Poké Balls are one of the signature items originating from the Pokémon franchise. Their purpose is to store and mobilize Pokémon within the ball when they are not in battle. In the Super Smash Bros. series, Poké Balls appear as items in all six installments, so their series debut is in the first Super Smash Bros. game.

If a fighter throws a Poké Ball, it releases a random Pokémon, which says its cry and then either attacks or moves around, depending on the Pokémon. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Pokémon Trainer uses a Poké Ball to change between his three different Pokémon: Charizard, Squirtle and Ivysaur.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Master Ball variant of Poké Ball appears as an item. They specifically release only rare and Legendary Pokémon, while the regular Poké Ball can release any Pokémon.

These balls are used to capture and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be captured, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. Master Balls are the strongest type.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out to battle. Pokémon live in these items which, despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable, Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to whoever calls them out. You never know which Pokémon you'll get, but some of them are devastatingly powerful.
