General Information:
In the Pokémon Universe, Poké Balls are utilized to capture, store, and train a player's Pokémon. Within this universe, there are 28 core Poké Balls, along with nearly as many exclusive and special balls.
Each ball possesses unique characteristics that make it more suitable for capturing and training specific types of Pokémon.
Mega introduced their first Poké Balls in 2017 as part of their Poké Ball Series line. Naturally, the initial Poké Ball was the classic red and white Poké Ball. Over the years, Mega has recreated many fan-favorite Poké Balls. The standard dimensions for Mega's Poké Ball are:
