The red and white Poké Ball is the most iconic model and typically the first tool a Trainer receives to catch wild Pokémon
The Poké Ball is the hallmark of aspiring trainers everywhere. This remarkable device is an essential part of a trainer’s equipment, required first to catch a Pokémon and then as a place for it to reside in comfort when not helping its trainer on their adventures.
While the advanced mechanics by which a Poké Ball captures and houses a Pokémon are mysterious and unknown to our technology, we know that they are activated by a button on the front of the ball.

Please note that, in many regions, the first production batch of each variant can sell out very quickly. While we will always do our best to make more Mini Poké Balls quickly, there will be times when the Mini Poké Ball you want might be out of stock. Where stock has sold out, many retailers will continue to take pre-orders for subsequent production batch deliveries, which will then ship out as soon as the new stock comes in, but please be patient, these premium Mini Poké Balls take many months to make and ship all over the world.

Frequently-asked questions
Look down this list of frequently-asked questions to find answers that will help you if you are thinking of buying a Mini Poké Ball and want to learn more about how it works and what is included in the pack.
Are the Poké Balls accurate?
Yes. We designed the Mini Poké Ball using all available references and took advice and guidance from The Pokémon Company International (TPCi). The dimensions, colour, size and weight of the Mini Poké Balls have been officially approved by Pokémon.
What is the Mini Poké Ball made from?
The Mini Poké Ball is made from a mix of materials. The outer shell halves are precision-made die cast zinc which has been polished and then finished with a high-quality lacquer. The black band and white button, and much of the internal geometry needed to hold the electronics and batteries, are ABS – an engineering-grade injection moulded plastic.
How much does the Mini Poké Ball weigh?
The Mini Poké Ball weighs 80 g (2.8 oz).
How big are the Mini Poké Ball and Display Stand?
The Mini Poké Ball has a diameter of 40 mm (~1.57″).
The Display Stand is 67 x 67 x 27 mm (~2.64 x 2.64 x 1.06″).
The whole merchandising pack, containing Display Stand and Mini Poké Ball is 100 x 100 x 100 mm (~3.94 x 3.94 x 3.94″).
What is the Mini Display Stand made from?
The majority of the Display Stand is made from ABS, an engineering-grade injection moulded plastic. There is a metal touch plate sensor behind the front upper surface of the Display Stand and rubber inserts hold the token and the SIM pin Mini Poké Ball opening tool securely in place.
The metal Display Token is silver-plated zinc.
What does the proximity and touch sensing do?
The Mini Poké Ball’s button light illuminates as your hand approaches the ball. The button light glows brighter as your hand gets nearer. If you touch both halves of the Mini Poké Ball at the same time, the button light glows at its brightest.
The Display Stand has a touch-sensitive upper front surface which is used to control the Display Stand’s lighting effects. Using the touch interface you can select different colours for the illumination ring and the Pokémon logo backlight.
Please check the Mini Poké Ball manual for further details of the functions and how to change the button illumination and Display Stand colours and play the catching Pokémon illumination sequence.
What is the best way to display my Mini Poké Ball?
That’s up to you. You can display the Mini Poké Ball in a number of ways:
On its display stand
When the Mini Poké Ball is placed on the Display Stand it automatically illuminates the Mini Poké Ball.
On the display token
The display token is not only a collectible but is provided so that the Mini Poké Ball may be displayed on any suitable level surface.
On its own
The Mini Poké Ball is specially weighted so that when placed on any level surface it will come to rest the correct way up. Take care not to place it on any abrasive surfaces or the paint finish may be damaged.
IMPORTANT
Take care always to display the mini Poké Ball on a secure and level surface where it will not be knocked. Even though it is small, as it is made from metal parts, it is still heavy and will be damaged if dropped and may injure someone if it falls on them.
The Mini Poké Ball is not a toy – it is a premium display piece. Always display the Mini Poké Ball out of reach of small children. Never throw the Mini Poké Ball.
Please check the Mini Poké Ball user manual for further details of the functions and how to change the display illumination colour.
Which other versions will you release and when?
The Mini Poké Ball is being released in time for Pokémon Day, 27th February 2024, and there will be four more Mini Poké Balls released throughout 2024: Mini Great Ball, Mini Ultra Ball, Mini Cherish Ball, and Mini Premier Ball (and one full-sized Beast Ball). Check with your chosen retailer or follow us on Facebook and Instagram to find out when the balls are due to be released.
Are batteries included?
Yes. The ball uses 2 x CR2032 batteries. The base uses 3 x AAA alkaline batteries. Batteries are included and are pre-installed inside the ball and the base. The user manual contains instructions for replacing the batteries.
Can I throw my Mini Poké Ball?
No, this Mini Poké Ball must never be thrown. It might be small, but as it is made from metal it is heavy and could injure someone. This Mini Poké Ball is not a toy – it is a collector’s display piece, designed for display only. It has a premium finish, is made of heavy die-cast metal and should be handled with care.
Does the Mini Poké Ball open?
No, this Mini Poké Ball does not open up.
