Some colors don’t match as well as they could have because of the files I chose for the Pokémon/Poké Balls. It was an issue of color matching vs. quality files for the video. Apologies if some of the colors aren’t as aesthetically pleasing as they could have been!
Just stumbled upon this video, but it's also true in German as the "Hyperball," which makes it essentially the same as the Japanese name. However, we make it into a "compound word" as we German love to smash words together to make new ones!
Shiny AEGISLASH better FITS the Luxury Ball than the Level Ball. It's a King, so it better have some Luxury in there imo. Close contender is actually Shiny Luxray for the Luxury Ball lol😊 Overall, Great Video 👌
it may be an ambitious project but i would enjoy a series of you going through each regions dex and pairing each pokémon line with a ball, it wouldn’t have to be as in depth as these but i would definitely watch
Another strangely fitting detail with the Beast Ball Shuckle combination, Beast Ball's throw animation opens up a wormhole which has a similar pattern to the bug net that the Net Ball has, so with Shuckle being a Bug and partially wormlike, this match is almost uncanny because of how perfect it is.
You should have chosen Espeon for the Friend Ball. The white bottom references Eevee's shiny, and the green and red dot match Espeon with its red gemstone. The yellow lines can reference that it evolves during the day, and obviously through high friendship. I'm surprised that it didn't immediately catch your eye.
I know it's my bias talking since it was my first shiny in sword and shield, but I will never forget about Grapploct! Literally the first Clobbopus I encountered was shiny and I wasn't prepared to see the square shiny animation since I didn't know a lot about the pokemon.
The only issue I have with the color / ball rankings is that it really mostly takes into consideration colors and not theming. I think Fast Ball works great with regular Voltorb and Electrode because of their impressive speed, and the fact that it’s not just a standard Poké Ball color, but also with an electric symbol upon it, the symbol of their very type! I catch a lot of Electric-Types in Fast Balls for this very reason. A fitting ball for many of the Electric Type.
my most recent favorite pairing is Forretress with the Luxury Ball, or any Pokemon that got a golden texture in SV. the new texture on it is AMAZING!! i also like the (specifically Future) Paradox mons in the Timer Ball, just for the entry animation since i think it fits very well thematically! awesome video!!
Victini is indeed a rabbit! It's actually based on usagi-ringo, which is a way that apple slices can be cut so the peel splits and sticks out like rabbit ears Edit: typo
for the timer ball, i think ursaluna would be a good one kinda. the colors aren't 100%, but the aesthetics of it work, like the clocks in the throwing animation being how ursaluna transcended time and evolved and stuff. just something i thought i'd add
My first shiny was a shinx in legends arceus and I caught her in an ultra ball because that game sadly doesn’t have a luxury ball. I named her lucky and Luxray is now my favourite Pokémon!
With the Luxury Ball, I feel like shiny Revavroom fits it best, both having a nice gold in their color scheme! Also I’ve ALWAYS wanted a shiny Furfrou, so you have one other fan at least lol!
With Trevanent being my favorite ghost type i caught my shiny version in a timer ball for both the color matching and the fact that its shiny looks like what it would normally look like if time went by aka why i chose the timer ball
I think I probably would have picked Jangmo-o for the Love Ball and Dragapult for the Moon Ball, but I totally agree with the rest! I think I might have to make some more exceptions for my Luxury-Balls-only rule if I ever get any of these.
I got my first shiny in the main series games by breeding for it - a shiny Galarian Ponyta! I bred it specifically to have good IVs & to be in a Love Ball. I've got a collection of breedables in one of my PC boxes in SWSH, all of them are caught in neat Pokeballs.
I feel like cherish ball is one hell of a missed opportunity. Genesect is my favorite match, being mostly red with very subtle black accents and looking unnatural, just like the ball itself.
While Aegislash is a objectively better pick for the Level Ball, I'd argue Reshiram or even Victiny work really well too. Reshiram has all the three colors, and Victiny cause, well, it has V on it
Well, i have a skuntank in a masterball I got from an illegal decidueye. He's reddish purple, plus he probably knew memento so YEET. I hate when shinies kill themselves. I had lost a first try shiny regieleki to struggle because I had no masterballs. And I can't hunt it since I already caught it.
You should give yourself more credit: Grapploct is a GREAT pick, omg!!! Like, look at the black circle with the yellow ring on the sides of the head! And I think Deoxys edges out the Quick Ball pick over Dragpult because of the existence of SPEED Forme. :) And is that the PvZ font? :D (Also, you almost had it!: It's "nah-gə-NAH-dəl") (Oh also, it's totally not a big deal, but it sounds like you're constantly moving toward-and-then-away-from the mic, btw! :) -Paintspot Infez Wasabi!
Seeing this reminds me of how awesome some parings yo.hqnd in hand and makes me wish we had many more pokeball types out there like why isnt there one that better catches pokemon in caves or one that helps capture fire types better or whatever
Honestly, pretty good picks. Well done! Also, hot take incoming! I don’t like Haxorus’s shiny. It’s underbelly is already black. Why make the whole thing that color? You could make the body white, silver or even purple. I think the original colors are better than the shiny!
Some colors don’t match as well as they could have because of the files I chose for the Pokémon/Poké Balls. It was an issue of color matching vs. quality files for the video. Apologies if some of the colors aren’t as aesthetically pleasing as they could have been!
Shiny ho oh for the repeat ball!!
Shiny Xerneas for the Dive ball
you forgot the origin ball :(
Ultra Ball is black with yellow accents
In Japanese it's known as the Hyper Ball, and the yellow makes an H shape
I’m so glad somebody had a definitive answer. I was losing hair over it.
Just stumbled upon this video, but it's also true in German as the "Hyperball," which makes it essentially the same as the Japanese name. However, we make it into a "compound word" as we German love to smash words together to make new ones!
Same in French
The amount of satisfaction I have when I see the Pokemon match the Poke balls is unmatched
12:03 I actually caught my Shiny Medicham with a Quick Ball. Later I realised, how the color scheme perfectly fits
Unintentional genius
Shiny AEGISLASH better FITS the Luxury Ball than the Level Ball.
It's a King, so it better have some Luxury in there imo.
Close contender is actually Shiny Luxray for the Luxury Ball lol😊
Overall, Great Video 👌
Literally in the intro - this video is aesthetics only.
it may be an ambitious project but i would enjoy a series of you going through each regions dex and pairing each pokémon line with a ball, it wouldn’t have to be as in depth as these but i would definitely watch
Another strangely fitting detail with the Beast Ball Shuckle combination, Beast Ball's throw animation opens up a wormhole which has a similar pattern to the bug net that the Net Ball has, so with Shuckle being a Bug and partially wormlike, this match is almost uncanny because of how perfect it is.
yeees the sequel the streets have been waiting for this one
You should have chosen Espeon for the Friend Ball.
The white bottom references Eevee's shiny, and the green and red dot match Espeon with its red gemstone. The yellow lines can reference that it evolves during the day, and obviously through high friendship. I'm surprised that it didn't immediately catch your eye.
I know it's my bias talking since it was my first shiny in sword and shield, but I will never forget about Grapploct! Literally the first Clobbopus I encountered was shiny and I wasn't prepared to see the square shiny animation since I didn't know a lot about the pokemon.
Love Ball fits so well with Ducklett! Not only does its shiny turn pink, Ducklett also has the heart motif going on in its design!
Shiny Trevenant is one of my favourite pokemon and I love the design of the timer ball. That pairing felt like a personal victory for me
I caught both my Zacian and Zamazenta in Lure balls since both were sleeping in a lake . So it makes sense catching both in lure balls.
The only issue I have with the color / ball rankings is that it really mostly takes into consideration colors and not theming. I think Fast Ball works great with regular Voltorb and Electrode because of their impressive speed, and the fact that it’s not just a standard Poké Ball color, but also with an electric symbol upon it, the symbol of their very type! I catch a lot of Electric-Types in Fast Balls for this very reason. A fitting ball for many of the Electric Type.
Shiny jangmo-o literally has a giant pink heart on its forehead for the love ball…
my most recent favorite pairing is Forretress with the Luxury Ball, or any Pokemon that got a golden texture in SV. the new texture on it is AMAZING!! i also like the (specifically Future) Paradox mons in the Timer Ball, just for the entry animation since i think it fits very well thematically! awesome video!!
A pairing I got litteraly earlier today, qas shiny Tyrouge and heavy ball, I never thought It'd work so well
5:57 drowsee is the perfect one for the love ball not only do its color scheme maches
drowsee and love go great together
What’s up pokefans, Mickey here
Shiny Solgaleo is a nice fit for the fast ball and the mark on it kind of looks like an S
I never even thought about that! Shiny Solgaleo is just a crazy cool shiny.
Shiny Noibat goes really well with the net ball, even though it isn't a water or bug type. It's almost a perfect color match.
Victini is indeed a rabbit! It's actually based on usagi-ringo, which is a way that apple slices can be cut so the peel splits and sticks out like rabbit ears
Edit: typo
The shiny form of the galarian birds just made my day ❤
one of my favorite pairings is shiny scream tail in a dream ball, the pink for it's body and the red for its eyes
The friend ball fits ogerpon perfectly.
Perfect pairing for Quick Ball is shiny Cobalion imo
for the timer ball, i think ursaluna would be a good one kinda. the colors aren't 100%, but the aesthetics of it work, like the clocks in the throwing animation being how ursaluna transcended time and evolved and stuff. just something i thought i'd add
The cut into TMNT killed me 😂😂
I figured you'd just use the sport ball's anime design, which is 1. way better, and 2. Perfectly matches shiny flygon.
bro, I always put all pokemon in poke balls. shiny, normal, legandary, and mythical pokemon.
My first shiny was a shinx in legends arceus and I caught her in an ultra ball because that game sadly doesn’t have a luxury ball. I named her lucky and Luxray is now my favourite Pokémon!
I personally think shiny Zangoose goes with the Great Ball the best.
With the Luxury Ball, I feel like shiny Revavroom fits it best, both having a nice gold in their color scheme! Also I’ve ALWAYS wanted a shiny Furfrou, so you have one other fan at least lol!
Shiny dragapult matches perfectly with the moon ball
10:53 if shiny Victini become legit in gen 5 remakes, I'm bouncing off the walls.
With Trevanent being my favorite ghost type i caught my shiny version in a timer ball for both the color matching and the fact that its shiny looks like what it would normally look like if time went by aka why i chose the timer ball
I caught a shiny Giratina in a Moon Ball on Halloween once. That's one of the shinies I'm most proud of.
How did Shiny Cresselia not get chosen for moon ball
drowzee fits the dream ball more because of the waves
You saw shiny dragapult and didn't think moon ball?
I think I probably would have picked Jangmo-o for the Love Ball and Dragapult for the Moon Ball, but I totally agree with the rest! I think I might have to make some more exceptions for my Luxury-Balls-only rule if I ever get any of these.
Imo, the Moon Ball suits shiny Dragapult best
I was so focused on Dragapult for the Moon Ball that I didn’t even notice. Tbh the Moon Ball has so many great options. Definitely underrated
For Heavy Ball I'd honestly go with Berry Sweet shiny Alcremie. It has all 3 colours present and even blue features on heavy ball look like berries.
I got my first shiny in the main series games by breeding for it - a shiny Galarian Ponyta! I bred it specifically to have good IVs & to be in a Love Ball. I've got a collection of breedables in one of my PC boxes in SWSH, all of them are caught in neat Pokeballs.
Though this one isn't a shiny, you gotta admit that Tentacruel looks pretty clean in a great ball
10:54 And Victini is the first Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex so it’s literally the premier.
Beast ball with metagross goes crazy
in pokemon sword and shield, nothing is better than hatching a shiny lurantis in a Friend ball.
For the strange ball I'd actually say Dialga because Dialga is also fairly monocolour too.
I feel like cherish ball is one hell of a missed opportunity. Genesect is my favorite match, being mostly red with very subtle black accents and looking unnatural, just like the ball itself.
My choice for Love Ball would be Female Heracross because of the heart horn
Was wondering if someone else already commented this. Completely agree.
Whats with all the quick ball shade?? Its my favorite ball for sure, and ive never heard anyone hate on it like that
Scream Tail is my dream ball pick
Furfrou is one of my favorite all time Pokemon!
Fellow Furfrou fan here
It would be cool if you even get these pokemon in these balls
To me a shiny pokemon deserves a premier ball, the prettiest pokeball in my opinion
Yvetal could of been used for the timer ball if its fur on the back of its neck was a more black colour imo
Friend Ball would have been really good for Espeon.
shiny giratina also matches the net ball extremely well
Honesty surprised you didn't say the repeat ball goes well with shiny wishwashi
While Aegislash is a objectively better pick for the Level Ball, I'd argue Reshiram or even Victiny work really well too. Reshiram has all the three colors, and Victiny cause, well, it has V on it
Great video brov
Ahh, fun videos, and another soft-C Arceus pronouncer!!! Subbed!
I love my shiny dusk lycanrock in his heavy ball
Master ball is perfect for Zoroark tho. And quickball? Dragapult, but i also love Dragapult with moonball.
Jangmo-o is CLEARLY the best for a love ball. Like cmon, it has a large pink heart right on its forehead!
Best part of the day when Nic posts!😍🥹
Well, i have a skuntank in a masterball I got from an illegal decidueye. He's reddish purple, plus he probably knew memento so YEET. I hate when shinies kill themselves. I had lost a first try shiny regieleki to struggle because I had no masterballs. And I can't hunt it since I already caught it.
I catch all my Pokémon in either timer or quick balls :)
05:55 defo should have been female heracross
as a guy who uses ultra balls i can confirm this helped
these match ups were so bias it makes me wanna make my own match ups XD
You should give yourself more credit: Grapploct is a GREAT pick, omg!!! Like, look at the black circle with the yellow ring on the sides of the head!
And I think Deoxys edges out the Quick Ball pick over Dragpult because of the existence of SPEED Forme. :) And is that the PvZ font? :D
(Also, you almost had it!: It's "nah-gə-NAH-dəl")
(Oh also, it's totally not a big deal, but it sounds like you're constantly moving toward-and-then-away-from the mic, btw! :)
-Paintspot Infez
Wasabi!
The first shiny I caught it Violet, was a Venomoth. I kind of panicked and threw a quick ball, now I feel stupid 😭
Shiny Iron Moth not winning the timer ball is a crime
Shiny hoopa would fit for repeat ball, why, you ask? Becsuse it has orange and yellow + the yellow stuff are shaped like rings
Black with yellow. The ultra ball in Japanese is the hyper ball and the symbol on the ultra ball is meant to be a H.
Last night i failed to get a shiny flutter mane in a friend ball like i wanted, got it in a nest ball tho which actually works rather well
I have a shiny female heracross (so the heart horn) in a love ball. My greatest accomplishment
Great video! Thanks for the content.
i have a shiny dragapult in a moon ball, very good match imo.
14:20 It also has orange eyes.
“Heres the most popular choice for shinys” bro how is it luxury, i aint heard people do it nor have i done it, only thing i hear is premier
Lure Ball is also great for Alolan Decidueye
I think Terapagos fits the beast ball the best imo
Wait, you can’t get articuno into the jet ball… so how can you pair that up with it?
I’ll be honest, I never once considered the *reality* of these pairings. Just the hypothetical best ones 😅
MAN. Level ball is so good for shiny volcarona cant believe you didnt pick it
beast ball matches regigigas change my mind
Please release the list of all the matches!
New to the channle with the last vid but I love the bronzong friendball pairing
The Gallade was In A LUXURY BALL, I have been Betrayed.
Seeing this reminds me of how awesome some parings yo.hqnd in hand and makes me wish we had many more pokeball types out there like why isnt there one that better catches pokemon in caves or one that helps capture fire types better or whatever
Honestly, pretty good picks. Well done!
Also, hot take incoming! I don’t like Haxorus’s shiny. It’s underbelly is already black. Why make the whole thing that color? You could make the body white, silver or even purple. I think the original colors are better than the shiny!
11:38 - after a lot of alliteration and deliberation
I’ve been accused of hacking because I like catching all my shinies in luxury balls lol 🤣
People bully when they’re jealous 😂
the only time corsola takes a w other that the pairing is the galarean variant 💀
If you weren’t going just for aesthetics, the master ball should’ve been Miraidon since they’re both purple and start with the letter *M*
i do like furfrou shepsky
kabuki trim is the best one tho
6:19 i think espeon is a better option for the friend ball
I don’t know about anyone else but I thought the heavy ball would go to orthworm.
