The '''Sport Ball''' (Japanese: '''コンペボール''' ''Compé Ball''), called the '''Park Ball''' (Japanese: '''パークボール''' ''Park Ball'') in [[Generation II]], is a type of [[Poké Ball]] introduced in Generation II. It can be used to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} [[wild Pokémon]] during a [[Bug-Catching Contest]] at [[National Park]].

This Poké Ball's name was changed due to the introduction of a different Poké Ball called a [[Park Ball]] in [[Generation IV]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Park Ball anime.png|thumb|230px|A Park Ball in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', {{Ash}} and {{an|Casey}} participated in a [[Bug-Catching Contest]], receiving a Park Ball each, meant to be used during the competition. Casey used her Park Ball to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{p|Weedle}}, while Ash caught himself a {{TP|Casey|Beedrill}}. Eventually, Ash's catch won him the contest, earning him a [[Sun Stone]] and his new Beedrill as prizes, with the Beedrill being placed inside a regular {{i|Poké Ball}}.

==Trivia==
* In its [[Pokémon Global Link]] artwork, the Sport Ball has an S marking on the upper half. In the games, it instead has a Poké Ball symbol in its place.
* In Generation II, the Park Ball's name is written as one word on the in-battle menu during the [[Bug-Catching Contest]], where it takes the place of the Pack command. However, when the ball is used, its name is formatted properly.
* In Generation II, if the Park Ball is used from the Ball Pocket in a battle, it causes a {{DL|List of glitches in Generation II|Park Ball graphics corruption|minor graphical glitch}}.
