{{cquote|''When thrown, the ball opens up, and a Pokémon™ pops out. The Pokémon that appears is random; it performs its special skill then leaves.''|cite=''Super Smash Bros.'' instruction booklet description}}
The '''Poké Ball''' ({{ja|モンスターボール|Monsutā Bōru}}, ''Monster Ball'') is an item from the {{uv|Pokémon}} series.

==Origin==
[[File:PokeballLetsGoPikachuEevee.jpg|thumb|left|A Poké Ball in ''Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'', having just caught a wild Pokémon.]]
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 exists, 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.

From ''Brawl'' onwards, the unique sound that a Poké Ball makes when it lands is taken directly from the ''Pokémon'' anime, after which it was also added into further installments of each ''Pokémon'' game.

==Use==
[[File:PikachuOnScreenAppearanceSSB4.gif|thumb|[[Pikachu]] being released from a Poké Ball in its [[on-screen appearance]].]]
When thrown, it releases a random [[Pokémon]] upon landing. Each Pokémon has a different effect, such as attacking the summoner's opponents, changing the properties of the stage, and inducing status effects. The Pokémon available change between games, with every new release adding several Pokémon which tend to come from the most recent {{s|bulbapedia|generation}}s. Not every Pokémon returns in subsequent games, with some being replaced in function by newer Pokémon and some others disappearing completely.

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.

In the first ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', up to 4 Poké Balls can be on-screen at the same time; this number was increased to 12 in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. However, it was reduced to 3 in ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' the limit is only 1, perhaps due to limited rendering power.

Another version of the Poké Ball, the [[Master Ball]], was introduced in ''Smash 4'', which has the same function as the Poké Ball but only releases Legendary Pokémon, with a couple of exceptions.

Non-item Poké Balls appear during the [[on-screen appearance]]s of most playable Pokémon in every game except for ''Melee'', and are thrown by the [[Pokémon Trainer]] for his [[Pokémon Change]]. Only [[Mewtwo]] and [[Lucario]] do not emerge from a Poké Ball during their on-screen appearances.

==Damage==
In ''SSB4'', damage varies based on distance. Projectiles thrown point-blank do more damage. Projectiles thrown or dropped vertically will do more damage at greater distance. However, in most cases, the Poké Ball either does fixed damage, or doesn't even hit.

[[Ditto]] was also [[Unused content (SSBM)|planned]], but cannot appear from a Poké Ball in the final game. It was originally intended to transform into its summoner and fight alongside them as a CPU player. However, it was removed due to technical difficulties with implementing its behavior. Ditto is still accessible through [[hacking]], but it just cries "''Metamon!''" (its Japanese name) and then disappears.

Pokémon with a given frequency of 0 are assigned a combined 1/493 chance of appearing, independent of the rest of the frequency system. It should also be noted that at the time that this game was made, there were only 493 Pokémon, probably resulting in the variable of the Pokémon appearing.

==Trivia==
*[[Charizard]] is the first (and so far only) Poké Ball Pokémon in the series to become a playable character in later installments.
*The chance of encountering Mythical Pokémon in the games of the series has varied depending on the number of Pokémon available in the main ''Pokémon'' series upon the ''Smash'' game's release.
**Mew has a 1 in 151 chance of appearing in ''Super Smash Bros.'', referencing the number of Pokémon available in {{s|bulbapedia|Generation I}}.
**Mew and Celebi each have a 1 in 251 chance of appearing in ''Melee'', referencing the number of Pokémon available in {{s|bulbapedia|Generation II}}.
**Mew, Celebi, and Jirachi each have a 1 in 493 chance of appearing in ''Brawl'', referencing the number of Pokémon available in {{s|bulbapedia|Generation IV}}.
**Mew has a 1 out of 720 chance of appearing in ''Smash 4''{{fact}}, one less than the number of Pokémon available in {{s|bulbapedia|Generation VI}}, as {{pkmn|Volcanion}} was not revealed until long after the game's release.
**Mew has a 1 in 809 chance of appearing in ''Ultimate'', referencing the number of Pokémon available in {{s|bulbapedia|Generation VII}}.
*In ''Melee''{{'}}s [[Training Mode]] legendary Pokémon do not appear, and a few Poké Balls may not release any Pokémon at all, possibly to prevent the player from grinding for Mew and Celebi.
*Mew, Goldeen, Snorlax, Moltres, Electrode and Charizard are the only six Poké Ball Pokémon to appear in all five ''Super Smash Bros.'' games. Charizard, Electrode, and Moltres appear in some capacity in every game, with Charizard being playable since ''[[Brawl]]'' and Moltres and Electrode occasionally appearing in the background of [[Saffron City]]. Only Mew, Goldeen, and Snorlax remained as Poké Ball Pokémon in all appearances.
*In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', all Poké Ball Pokémon models are reused from ''Pokémon Stadium'' and ''Pokémon Stadium 2''. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', all Poké Ball Pokémon models are reused from ''Pokémon Colosseum'', ''Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness'', and ''Pokémon Battle Revolution''. ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' is the first ''Smash'' game to use original Poké Ball Pokémon models.
*Every Generation IV Poké Ball Pokémon introduced in ''Brawl'' had its Poké Ball role removed in ''Smash 4'', with only Piplup and Manaphy being changed into background characters on [[Kalos Pokémon League]].
*The Staryu and Koffing evolution lines are the only Poké Ball Pokémon to replace another member of their evolution line in later installments.
*Vulpix is the first Poké Ball Pokémon to appear alongside an alternative version of itself, being its Alolan Form.
**Likewise, Raichu, Vulpix, and Exeggutor are the only Pokémon who appear in their Alolan forms.
*Totodile, Tepig, and Froakie are the only members of their region's starters that haven't appeared as Poké Ball Pokémon.
**Likewise, Torchic and Piplup are the only members of their region's starters that have appeared as Poké Ball Pokémon.
*Alola is the only region in which none of its starter Pokémon appear as Poké Ball Pokémon.
*Kanto is the only region to have all three of its starter Pokémon appear as Poké Ball Pokémon.
**Likewise, it is the only region to have starter Pokémon appear in their fully evolved forms rather than their first-stage forms, with all three being fully evolved.
*Out of the 23 Poké Ball Pokémon that have a {{iw|bulbapedia|signature move}}, only 11 of them use it when summoned.
*''Smash 4'' is the first game to have:
**A summonable Ghost-type Pokémon.
**A summonable Fire-type Pokémon that does not use a move with the [[flame]] effect.
**A summonable Grass-type Pokémon that uses a move with no elemental effects.
**At least two summonable Dark-type Pokémon.
**A summonable Pokémon that can use two moves in the same game.
**No summonable Poison-types.
*Although no two of the same Pokémon can appear in a battle at the same time, this is possible in [[Training Mode]].
*Many of the Pokémon use moves that they cannot normally use in the games. For example, Goldeen cannot learn Splash in the ''Pokémon'' games.
*All Pokémon from ''Smash 4'' return in ''Ultimate''.
*Meowth and Scizor are the only Poké Ball Pokémon to be cut and return in a later installment.
*All new Pokémon in ''Ultimate'' are solely either Generation I or Generation VII Pokémon.
*All Pokémon say their names like in the anime, with the exception of Porygon2, which uses its cry from the games. Neither of Porygon's evolutions have made an appearance in the anime due to the infamous episode, {{iw|bulbapedia|EP038}}.
