Trivia[]
The Love Ball can be used on a Pokémon of the same species and opposite gender as the player character's Pokémon. If these statistics are followed, then the Ball is known to be x8 more effective in catching the wild Pokémon than would a regular Poké Ball. If the wild Pokémon is of a different species, or if either Pokémon is genderless, then the Love Ball has x1 effectiveness.
In Generation II, the Love Ball is incorrectly programmed to have an increased catch rate for Pokémon of the same gender as the player's Pokémon rather than the opposite gender.
