Poké Ball

In Union, it is said that in the days preceding the great war, Pokémon were captured and tamed through the use of devices in the shape of balls that would brainwash them into serving whoever bested them in combat. Such a method is unthinkably taboo now in Union, and their prejudice against such measures run deep. Whether or not these stories are true is uncertain.

Gigas and Team Evolution, however, are known to utilize such capture devices, and they have been shown by Rory Donnachaidh, Crystal Verdine, and Sakina. Other societies, like Caldera, do not have the same taboos concerning the usage of the Poké Ball and look upon it with relative indifference.
