Effect
When used in a Catching Show encounter in Pal Park, it catches the encountered Pokémon without fail.
The player does not gain ownership of the caught Pokémon until they complete the Catching Show and choose to place the caught Pokémon in their Storage System. The migrated Pokémon remain in the Poké Balls in which they were contained in Generation III; no Pokémon can have a Park Ball as its own Poké Ball.
Acquisition
When the player participates in Pal Park's Catching Show, they receive six Park Balls exclusively for use within the show. They are not placed in the player's Bag, and the player returns any unused Park Balls they have any remaining if they leave the Catching Show.

Trivia
- The Park Ball is not programmed as an inventory item in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. It was added as one in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and has remained that way since.
- The Park Ball is the only Poké Ball that cannot be a Pokémon's own Poké Ball, due to Pokémon caught in Pal Park retaining their original Poké Ball.
- The Park Ball and Cherish Ball are the only Poké Balls which have appeared in the core series games that cannot be obtained in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
