New Pokeballs

[nickdt]

So... if we ever get new Pokeballs... or even if we don't.... which Pokeball would you like to be in the game...

I shall start

Heat Ball.... has a 3x catchrate on Fire type Pokemon... but has a minus catchrate on Ice types
Cold Ball... has a 3x catchrate on Ice type Pokemon... but has a minus catchrate on Fire types.

Possibly a Colorful Ball which has a much better chance of catching Shinies? (I was also thinking of a Paradox Ball which has a better chance of catching the Paradox Pokemon)

Alright... another ball i have thought off

The Multi Ball

It has a 2.5x catchrate for Pokemon that have Multiple forms and evolve into those forms
It has a 2x catchrate on Dual Type Pokemon.

The ball will only be available from late mid-game onwards (As to not make it too OP early on).

Field Ball — 3.5× catch rate if there's an active weather condition in battle (sun, rain, sand, or snow/hail).
...and Terrain Ball — 3× catch rate if there's an active Terrain effect, including fog.

Tough Ball — Catch rate increases with each stat stage raised by the opponent (1.5×, 2×, 2.5×, and so on). Capped at a maximum of 4×. Lowered stats don't affect it.

Dizzy Ball — 3× catch rate on a Pokémon that is confused or infatuated.

Snare Ball — 3× catch rate on a Pokémon that can't flee (e.g. Bind, Block, Arena Trap).

Just a few I came up with that would require some thought and setup to be used to their fullest.

Regional Ball

Higher catchrate on Pokemon that have a Regional form

Altitude ball - Higher catchrate on Pokemon that fly or float in the air.

I was thinking of a Poké Ball specialized in catching Pokémons with great heights... Then I realise most of the names I could come up with would sound dirty. So I'll go with the Height Ball as a working name, scaling its efficiency based on a Pokémon's height.
