Poké Balls are the most important items in the core {{uv|Pokémon}} games and several spin-offs, where they are used by [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to catch wild Pokémon, store caught Pokémon and conveniently carry them around. Several different types of Poké Balls exist, which mostly increase the likelihood of catching a wild Pokémon in specific conditions. During battles, Pokémon are sent out by trainers by throwing the Poké Ball into the battlefield, which releases the chosen Pokémon with a burst of light. The Poké Ball serves as the [[series symbol]] for the ''Pokémon'' series. | Poké Balls are the most important items in the core {{uv|Pokémon}} games and several spin-offs, where they are used by [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to catch wild Pokémon, store caught Pokémon and conveniently carry them around.

Since the Poké Ball's debut in the ''Smash'' series, the characteristic sound effects from the ''Pokémon'' anime have been incorporated into its design. From ''Brawl'' onwards, the Poké Ball makes a distinct, hollow noise when it lands on the battlefield. The sound, initially used only when switching Pokémon in the games, was first associated with landing Poké Balls in the anime. This behavior was later incorporated into the games starting with ''Gold'' and ''Silver'', and has since consistently appeared in each subsequent installment. | Since the Poké Ball's debut in the ''Smash'' series, the characteristic sound effects from the ''Pokémon'' anime have been incorporated into its design.

Since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Poké Ball makes a unique sound effect when it hits the floor (the Poké Ball bouncing sound from the ''Pokémon'' games and anime), thus alerting players to its presence even if it appears off-screen. Also, [[reflect]]ing a thrown Poké Ball will change its ownership, and the Pokémon summoned from it will belong to the reflector rather than the thrower. | Since ''[[Super Smash Bros.
