A Dusk Ball is a Poké Ball that has a 3.5x catch rate in dark places.
If it is currently dusk or night, the Dusk Ball will have its increased catch rate. Otherwise, a "dark place" must meet the following requirements for the Dusk Ball to have a 3.5x catch rate:
- The Pokémon to be captured must be located at a height level of 64 or lower.
- The Pokémon must be in a place with a light level of 14 or lower (i.e. not in direct sunlight).
- Rain in an area of direct sunlight will not trigger the Dusk Ball's effects.
- Snow in an area of direct sunlight will trigger the Dusk Ball's effects.
Crafting
To craft a Dusk Ball, a Dusk Ball Lid, a Button, and an Iron Base.
To craft a Dusk Ball Lid, two green cooked Apricorns and one black cooked Apricorn are needed. Placing the three cooked Apricorns in a row horizontally in a crafting bench, with the black one in the middle, will produce three dusk ball discs, and then using an anvil will make them into Dusk Ball Lids.
