What are Pokeballs?
Pokeballs are one of the most important features to not only Pixelmon, but the base games of Pokemon. These are used to catch pokemon you find within the wild so that you can use them on your own team or to fill out your Pokedex.
In order to use your Pokeballs, once obtained you can either throw them directly at the Pokemon while holding it within your hand and clicking Right Click on your mouse. If you miss the pokemon then the Pokeball will be dropped on the ground which you can go ahead and pick it back up.
Alternatively you can get into a fight with the pokemon in question and you'll have the option to throw a Pokeball at them. You'll want to decrease the Pokemons health and give it status affects for a higher chance at catching the Pokemon.
What do I need to craft Pokeballs?
There are three main ingredients you'll be using to craft any of the Pokeballs on the server with these being Ores, Apricorn and Tumbestones.
Ores
You will need to create the base of the Poke Ball, using some basic Minecraft and Pixelmon ores which each of the recipes on the server, obtained in their normal means as well as the Pokemart. The main ores you'll be using are:
Iron Ingot
Aluminium Ingot
Silver Ingot
Platinum Ingot
For any of the Pokeball recipe's you'll only be needing one of these in order to craft the Pokeball.
Apricorns
Apricorns are one of the main ingredients you'll be using to craft Pokeballs. Depending on which Pokeball you are trying to craft will determine which Apricorns you will need. There are only 7 different apricorns you can obtain.
If you place these within a furnace you will cook them, allowing them to be crafted in lids for the Poke Balls.
You will be able to obtain these by finding Apricorn Tree's within the wild which you can harvest any ready Apricorns on them. Apricorn trees will have leaves that are dark green in colour. On these tree's you can find flowers blossoming within the leaves, whos center will match the colour of the Apricorn, which later turn into ripe Apricorns.
In order to obtain apricorns from these tree's all you need to do is right click on the sprouts when they're full of colour as seen in the photo above. You can use the Apricorns themselves to grow more trees, by planting them as if they were a seed.
Like with Ores, you can purchase these from the Pokemart via /shop
Tumblestone
Tumblestone is only needed for any of the Ancient Pokeballs if you wish to craft them.
In order to obtain tumblestones on the server you will be looking out for tumblestone mounds on the server, and then using a hammer you'll be able to harvest Tumblestone.
Like with Ores and Apricorns, you can purchase these from the Pokemart via /shop
Recipes and Uses for Pokeballs
There are numerous amounts of Pokeballs which come with their own uses as well as recipes to craft them. You'll mainly be using the items that are stated above to create each of these. Some pokeballs have requirements to get the full potentional of the Pokeball like with the Dusk Ball so be sure to use the fight Pokemon at the right time so you ain't wasting it.
All Pokeballs required a base made one specific materials related to the strength of the Pokeball, a stone / blackstone button, and the lid corresponding to the specific Pokeball (crafted with cooked Apricorns)
You can purchase most of these Pokeballs on our server via our Pokemart which you can access using the command /shop
