Pokéball

Pokéballs are spherical items in the Pokémon world that are used to capture wild Pokémon, so that a Trainer can claim it as his or her own. The Pokémon also remains stored inside the Pokéball unless needed for a battle.

It is not clear how Pokéballs really work, though supposedly they are created to make Pokémon feel comfortable when they are inside. A Pokémon trainer can catch as many Pokémon as he or she wants, but can only carry six Pokémon at a time. The rest of the Pokémon he or she catches are transported to a storage PC.

The standard kind of Pokéballs are the recognizable red and white balls. However, there are many other types of Pokéballs that specialize on a certain kind of Pokémon, or that are simply more likely to catch a wild Pokémon than standard ones.
