Premier Ball in Spin-Off Games
| Game | Description |
|---|---|
| Pokémon GO | A Premier Ball in Pokémon GO The Premier Ball is a special item exclusively used during the bonus challenges of Raid Battles, Team GO Rocket battles, and Max Battles. Premier Balls are never put into the player's Bag; at the end of a challenge, any unused Premier Balls are discarded. The Premier Ball's catch rate is 1.05N, where N is the number of Premier Balls that have already been used in the bonus challenge. The catch rate modifier starts at 1× (where N = 0), like the standard Poké Ball, and geometrically increases after each throw. It's currently uncertain if the catch rate multiplier is capped at a fixed, maximum value.[1] For all encounters that involve using Premier Balls, Shiny Pokémon have a 100% catch rate. In addition, all Shadow Pokémon left by Giovanni are guaranteed captures. For Raid Battles, the Premier Ball is used to catch the defeated Raid Boss. The number of Premier Balls awarded is based on: The player's damage contribution in the raid. The alignment of the Gym (except Shadow Raids). The highest Friendship level with another participant. The time taken to complete the raid (except Mega and Primal Raids). For Team GO Rocket battles, Premier Balls are used to rescue Shadow Pokémon. The number of Premier Balls awarded is based on: The number of Pokémon the player has remaining. The ranks of the Hero and Purifier medals. |
