The Strange Ball (Japanese: ストレンジボール Strange Ball) is a type of Poké Ball introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, though assets for this ball exist in the game data of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. It is currently unobtainable.
In the core series games
Pokémon transferred from other games into Pokémon Legends: Arceus or from Pokémon Legends: Arceus into Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl via Pokémon HOME will be contained in Strange Balls.
Effect
Manual activation
The Strange Ball cannot be legitimately obtained as an item, so it cannot normally be used.

Trivia
- While normally unobtainable, the Strange Ball is used as a placeholder whenever an invalid Poké Ball ID is found in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
- In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the Strange Ball does not exist within the game data as an item. However, its art assets are used as a placeholder for invalid Poké Ball IDs.
- The Strange Ball resembles a modern Poké Ball design rather than the designs seen in Hisui.
