Pokemon Scarlet and Violet offer players many activities to do and this variety is exactly what the fans appreciate. With the new 9th generation pokemon roster, the game features different Pokeballs to catch different species and types of Pokemon. This is why today we will dive into the details of how to get one of the most interesting Pokeball in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, the Love Ball. We will discuss everything in terms of what the ball is, and its benefits. So, we advise that you read till the end to find all the answers.
Speaking of the Love ball in the game, it has a unique ability. To explain it simply, this Pokeball allows you to catch the opposite gender of any Pokemon you already have more easily. This means that if you have a female Butterfree, then you have a better catch rate when throwing a Love Ball on a male Butterfree. This is the prime ability of the Love Ball in the game. The catching power of this Pokeball increases to 8x when the opposite gender pokemon is already captured, whereas if you are catching an entirely different Pokemon, then the catching power is only 1x, just as a normal Pokeball. This is what separates this Pokeball from the many others in the game. Now that you know how useful it is, let us see how you can get one for yourself.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet (SV): How to get Love Ball?
This Pokeball is available at two places in the game. The first place is at the Porto Marinada Auctions. You will be able to get it after placing the highest bid for it. However, do keep in mind that the Porto Marinada Auctions can only be accessed after you complete the Cascarrafa’s Gym.
