The Lure Ball (Japanese: ルアーボール Lure Ball) is a type of Poké Ball introduced in Generation II. It can be used to catch a wild Pokémon, being more likely to succeed in fishing encounters.
It is one of Kurt's signature Apricorn Poké Balls, and is made from Blue Apricorns.
In the core series games

Effect
Manual activation
When used from the Bag in a wild encounter, it attempts to catch the wild Pokémon. If the encounter is a fishing encounter, it has a 3×GSCHGSS/5×SMUSUM/4×SwSh catch rate modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier. If used on an Ultra Beast, the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 410/4096× (~0.1×).
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the Lure Ball was changed to function like the Dive Ball due to the removal of fishing, and has a 4× catch rate modifier if used while the Pokémon is currently on or in water.[1] In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet v1.1.0 and previous versions, due to a glitch, it will only ever have a 1× catch rate modifier, regardless of the capture conditions.[2] This bug was fixed sometime between v1.1.0 and v3.0.0.[1]
The Lure 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 trial Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle, the opposing Trainer will bat the ball away, wasting the turn (as well as the ball prior to Generation IV).
Held item
Fling fails if the user is holding a Lure Ball.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver only, Lure Balls cannot be held. This is to prevent them being held by a Pokémon traded to Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, where the item does not exist.

In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Gold, Silver & Crystal arc
In Teddiursa's Picnic, a Lure Ball appeared in a fantasy during Maizie's explanation about Apricorn Poké Balls.
In Slugging It Out with Slugma, a Lure Ball was seen amongst Crystal's set of Apricorn Poké Balls.
In Off Course with Corsola, some of the Pokémon that Crystal had caught for Professor Oak were seen in Lure Balls. Later in the same chapter, Crystal caught a Corsola in a Lure Ball.
In Absolutely Azumarill, several Lure Balls were seen in a basket full of Apricorn Poké Balls that Mirei delivered to Crystal.
Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys
In The Great Search! Let's Rescue The Slowpoke!, Gold used Lure Balls given to him by Kurt to help him save a group of Slowpoke from drowning in the flooding Slowpoke Well.
In A Spectacular Battle To Save Ampharos!!, Black was revealed to keep his Gyarados in a Lure Ball.
In Let's Survive This Sea Battle, a ship captain lent Gold his Remoraid, which was contained in a Lure Ball.
In the TCG
- Main article: Lure Ball (Skyridge 128)
Debuting in the Skyridge expansion, the Lure Ball is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the discard pile rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an Evolution card can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It was reprinted in Celestial Storm.
Trivia
- In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and the TCG, Lure Balls are shown to have a green outer coloring; however, in official artwork, they are shown to have a blue outer coloring. Starting in Generation V, the Lure Ball's color is changed to the blue in the games as well.
- However, the Celestial Storm reprint of the Lure Ball card, released in 2018, reuses the artwork from its original TCG print, depicting the Lure Ball as green.
- In the anime, Lure Balls have switched their color scheme twice. In their early appearances, they were colored green, before switching to blue later in the Johto arc. However, upon the anime's switch to full digital animation in Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid, Lure Balls regained their green coloration, and have maintained it ever since.
