These balls don't work - (Pokémon Crystal, Game Boy Color) - A Wild Glitch Appears! #pokemon
2,015In the Generation II Pokemon games (Pokemon Crystal, Pokemon Gold, and Pokemon Silver) there are certain specialized types of PokeBalls that each have a unique function or situational use. Or at least they're supposed to. It turns out a lot of the special PokéBalls don't actually do anything special because of bugs in the game's programming!
For example, the Fast Ball is supposed to help you catch pokemon that run away from battle often. However, this special pokeball only grants its beneficial bonus when you're attempting to catch Grimer, Tangela, or Magnemite. Against any other pokemon, it simply functions like a normal PokéBall. But! Against those three Pokémon, your catch rate is multiplies by 4.
The Love Ball is supposed to grant a HUGE boost to your catch rate when attempting to catch a pokemon that is the same species and opposite gender as your current active pokemon. However the Love Ball actually grants a huge boost to your catch rate when attempting to catch a pokemon that is the same species and SAME gender as your current active pokemon. But! That's still pretty darn useful in my opinion.
The Lure Ball works as intended! It multiplies catch rate by 3 when you're attempting to catch a pokemon while fishing with a rod.
The Moon Ball is supposed to multiply your catch rate by 4 if you're attempting to catch a pokémon that can be evolved with a Moon Stone. But for some reason, it will only multiply your catch rate by 4 if you're attempting to catch a pokémon that can be evolved with a Burn Heal, which... means the Moon Ball is essentially equivalent to a regular PokeBall.
