[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

Because that's how Valder is. Cheap answer, I know. Hopefully the Net Ball is a bit more comfy for Froakie...

If you wanted you Pokémon to be more comforted, then a Luxery Ball is what is needed. Probably one of the most powerful balls in the game, given that it accelerates the process of gaining Happiness/Friendship for a Pokémon in it. Wonder if its possible to buy these items in the future... Regardless, just make sure you devote a heck of a lot of time to bonding the frog, before you evolve it. Otherwise, you're going to have a bad time with it, that is for sure!

Typically, if Luxury Balls are purchasable in the games, it's only at endgame pokemarts (meaning the League, final gym, or post game).  There's two exceptions though: Verdanturf Town in OR/AS (not R/S/E though), and the Pokeball Boutique in X/Y.  You can also buy them at the Department Store in Uranium.

There's also Friend Balls from the aprikorn pokeballs, but those require green apricorns and a skilled craftsman (like Kurt) to make, and are non-purchasable in the modern day. The effect is also slightly different. Instead of accelerating friendship growth, it just sets the initial friendship value to 200/255.
