One of the fun things about exploring the world of Pokémon is that the monsters are not the only versatile things you’ll find. There is also a nice variety of Poké Balls. These can offer several different benefits, like how Beast Balls increase your chances of catching Ultra Beasts. Right now, we’re looking at the Love Ball. We’ll tell you all about the Love Ball and how you can find it in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Love Ball – Benefits and Locations in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

The Love Ball is an interesting Poké Ball. It is one you can instantly recognize thanks to it having a bold pink color. Many players tend to want it purely for the aesthetic, as some Pokémon simply look incredible in a Love Ball.

However, there is use for a Love Ball in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet beyond aesthetics. When used, it will increase the chances of you catching a Pokémon that is the opposite gender of your current battle Pokémon.

So, if you are eager for a certain gender, then pull out the Love Ball to improve your chances.

As for finding a Love Ball in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, you can acquire them in two ways:

  • Auctions
  • Reward

For the first approach, you can head to the Porto Marina Auction House. But first, be sure you have unlocked auctions, which are done by completing the Cascarrafa’s Gym Challenge.

The auctions are done in both real-time and randomly as you play the game. So, if you don’t see the Love Ball up for auction when you arrive, consider heading back there at another time. Of course, be sure you have enough currency to achieve the highest bid for it.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Will Get Update 1.2 Next Month

There is a more certain way that you can find the Love Ball in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet if you don’t want to wait for the auctions.

You can earn the Love Ball as a reward for completing the Academy Ace Tournament. The Love Ball is one of the many rewards you will get, in fact.

You must unlock this tournament first, though. To do so, you must finish the game and defeat all eight Gym Leaders in rematches.

Now that you know your options, you can work on obtaining the Love Ball in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is available on Nintendo Switch.
