Pokémon Legends: Z-A Guide | What Each Poke Ball Does

In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, there are many different types of Poke Balls that players need to obtain and collect to have better chances at capturing better Pokémon. The game takes place in Lumiose City, the Kalos region from Generation VI, and is the latest game in the franchise. 

Poke Balls within Pokémon are what you use to catch the different Pokémon and then be able to use them in battles with other trainers within the game. The Poke Balls basically act as the Pokémon's home.

How To Get Items In Pokémon Z-A

There are many different ways for you to get items within the game; some can be purchased from the stores throughout the city, such as items to give your Pokémon health, better power-ups, and more. There are also items that spawn around on the ground - glowing gold items. It isn't only Poke Balls but also Potions and TMs. 

Another thing to keep in mind is that some NPCs will also give you items to help you through your quest. Some might feature Poke Balls.
