Beast Balls have emerged as an essential tool in Pokémon GO. Players are eagerly anticipating their availability as part of the latest Ultra Unlock Challenge for GO Fest: Global.
This introduction aims to explore the significance of Beast Balls and the reasons behind Niantic’s decision to make their acquisition a collective effort. Get ready for a thrilling week filled with Ultra Beast activities.
What Effects Do Beast Balls Have in Pokémon GO?
What is the Capture Rate for Beast Balls?
Beast Balls are a unique type of Poké Ball used in Pokémon GO, specifically designed to catch Ultra Beasts. They dramatically increase the likelihood of success when capturing these powerful Pokémon, making them considerably more effective than standard Poké Balls, Great Balls, or even Ultra Balls.
| Ball Type | Capture Value |
|---|---|
| Premier Ball | 1.05 |
| Ultra Ball | 2 |
| Beast Ball | 20 |
The capture rate of Beast Balls considerably surpasses that of other Poké Balls. For context, a standard Premier Ball has a capture value of 1.05, while an Ultra Ball has a value of 2. In stark contrast, Beast Balls boast a remarkable value of 20.
Multiple factors influence catch rates: the type of ball used, any Berry applied, the type of throw, whether the throw was curved, the player’s catch medal, and the nature of the encounter. Even without additional enhancements like a Golden Razz Berry or an Excellent Throw, Beast Balls provide a significant advantage. This makes them nearly indispensable for catching Ultra Beasts, particularly during special events like GO Fest Global.
This function allows Trainers opportunities to accumulate and utilize some of the game’s most formidable Pokémon, including the ability to capture Ultra Beasts that can be converted into different forms of Necrozma, such as Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings versions.
How to Acquire Beast Balls in Pokémon GO
Obtaining Beast Balls in Pokémon GO is exceptionally rare and challenging. Beast Balls made their first appearance in 2022. To earn Beast Balls for the upcoming GO Fest: Global, Trainers must collectively complete a Global Challenge by finishing 30 million raids worldwide before the end of Friday.
Progress has already reached 20%, and the Pokémon GO community has a strong history of achieving Global Challenges. Achieving this target will unlock the much-desired Beast Balls.
After the GO Fest: Global, Beast Balls may become unavailable for an extended period.
