A subreddit for trading Pokémon that are caught in Poké Balls unavailable in Poké Marts (Beast, Dream, Apricorn, Sport, and Safari) and often transported from older games through the Poké Bank or HOME.

In Pokémon X and Y, a new feature was introduced which allowed female Pokémon to pass down the Poké Ball they were caught in to their offspring. 'Bank Ball Pokémon' are Pokémon caught in PokéBalls not available in Poké Marts. Through the 'Pokeball Inheritence' feature, Pokémon can be bred to pass down their Poké Balls.

Guidelines

  • You can put your IGN (In-Game Name) and Friend Code in your User Flair. If you are on mobile, there is unfortunately no option to set flair. Just send the mods a message with your FC, IGN (or whatever text you'd like in your flair), and preferred ball (if you have one!) and we can set it up for you. If you are on desktop, here is a RedditHelp about finding it. If you still cannot locate the edit flair, send the mods a message and we can either help or set it up for you!

Posts should include what you are trading and what you are looking for.


Unless specified, trades are done in Gen VIII (Sword and Shield/SwSh). If you are trading in Gen VI or VII, please use an appropriate tag.


Genders of Pokemon do not need to be specified. As of Gen VII (Sun and Moon), all Pokémon genders (including genderless) can pass down their Poké Balls. However, please be prepared to specify gender in the case that a trader is looking for a specific gender.


Illegal Bank Balls, hacks, and clones ARE allowed, but must be labeled.


If you have a spreadsheet or other external list of bank balls, please post as a link inside a self/text post.

Acronyms

FT - For Trade

LF - Looking For

BB - Bank Ball (may also stand for Beast Ball)

SB - Shop Ball

HA - Hidden Ability

DBHA - Dream Ball Hidden Ability

SBHA - Shop Ball Hidden Ability

IV - Individual Value

EM - Egg Move

Flair Guide

Set link flair after posting and completing! To set link flair, choose the 'flair' option on the far right under the body of your post (where comments, edit, delete, etc is listed). Alternatively, if you include the desired tag in brackets ([tag]) in your post title or body, AutoModerator will set your link flair for you automatically.

Gen VI - Trades done in Gen VI games, which include X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire.

Casual - Pokemon have no specific Perfect IVs or Egg Moves. IVs and Egg Moves cannot be requested and have no impact on a Pokemon's trading values, but CAN be traded under Casual.

Egg Moves - Pokemon have one or more Egg Moves.

5-6 IV - Pokemon have 5-6 Perfect IVs.

Competitive - Pokemon have 5-6 Perfect IVs and one or more Egg Moves.

Hack/Clone - Pokemon obtained either through hacks or clones are included.

Illegal - Pokémon who reside in a ball which is impossible to legally obtain the Pokémon in or who have pre-Bank Egg Moves. Illegals are always Hacks/Clones or descendants of them.

Giveaway - Pokémon being given away with no expectation of something in return.

NSFW is used for 'Completed' trade threads.

If your thread needs two or more tags, include ALL in the title. Hack/Clone and Illegal tags should be link-flaired above others. AutoMod will not automatically flair a post with 2 tags in the title so you will need to manually do it.

If you cannot save your flair after choosing, I believe it's an error in the CSS. Until we can fix it, try pressing enter when manually flairing, it should save it.

LF: Eevee in Fast Ball, Safari Ball, and Sport Ball - FT: Various Aprimon (some listed below)

I recently checked and noticed I have Eevee in most of the apriballs + beast and dream. I'm thinking about doing some masuda shiny hunting and I thought it would be cool to do each Eeveelution in it's own appropriate ball. I'm mainly looking for the Fast Ball for Jolteon, but would like the other two as well to finish out the collection.

For trade I have various pokemon in apriballs

Fast Ball (Torchic)

Friend Ball (Applin, Turtwig, Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Snivy, Cottonee, Larvitar)

Lure Ball (Treecko, Froakie, Mudkip, Clauncher, Staryu, Galarian Slowpoke)

Level Ball (Litten)

Heavy Ball (Stonjourner, Roggenrolla, Beldum, Drillbur)

Love Ball (Vulpix)

Moon Ball (Dreepy, Deino, Litwick, Rockruff, Wooloo)

Dream Ball (Vulpix, Chimchar)

Safari Ball (Treecko, Happiny)

Beast Ball (Clauncher, Alolan Sandshrew, Vulpix, Charmander, Dreepy, Deino)

Also here is my list of each Eevelution-Ball pairing for anyone interested:

Vaporeon - Lure Ball

Jolteon - Fast Ball

Flareon - Level Ball

Umbreon - Moon Ball

Espeon - Dream Ball

Leafeon - Friend Ball (could also do Safari)

Glaceon - Beast Ball or Heavy Ball

Sylveon - Love Ball

And then maybe just a regular shiny Eevee as well with the Sport Ball

Friend/dream ball Hisuian Voltorb

Hi, I just recently found out the voltorb breeds I had from the outbreak event earlier this year were not Hisuian form. I managed to trade most of them via GTS, but friend/dream ball Hisuian Voltorbs are still missing.

It is the first time I post in this channel, so I don't know how you trade pokemons, but I do have ALL other premier ball pokemons to offer. All my collections are HA with egg moves. Or maybe I can provide primier balls directly.

HA Jolly Gligar's (Beast Ball) & HA Timid Indeedee's (Dream Ball) to good homes

Pretty straightforward. Have roughly a box of each and I figured instead of releasing them I'd just give them out. Pretty sure they'll all have at least 3 perfect IV's.

New Safari ball combos coming with Pokémon go?

Hello, this is a news post and some speculation with it.

Pokémon go announced today a new event called "wild area", and one of the news is that we'll be able to get pokémon using safari balls. This event will happen in Fukuoka, Japan, in November 16 an 17 and worldwide in november 23 and 24. As usual, Niantic is not clear how this will work. We will receive infinite Safari balls? We'll be able to get to get pokémon from research using safari balls? we don't know.

Let's do what we can do.

First of all, lets see Which pokémon we can't get with Safari ball yet: Weedle, Wurmple, Taillow, Skitty, Castform, Clampearl, Burmy, Glameow, Chatot, Phione Patrat, Pansage, Pansear, Panpour, Furfrou, Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly. From these, Phione is not available at pokémon go.

Other not breedable will have an opportunity to get too, like meltan/melmetal and gimmighoul roaming form.

Too bad, none of them are available at the event. There are some Pokémon we can force an encounter at the event.

You can wait to get some field research pokémon during the event: Make 3 Great throws can give you Clamperl. Catch 5 Pokémon can give you Taillow. Earn 2 candies with your buddy can give you Glameow. Seven days Research Breakthrough can give Furfrou.

there are more than 1 month to be prepared for the event, let's see if we can get these new combos.
