Effect
When used from the Bag in a wild encounter, it will attempt to capture the wild Pokémon with a catch rate modifier of 8× is it is the same species and opposite of the player's Pokémon or 1× if otherwise.
In Generation II, despite the description, the Love Ball applies the 8× modifier to wild Pokémon of the same gender instead.

In Trouble's Brewing, the Kimono Sisters (excluding Sakura) were shown keeping their Eeveelutions inside Apricorn Poké Balls, with Satsuki's Jolteon's ball being a Moon Ball, Sumomo's Vaporeon's ball being a Lure Ball, and Satsuki's Umbreon's ball being a Fast Ball. While Koume's Flareon's ball wasn't shown, her kimono pattern indicates it being a Love Ball.
In The Professors' New Adventure!, a chandelier stand based on a Love Ball was seen during Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet's wedding.
