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 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
In The Bug Stops Here, Ash and 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 catch a Weedle, while Ash caught himself a 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 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 minor graphical glitch.
