The '''Repeat Ball''' (Japanese: '''リピートボール''' ''Repeat Ball'') is a type of [[Poké Ball]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It can be used to catch a [[wild Pokémon]], being more likely to succeed if the Pokémon is already registered in the Trainer's [[Pokédex]].

===Effect===
====Manual activation====
When used from the [[Bag]] in a {{pkmn2|wild}} encounter, it attempts to catch the wild Pokémon. If used on a Pokémon that is already registered as owned in the player's [[Pokédex]], it has an increased [[catch rate]] modifier.

The Repeat Ball cannot be used in situations in which Poké Balls cannot be used, such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present or against a [[Island challenge|trial]] Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle (except if used as a [[Snag Ball]] on a [[Shadow Pokémon]]), the opposing Trainer will deflect it, wasting the ball. If used on the [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]], it will dodge it, wasting the ball.

=====Generation III to VI=====
If used on a Pokémon that is already registered as owned in the player's Pokédex, the Repeat Ball has a 3× catch rate modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier.

=====Generation VII=====
If used on a Pokémon that is already registered as owned in the player's Pokédex, the Repeat Ball has a 3.5× catch rate modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier. If used on an [[Ultra Beast]], the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 0.1×.

====Held item====
{{m|Fling}} fails if the user is holding a Repeat Ball.
