The Quick Ball, released in the Mysterious Treasures expansion, allows the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. Its effect is similar to the Fast Ball.
Trivia
- As of Generation V, Pokémon with a catch rate of 153 or higher are guaranteed to be caught in a Quick Ball, providing it is not an Ultra Beast or other special type of encounter (such as a higher level Pokémon before finishing the storyline of Pokémon Sword and Shield).
- In Generation IV, Pokémon with a catch rate of 192 or higher are guaranteed to be caught, though any with catch rates ranging from 151 to 191 have a 99.994% chance to succeed.
