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. | ||
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.
