the Pokémon. Using this technique, there is a small chance that the thrown Poké Ball will break into its component parts (lid, button, and base) if the Poké Ball misses the Pokémon and hits a block. If this happens, it is possible to collect the broken pieces and reconstruct the Poké Ball in the crafting interface. Cherish Balls, GS Balls, Master Balls, and Park Balls cannot break in this manner.

If engaged in a Pokémon battle, during a turn, clicking on the Bag option will show all Poké Balls in the Minecraft inventory under the Poké Balls tab. This method requires no aim as any selected Poké Ball will be automatically thrown at the wild Pokémon.

Types

The different types of Poké Balls each have different effects, usually related to catch rate.

Crafting

A few items are needed to begin making Poké Balls:

Although each Poké Ball differs, they are all crafted similarly.

  • Smelt three Apricorns of the required colors for the desired Poké Ball (a list of which can be found here).
  • Lay them in a row on the crafting table to produce a disc from the Apricorns.

  • Place the disc on a Pixelmon anvil, and use a hammer to turn the disc into a lid for a specific Poké Ball (color of Apricorns determines type of Poké Ball produced at end). Do this by using the anvil with it in hand and then hitting the anvil until the disc appears to be a complete half-sphere; then, use the anvil to retrieve the lid.
  • Place the metal disc on the Pixelmon anvil and repeat the process.
  • Craft a stone button (a wooden button will not work).
  • Put the lid, button, and base in a crafting interface (any arrangement will do), and a Poké Ball will be crafted.

Other locations

Besides crafting, most Poké Balls can be obtained from pokéloots and shopkeepers.

Config settings

  • "allowCaptureOutsideBattle": If set to false, players cannot throw Poké Balls and catch Pokémon outside of battle.

NBT tag IDs

The Poké Ball that a Pokémon is contained inside of is stored internally in NBT using an ID. This can be used when editing a Pokémon's NBT tags or specifying the containing Poké Ball with the /pokespawn and /pokegive Command.
